Eatsleepdrums New "Vintage Cymbals" Instrument for Kontakt

We're delighted to announce our brand new Kontakt instrument, the "Vintage Cymbals" pack. The “Vintage Cymbal Pack” is a 3GB collection of vintage Avedis Zildjian cymbals from the 1950’s and 1960’s meticulously sampled and presented here in this Kontakt Instrument (Version 5.8.1 and above) thanks to the wonderful programming talents of our very own forumite cprompt.

Vintage cymbals are incredibly popular with studio drummers because of how beautiful they sound, aged with a glorious patina that helps to mellow the cymbal which results in the removal of some of those harsh frequencies so common in some modern cymbals.

This particular collection includes:

15" 1950's Avedis Paper Thin Hi -Hats

15" 1950's Avedis Paper Thin Crash

16" 1960's Avedis Thin Crash

18" 1960's Avedis Crash (very dry)

20" 1960's Avedis Thin Crash

22" 1950''s Avedis Ride

8" 1960's Avedis Splash.

Each cymbal comes with multiple velocities and articulations for added realism when programming.

The ride cymbal features bell (4 velocity layers), tip (5 velocity layers) and shoulder articulations (4 velocity layers) with up to 9 samples per layer.

The hi-hats feature pedal splashes (4 velocity layers), closed pedal hits (5 velocity layers) and a wide range of variations from tightly closed to fully open (6 velocity layers each) with up to 9 samples per layer again.

Multi-velocity crash cymbal chokes are also included and as a bonus for “Rhapsody in Bohemia” customers, samples of Roger Taylor’s trademark hi-hat ‘barks’ are also included.

User controlled Overheads, Room and Direct Microphone volume levels, plus independent pan control, solo and mute for each cymbal ensures plenty of flexibility when it comes to creating a cymbal balance that works within your track.

The instrument also includes customisable midi mapping capabilities along with an effective limiter and a tilt EQ to add (or remove) extra sheen from the cymbals.

The pack is priced at £15 for an introductory period.

We hope you enjoy this latest release and as always, if you have any problems, questions or just want to talk drums please feel free to get in touch here.

Many thanks,

Mark.
