Free Bell Ride?

[jeffn1]

I am looking for a free ride cymbal sound that has a bell-like tone. I think I have heard it in Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion.

By the way, I have GPO, DKFH 2, DR-008 that came with an earlier version of Sonar (no upgrade to all the kits, though). I can play Giga 2.5 version (through the unreleased beta version of sfz+) or Kontakt 2 and, of course, sf2's.

Thanks.

Hmmm. I started looking at these. Do they have the type of ride cymbals that sounds sort of like a bell (I apologize for my ignorance of the proper name for ths type of cymbal)?

On first look, it was not clear to me.

The bell is, in fact, the Ride Cymbal played at the very top crest of the cymbal - which looks and sounds like a "bell", so you'll see most sample sets referring to this specifically as the "Bell" or "ride Bell". You can really bring out the bell with EQ/Compression. I was pointing you to some free, hi-quality samples of drumkits which should include that specific sound - plus you get some great kits for tracking!

If you want some simpler options, you can cruise through all the drum soundfonts at www.hammmersound.net , if you want just that specific sound; smaller downloads.
