The JJP Cymbals Black Friday deal from Waves covers JJP Cymbals & Percussion, a multi-effect plugin for cymbals, percussion and loops, with a price of $29.99, 69% off, until Nov 26, 2026.
It is built to put a spotlight on cymbals and percussion and to shape how they sit in a mix.
The plugin was created in close association with Grammy winner Jack Joseph Puig, whose credits include John Mayer, Lady Gaga, U2 and Green Day.
It works with parallel processing. Four individual effects are added to the core sound, so the original source stays in place underneath.
The maker says it polishes sounds without coloring their essential character.
Each source gets its own tuned settings, whether it's the hi-hat, overhead or room mics, or the tambourine, shaker and loops. Pick the one that matches your source and dial in from there.
It is also pitched as a companion for kick, snare and toms, and as the partner to the JJP Drums plugin.
There are 4 optimized parameters and 6 different modes. Here is what the controls do:
On drum loops, the maker says the plugin makes them sound more lively, satisfying and realistic.
On Mac, JJP Cymbals & Percussion runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later and comes in VST and AAX formats.
