Cymbal Swells
12 cymbals played with short, medium and long swells

The story
As part of the Patchworks collaborative birthday gift for Christian Henson I asked one of my friends, James Walker, to record some percussion parts.
One of the parts was an isolate STEM of cymbal swells and I wondered how well they might work as a sample pack. Turns out, they worked pretty good – so James recorded me a set of 12 different cymbals played short, medium and long swells.
For the Kontakt version there is an added feature to sync the swell peak to the downbeat of the nearest bar, regardless of the tempo or key signature set in your DAW. This overcomes one of my usually challenges using cymbal swell samples. A DecentSampler version is also available but without the advanced features only available in Kontakt.
Check out my video below for more info on the sample pack. Also, check out James on Instagram, Twitter and his website.
