I'm going to lump these cymbals, china/swish/pang, together for the time being.
According to an old Zildjian catalog there is a "texbook" difference between them but the names don't really match the sound I'm looking for.
I have an 80s 18" Wuhan that is sounds very "pangy". The classic trashcan lid sound. When I think of "swish" I think of a cymbal with a slightly longer attack, slightly longer decay ie: swiiiissshh.
I'm looking for something more like a "pish" sound. Short attack, slightly longer decay.
A good example is "Man of Our Times" off Genesis' Duke album.
A look around at what Collins played during that time is a bit nebulous.
So, what am I looking for? Youtube cymbal soundbite videos have been no help.
