Bowed Cymbal Sound Effects

Bowed Cymbal sound effects, all shriek and moan. A bow drawn slowly across the edge of a cymbal gives you deep rumbles underneath and shimmering highs drifting over the top. Broken and bent cymbals go stranger still. Horror can't get enough of it. Some come designed, ready to drop straight into a scene.

Bowing a cymbal gets it ringing in ways a hit never does. The pitch wanders and a small change in pressure turns a whine into a scream. Cut a short one into a Stinger and it does a lot of work. Horror and sci-fi use the longer ones for tension beds, often slowed right down.
