VST Buzz has released the Cymbal Rolls sample library, a collection of cymbal rolls engineered and recorded by sound designer Rick Allen in collaboration with percussionist Jon Mattox.

Cymbal Rolls is a huge collection of rolls performed at a variety of speeds on a selection of cymbals, ranging in size from 14″ all the way up 28″.

A range of mallets were used to perform rolls of varying intensity, making this the perfect collection of cymbal rolls for composers and producers.
