...repeated on every beat of the last two choruses? Is it even a cymbal?

It's not a splash cymbal, and it's not a china cymbal. Is it a hybrid... a china splash? It's quite low in the mix, but it's there.

I really like it, it's one of the things which has helped this one grow for me.

Sounds like a large diameter china to me.

Really? Possibly.. sounds smaller to me, it's not got that abrasive china sound that Dave A. was a whore for.. It's, I don't know, gentler? Well, whatever it is, it's awesome.

It's certainly more subtle in the mix. Sounds lovely.
