How do you do this fade in with cymbals?

[spacerobot]

I'm wondering how you do the cymbal fade in like the beginning of this awesome song?

bounce a cymbal hit with a long tail > reverse it > done
You can also add some reverb before bouncing.

Sounds like a regular swell to me.

Or.....

take a cymbal hit, reverse it, apply reverb, render, reverse again.

Interesting. Ok thanks guys I'll look into this.

One of our members had this ace idea about automating a stereo widener from full to zero for snare reverses. Try it.

The same with me.

I found some cymbal swell samples online. Thanks for the suggestions. I did not know it was called a swell. That would have made looking for samples easier.
