Best Examples Of Cymbal Decays On A Recording


Pleas provide an example of any recording with an outstanding cymbal decay.

...or, any recording that gives an excellent example that showcases a decay of a particular sound...whether a vocal or anything else.

Thank you.

Jim Brock is well known in recording circles for his percussion work, and his 1985 album, Pasajes may offer some of what you want. I know there is one brief cut late on side one that is just cymbals. I was the engineer and mixer, and I can say that we used the best audio practices we knew then to create the sonics. The drum overheads and the only mics for the cymbal cut were a matched Neumann TLM-170 pair (Blumlein), through MCI 600 console electronics onto 2" analog tape. The eventual mix was to 1/2" analog tape from which the LP was mastered by Bill Kipper at Masterdisk, NYC. Acoustic Sounds, Ltd has a few copies available that were pressed back then,
