Does anyone know what was originally used in this song and what virtual instrument is capable of making this sound (must be Mac compatible). Failing that does anyone have a clean sample of the sound?
many thanks in advance

Ok, you've all heard the song, if not listen to Ring My Bell by Anita Ward. The sound I am after is what sounds to me like an electronic tom or analogue percussion sound with a long decay. It occurs throughout the song every four beats.

There are some samples floating around, maybe check the Big Sample Thread in the samples forum.
It's easy to make with a typical subtractive synth, though: Either a triangle or sine wave (or self-oscillating filter) with a pitch-modulating envelope. Add noise to taste.

DR-008 has this sound. I know because I was looking for this very sound and it's in one of the kits (probably an electronic or disco kit). I forget which one but I'm sure I can find it. I won't be able to upload a sample cos I don't have a site yet. 
As for creating it with a mac synth - try a drum synth and then pitch a tom up high. I think that's how it's done in DR-008.

That is *definitely* an Electro-Harmonix Super SpaceDrum.

Simmons or Synare (if an older tune), I'd guess...

Im sure any virtual analog drum synth can get close, but I dont know what is out there for the mac. you will want to do 2 things- long decay envelope, and a long modulation envelope. Most drum synths make their attack by sweeping from a high frequency to a lower frequency very quickly. If you slow that sweep you will get the elongated synthetic tom. Then its just a matter of getting the first and last pitch right...
I have an example but my website is down right now... If you want pm me your email address and I can send it

Moog also had a device that would clamp onto a snare or tom drum that could do this sound amazing as well.
Forget it's name, but goes back quite a bit.
