FX027 Spiral Trash Cymbal [Hiss and a Roar]

Step into the world of experimental cymbal sounds with the Zildjian Spiral Trash Cymbal Library! Using an 18″ Zildjian Spiral Trash Cymbal, this collection offers a unique range of bright and distorted metallic tones that will take your sound design to new heights. Initially, the cymbal sounds bright when played as a regular instrument, but once contact microphones are introduced, the lower end of the spectrum is dramatically expanded, offering rich, deep tones that open up a world of sonic possibilities. 🎶✨

In this library, we’ve explored a variety of sound creation techniques: from dirty crash sounds, tremolos, and strokes, to taps with various mallets and deep drops. The damping on the cymbal is suppressed, allowing for an extended range and increased versatility. Whether you need smooth metallic textures or intense, distorted crashes, these cymbal sounds have got you covered. 🥁🔊
