AuthorTopic: Wanted: Chinese Opera Cymbal Samples
Suntower
Posted: 26th June 2003 13:55
Looking for what they used to call 'Pang' or 'Sizzly' or 'Chinese Opera' or whatever type cymbals. They are simply not to be found in the 'downloadable' kits I have auditioned.

For anyone familiar with Jaco's 'Word Of Mouth' record, OR Chinese Opera, THAT'S the kind of cymbal I want. The pitch goes up or down based on how hard you hit it, resulting in a POOOOOIIIIIING kind of sound.

Here's an example, if the above is not evocative enough: http://www.suntowermusic.com/pang1.mp3

OK: Where do ya get 'em?

TIA,

no help here but just observation - with those cymbals, only part of the sound seems to go up in pitch when you hit them harder, part of the "crash" seems to stay the same - would be hellishly hard to re-create in a sampler ...

The link doesn't seem to be working for me now but hopefully you will have better luck.
