So what is new versus already extant in the Cymbals part of this?
I see there is a Crashes ensemble, a big and small metals, which resemble the things in BBO I have.
Are these the same? All that was new in the Orchestral part of this was the Latin percussion and some birdcalls and whistles. I see there is a Sabian piatti, a sizzle cymbal and two splashes I don't have and probably the finger cymbals are new.
Hello civilization 3!
Most instruments in Synchron Percussion III are completely new. All solo instruments are new. The ensemble instruments come from the BBO collections Dorado, Eridanus and Fornax. On the instrument page in the instrument list these ensembles contain the word "Ensemble". So all instruments without this word are new.
Here they are.
5 Timpani (Adams, C2-C4, hit with a hard beater)
Field Drum (Aural)
Marching Snare (Yamaha)
Piccolo Snare (Kolberg)
Snare Drum (Aural Nut)
Boobams
Piatti (Sabian 20")
Sizzle Cymbal (Zildjian 18")
Splash Cymbals (Zildjian 8", 12")
Ancient Cymbals
Marimba
Temple Blocks
Cencerros
Hand Bells
Rin Bells
Jingle Bells
Flexatones
Car Horns
Warning and siren horns
Whistles
Bird calls
Slide Flutes
Jingle Ring
Congas
Bongos
Timbales
Cow bells
Agogo bells
Guiros
Sandpaper blocks
Claves
Cabasas
Wind chimes
Best regards,

thanks. I shoulda seen that right at the top, I guess I went straight to "content".
I'm torn between this sizzle cymbal and the 70cm Tam from II.

In the end, I’ve gone for everything, but having to choose I would think the cymbals in SP2 are more important for orchestral writing, due to the presence of the gongs.

That was my choice. There's a good demonstration of the 70cm Tam on Youtube, it's really something.
And the Burma Gongs are pretty extensive in this.
