heavy ride cymbal samples?

[mondocane]

recording demo stuff with Alesis USB Pro drum kit and Slate samples + DFHS cymbals. it all comes out pretty groovy and realistic minus the ride... unable to locate a decent one.

ideas and suggestions? which are the most convincing samples out there?

cheerz, A.

Z Custom Megabell (same one as Gojira). I recorded it in my garage, so it'd have very different acoustics, might not mix well with the rest.

-J- is there any chance you could upload those rides to another site, having a lot of problems with megaupload........

My Ride

That one is a Bosphorus 22" Gold Ride... weighs a fucking ton so it's heavy alright. When you do blast beats on it, it doesn't move an inch... almost, haha I love the sound of it, fits everything from pop to metal. It was recorded in a rehearsal room with DIY acoustic "treatment".

Otherwise, I've got This One, which is a Paiste 22" 2002 Medium Ride. Same acoustics, recorded at same place.

Ah fuck it, in case you like em/want more cymbals, just go HERE, and browse for yourself (Note, there might be a second page if your browser doesn't show any Zildjian cymbals, so that means they're on page 2.)

grazie+kudos Gojira, added to the arsenal.

that Bosphorus 22" sounds promising and... H E A V Y indeed! ;-)

will let you know how it works here.

I luuurve your samples man, cheers. One thing man, are the sounddemos you playing through a sampler, or actually recording hitting them?

 

[Erkan]

The sound demos are me playing them while recording, it was just meant for people to download and listen before they download the whole pack. Don't know if it's a smart idea though but it can't hurt that it's there

Some cymbals have VERY many different hits though, I think in particular the Bosphorus 22" Gold Ride has over 50 samples, so it should still be quite enough for some realistic drum programming.. I think.. :|

Ah ok, I knew it was TOO smooth to be programmed! Though with a lot of Battery mapping skillz, realistic fills should be sweet thanks to the number of multisamples. Cheers and beers bro

I definately think so!

Would be nice if I had recorded a room sound mic for each cymbal as well but that would've killed me in regards of time :| But maybe just using an impulse reverb of some room, and then sending a portion of the cymbals to that bus would sort of take care of that problem?

Anyway... let me know if you use them, I wanna hear some clips!

Cheers for these posts - Am getting some samples, keen AS for Gojira ride!

 

[brandy]

I will check that ride! I almost never had a cool Metal-Ride. I programmed a couple of albums - I used almost exclusively my own samples for kick/snare/toms, for crashes I used dfhs a couple of times because they are great - but NO cool ride!!

Thanks Erkan!
