FREE multi-velocity China cymbal samples!

[pjcohen]

Hi, all! Contributing some FREE china cymbal samples, the cymbal used is an 18'' Zildjian Oriental series china. Miced in stereo with a Sennheiser 421 close mic, and as overheads, Neumann KM 84s in an x-y position as close as I could get to my head, to best approximate the sound the drummer hears from his perspective. Included are 6 increasing velocity hits, plus for completeness a choke and the oft-underlooked clang of the cymbal's bell.

I'd love to hear any mixes you guys choose to use these samples in. Feedback is welcome. Hope you all enjoy - please share - and let me know what you think!

Hi. I just wanted to leave a link to my cover that uses the samples

Oh and regarding my opinion, I think the cymbal sounds great already but if you did at least three or four samples per velocity that would be just perfect
