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.

Beginning of Steely Dan's Babylon Sisters. Listen for the cymbal crash in the left hand speaker. Excellent benchmark for judging various pieces of kit.

There are CD's of gongs and other percussion instruments used for meditation that might be what you are looking for.  There is a gong struck at the beginning of the song "Birds of Fire" by the Mahavishnu Orchestra but I can't vouch for the length of the decay..
