Hi,

It sounds like tamborines to me with the attack rolled off a little. Give that a try and perhaps stick a filter delay on the top to fill the pattern out.

Cheers

Keith

ive put a hit on every 8th note and the filter delay on it but im still not getting that ring to it...will tweak it another bit and see

It will have a lot to do with sample selection, you could also use an EQ8 with a notch filter to boost the frequencies by a few db somewhere in the high mids say 4k to 10k. Lastly try the frequency shifter effect and set it to ring mode, have a little play to add some metallic effects to your sound.
