NEED HELP CHOOSING THESE CYMBAL SAMPLES

[kernelxsanders]

so lately ive been trying to work on drum samples and i put together a short little riff from a song ive been working on and i cant decide which crash i like better, help me decide? riff1 has an 18" Paiste 2002 that i made from the Paiste website, riff2 uses the PCRASH18 from Erkan's organized samples. all i need is another set of ears to help me decide.

also, if somebody can help me with a snare sample, that would be nice, the "paramoresnare" just doesnt cut it for me, i like the snare/kick/toms used in the acacia strain's "wormwood" album, so thats kinda the sound i want to go for, but still with my own touch.

I like more the first one because it more nice to hear riff 2 sound too harsh with the symbals

any chance you can post the paiste sample and tell me how you get more of these ?

thats kinda what i thought as well, though the second one sounds brighter, its a little harsher. but to get these samples, all i did was go to their website and record the sound samples into my DAW. i did it with some paiste's and some zildjians, the one in the clip was the 18" 2002 crash.

but is it only 1 sample ? because they have only 1 sample and 1 roll sample

 

[kernelxsanders]

yea, i didnt blend any samples together, if thats what youre getting at.

 

[Internity]

sorry to bug you out , but what sampler did you used?
because if it only 1 sample over and over its sound epic lol

 

[kernelxsanders]

all i do is load the samples into acoustica beatcraft, (i know, i hate programmed drums too, but its all i can deal with for now).
and what do you mean by only 1 sample over and over? do you layer them together?

 

[Internity]

In paiste website there is only 1 sample for each cymbal , at least this what I saw - one for normal edge hit and one for roll..

 

[kernelxsanders]

yea and i just loaded the edge hit into beatcraft, works pretty well. heres my latest mix with that sample.

I'm not a huge fan of those sounds. Honestly, I didn't find many of the crashes useful in the Erkan samples.

i agree, but its best i got :/

I think the first sample sounds good. You might want to look into Sturgis' samples. I use them and they're pretty solid.

i wish i could afford sturgis samples, but right now i have to rely on stuff that i doesnt cost money.

if there are any that somebody can share, i would highly appreciate it.
