Default I need some cymbal "swells"

I think that's what it's called. lol

Anyone have any recordings of a cymbal swell or 2 lying around? I'd prefer them done with sticks but one with mallets would do.

Maybe about 3-4 seconds long. 2 different types (using different cymbals) would be perfect!

Thanks!!!!

You don't have any drum sampler or? You can do it easily and very realistically with AD and EZD...

How do you do it in EZD and have it sound convincing? Always sounds so fake to me.

Yeah, it does sound fake

I use AD mostly anyways, sounds awesome there. Only thing I'm borrowing from EZD are chinas and splashes.

What you should do is use 16th triplets or 32nd notes (depending on tempo), and using 2 cymbals alternatively (first cymbal 1 hits, then cymbal 2, etc.). Then you copy/paste those hits for the swell length... select the swell, and edit the velocity so that it has exponentially rising curve... works for AD very well.

Should look approximately something like this:
