toontrack, splashes and similair cymbals

[joeymusicguy]

does anyone know what packs would give me the most options for splashes, mini china's, and the like??

i have dfh, superior 2, and ez drummer (pop/rock, clausterphobic, twisted kit)

Buy real cymbals and mic them yourself

Ezdrummers DFH expansion has the most - I run Superior 2 and add in x-kit pieces from that for extra splashes when I do it.

Not so sure Meinl Classics have the high detail that people look for in metal... :|

do they have mini chinas??

there's 8, 10, and 12" HH splashes. smallest china is 15"...

edit: i just checked, and the 8" splash basically sounds like a mini-china

 

[Erkan]

I always imagine chinas, mini or not, like a normal cymbal that has been scooped a lot in the mids, and then having the highs saturated.

Hell, experiment and see if you can do something like that on a 12" Splash or so and see if it sounds cool Atleast it would be sort of unique, even if it doesn't sound like a china.

If you need more cymbals, just load up a second instance (or more) of your drum machine VST, and change the samples.

Btw, I have a mini-china sampled and ready to be used. Raw files though, needs high pass etc.

It's a Bosphorus 10" China, it's not a china-splash, it really is a mini-china Sounds shit when you listen to it solo but works very well within a full kit. Costs a fucking fortune too :|

Just in case you need it, there it is. Got other cymbals as well, just browse around and have a look: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=c058d05e371c6417ab1eab3e9fa335cab0a1d1f359985e14

Yeah, I'd program the hits in EZD or whatever as something you don't have in the kit, like a cowbell. Then trigger the samples from Gojira_ using Drumagog.

 

[joeymusicguy]

sounds good guys, thanks for all the tips and samples.

i sampled the dudes cymbals for good measure. perhaps they will be of use. i'm only worried they'll sound unnatural (but i got about 20 hits of each cymbal).

wish me luck, this is a metalblade release

 

[Erkan]

Keep us updated!

Good luck.
