You can simulate it with midi using a sequencer (or fast fingers :): just
take a standard cymbal sound and play it with a lot of very short notes
in succession, exactly like the drummer does. Then edit the velocities so
that you start quietly and build up the volume, and finally fade out
slowly. If it doesn't sound convincing, you can edit some controllers
like attack time or brightness to cut out the "ting!". Add some reverb
for a final touch.
That should make a very nice cymbal wash, at least it did it for me...
