Our sound files

See and hear the actual cymbal you're buying

All the sound files (and pictures) on our website show the actual cymbal for sale. We never use manufacturers demos, generic recordings, or the sound file of an identical cymbal we've previously had in stock. So the cymbal you see and hear is always the actual cymbal you'll receive.

Hear the real sound of each cymbal.

We don't use EQ, compression, filters, plug-ins, or sound processing of any kind in our recordings. We want our sound files to be as close as possible to you playing the cymbals yourself, so we don't add or take anything away from the raw acoustic recordings. This allows you to hear the real sound of every cymbal.

Listen to consistent sound recordings.

Trying to compare cymbals played by different drummers in different situations is difficult. So at Cymbal Junkie all our sound files are recorded by the same drummer in the same studio. Having complete consistency across all the sound files allows you to make accurate and meaningful comparisons between the cymbals. 

Get a custom sound file made for you.

If you're buying 2 or more cymbals and want them to work together we'll make a custom sound file just for you. Use our sound files to choose the cymbals you like, then CONTACT US and we'll make you a recording of those exact cymbals played together. So you can always get perfectly matched cymbals, whether you want 2 or a complete cymbal set.
