Yo, so, I always found me having trouble to find the *perfect* crash sample to create *that* tension, you know?

The part of the song that you want to bring energy asf and make a nice build-up, but yeah, I still find it so hard to make a satisfying rising mommentum in my songs, so I want to know:

What are you guys favorite goto crash/risers samples?

Mine is: the attached ones

 

Thanks for the samples.
I don't have any go to cymbals.
I recorded a wave at the beach, reversed it with some reverb and used it in a track I made last week for something different.

 

lol, thats creative asf dude, I'd like to have it too

 

Maybe you should try sample magic stackers

 

i think this dude is just looking for freebies

 

also i use foley thease days my dad works as a mechanic and has loads of broken cars he lets me sample so i recorded myself smashing the windows etc layer them at different octives timestrech them

 

I see, I never took sampling real world too serious, maybe I should give it a try

 

Yea I think foley is a bit common in my genre for transitions with similar technique to the reverse reverb vocal. They mostly use it on one shot plucks, door slams, breaking things etc.
Though I hadn't heard a beach wave swell transition, it fit my summer track nicely.
ZOOM H1N. Not that expensive and good to have to create your own samples that no one else has.
Or just print things with reverb and reverse them.

Sylenth would probably be my go to synth for risers.
