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,

why is this in the rgc thread?

edit, kevvv moved it

This has to be the most unusual sample request I have heard.

Good luck

try dorus 8000 drum sample disc
its got a section called chinese cymabals
wheter these are what your after or not its well worth the $29.99

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 ...

Here you go... (this is where I got mine)

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