    Totally awesome.  Been using your free cymbal swells but this is a new kind of color.

    Thanks for teaching this trick Joe. I added a couple reverse cymbals to a kind of sleepy spot on one of my tunes this weekend and it really freshened things up. I tweaked one a little bit by adding16th note panning automation and am very pleased with the results.

    Very helpful, Joe, and i am really digging the song. That vocal hook is sweet.
