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.
The double-stick technique on the long ride of Boston's Foreplay (Sib Hashian) cut ... a rare sonic texture; simple and rich. Neil Peart's jazzy crescendo of layered cymbals near the end of La Villa Strangioto is sublime ... the skillful master of veiling complexity and nuance. Miss his energy Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section ... too numerous to mention. Great question OP ... sorry I strayed a bit

Bruce Cockburn’s album from 1991, Nothing But A Burning Light, track 2 Kit Carson, has Cymbal crashes with decay to give any tweeter a workout. Also his recent album Crowing Ignites track Bells of Gethsemane. Mind blowing percussion and guitar work, with reference SQ. Another long time fave of mine…Loggins and Messina Pathway to Glory, from Full Sail. Finally, Keith Jarrett and Jack DeJohnette on ECM, track 2 of 1971s Rita and Daitya…great cymbal sound for the era. |
@bdp24 - +1 Gotta wonder: how many can tell the difference (in sound) between, say Turkish and chinese Zildjians? Between a Paiste and Zildjian, or whether it's got rivets? Was that a Hi-Hat center strike, or: Snare rim shot? Many systems won't resolve and many more folks can't tell (via a lack of familiarity) the differences. I've had to point out to a couple experienced Drummers (albeit: over decades) that their own drum heads/skins had lost their resonance/pitch. Then again: as long as the listener is pleased with their musical reproduction, that's ALL that matters. Happy listening!
