Cymbal Samples | Crashes, Rides, Hi-Hats | 24-bit Audio

What Makes Our Cymbal Samples Different

Our cymbal sample collection includes 22 professional packs featuring Zildjian (Avedis A, K Custom, K Series), Paiste (2002 Classic, Rude, Signature), and Sabian (AAX, HHX) cymbals. Every cymbal was recorded in acoustically-treated studios with high-end condenser microphones positioned to capture the full frequency spectrum—from the initial stick attack through the complete wash and decay.

Unlike over-compressed samples with artificial cuts, our unprocessed 24-bit WAV files preserve the natural sustain and overtones. You get complete control over how much shimmer, how much wash, and how quickly you want cymbals to decay in your mix.

What's Inside Each Pack

• Complete Articulations: Edge hits, bell strikes, and chokes for crashes and rides. Open, closed, and pedal articulations for hi-hats. Multiple velocity layers capture everything from ghost notes to accents.
• Unprocessed Audio: Zero EQ, compression, or artificial enhancement. Pure condenser mic recordings. Mix them to fit your track's tone and space.
• Full Natural Decay: Complete sustain captured—no artificial sample cutoffs. Crashes wash out naturally, rides ring authentically, hi-hats breathe with realistic sizzle.
• Variety of Tones: Bright and cutting for rock and metal, dark and complex for jazz and fusion, clean and crisp for pop and electronic music. Multiple cymbal sizes and series covered.
