Here's the deal, I have a lot of high-range sabian cymbals around. If there is interest I might make a pack of them and offer a basic pack for free and an extend pack for a few euro's or something, depends a bit on how things will work out.

Offcourse different velocities will be delivered, but I'm looking for your preferences if it concerns these samples. There are multiple options for micing, what is the general preference op on this? Setup the cymbals around the kit, put overheads on top and record them (probably have to switch setups a few times). Or setup a fixed cymbal stand an fixed mic and "close" mic al cymbals, which would give you the most control on it.

These are the cymbals I have to offer:
Hihats:
- AAXCelerator 14"
- AAX Stage Hats 14"

Crashes
- AAX Dark Crashes 14,16 & 18"
- AAXPlosion Crash 18"
- AAX O-Zone Crash 18"
- AA Metal- X 17"

China's
- AA Metal-X 18 & 20"
- AAX Mini-Chinese 12"
- AA Metal-X Custom 14"

Rides:
- AA Metal-X 20"
- AAX Rock Ride 22"

Other:
- 8" Bell
- AAX Splash 10"

I can supply GOG, TCI & WAV.

Most likely the will be recorded with Neuman KM184 > BLA Auteur Pre/RME pre
 
I'm always looking for new cymbal samples. I would be willing to buy if I liked them as well.
