Find Your Creative Edge with an Effects Cymbal
When you’re looking to extend the impact of your drums with cymbal effects, you face a huge range of tempting options — each with its own special character. Whether you’re thinking of expanding your percussive arsenal with bells, cymbal stackers, chinas, or another of the many percussion items and effects cymbals we carry at Sweetwater, our Sales Engineers can help you narrow the possibilities while you evaluate features and benefits, from wide color splash effects to mini cymbals and chimes. Find the perfect elusive texture to inspire your music.
Splash Cymbals
For example, expand your tonal palette with a color splash effect cymbal for a softer, gentler sound. Splash effect cymbals are wonderful additions for dynamic sections, grooves, or fills, where their small, thin accents add valuable texture without overwhelming your mix. If you’re looking to smooth your sound, consider enhancing your drums with a color splash effect cymbal.
Bell Cymbals
Bell cymbals add abundant overtones and distinctive high-pitched accents to your player’s palette. Sweetwater carries a wide variety of bells in multiple diameters, thicknesses, and alloys; all of these factors affect the tone and decay of the bell and determine where the cymbal sits in the mix.
China Cymbals
Chinas are another popular type of effect cymbals that add a distinct drive when you’re playing with a heavy, massive sound. Partnered with your snare, a china cymbal’s dark, trashy, and energetic sound creates tonal color bursts that accent music like lightning cuts through the rolling clouds in a thunderstorm.
Cup Chimes
Cup chimes provide a high-pitched ring that’s great for grabbing attention. Use their dynamic magic to connect song sections or to elevate intros or outros with special ambience. For example, a set of multiple, tuned cup chimes and a holder will expand your overall sonic palette with a range of contrasting tones.
Cymbal Stackers
Cymbal stacks have a very short percussive character that you can use to enhance your music’s pulse or to create a feeling of chaotic tension. Whether they resemble weird cymbals or more traditional styles, a stack essentially pairs two cymbals together to create short, trashy accents. Tightening the cymbals controls the amount of decay. Loosen them to increase rattle and wash. Tighten them for a staccato attack with nearly instant cutoff.
