i never actually saw the point in plastic tipped sticks, the tips always just brake for me and the sticks dont sound as good

The nylon tips, as you discovered, alter the sound compared to wood. You don't like the sound, but some do. There's their point. Also, the tips don't tend to break off when I use nylons, although that isn't too often.

Alright so i've narrowed it down to these.... And I just can not deciede... So i'm just looking for some feedback and opinions...

14'' A Mastersounds and 22" A Ping ride or 21" A Custom Projection ride
14'' AAX Stage hats and 21" or 22" AA Rock Ride
14" HH Fusion hats and 22" or 21" (custom order) HH Rock ride

Remember i'm looking for cymbals to be played in dynamic rock/metal settings.
Thanks soo much.

id definately go with either of the sabian deals, if it were me, id be all over the AAX stage hats and the AA rock ride, cuz i have the stage hats now and will definately be looking into that ride when i wanna trade in my stage ride cuz its too washy and like doesnt have a bell

I'm looking for a new China Cymbal, i mean i re newed all my cymbals but forgot about my China, It's only a cheap Sabian Solar, i like the sound of it but i'm looking for something more aggressive and used in more heavier metal.
I'm hoping to stay with in the Zildjian Line preferably.

Perhaps an Oriental China trash is what you want? Or if thats too trashy then maybe an A china high.

01-21-2006, 07:21 PM
to me, the oriental china sounds too trashy... and so does the a custom... but hey, that's just me.



anyways, I saved up about 240 USD and I'm looking to replace my 14" ZXT crash. I want a crash that is a bit dark, but not that light sounding. I'm going along the lines of sabian, zildjian, and paiste cause that's what my local GC carries. In zildjian, I'm looking at a 17" or higher A custom projection crash. In sabian, I'm looking at a paragon crash. I haven't looked much at paiste, so I can't say anything there. Those two cymbals are just what matched my taste, but if you have any more suggestions, throw em at me. Oh, I'm also looking for a good sounding splash. I played an a zildjian 10" splash. It sounded wonderful.


P.S. I play alternative rock and jazz.

i dont really like anything from the xs20 line. I like the b8 pros better. Im sure its good though, nothing wrong with that crash. As far as rides go, look into a Sabian A rock ride, good for rock and other music too.

id highly recommend..err..that u go and try em out. at the very least go listen to some zildjian sound clips. and what exactly in sound are you looking for?

as for money, cymbals last forever if taken care of, so if thats an issue, just save. its much more worth it than 'settling' since you're spending a ton of money anyway.

Now I prefer to test out stuff. I was amazed when i tried oput the ZXTs, becuase they actually lasted some time, like the crash, was a crash....not a beny peice of metal! I've just been on the Zildjian site and I'm happy with the sound. What should i get first, hats or ride? Cheers!!!

Yamaha hi hat stands pwn, theyre really sturdy and the control over the pedal is amazing. I really like them, Yamaha make good everything :lol: You cant go wrong with them :thumb:

Wuhans are expensive in the UK but take a look on ebay, i got a 10" splash for £20 but it hasnt arrived yet, hopefully it will be here tomorrow. But Wuhans are good for the money from what i here but ill be able to tell you soon ;)

Hey there, limited budget, tried to research before I posted, just wanted to see what the difference between the Sabian B8 Series Thin Crash Cymbal & Sabian B8 Series Rock Crash Cymbal.
I ran across what might be a good deal at the local music shop on the thin, but I can't tell much difference on any sound clips on the rock. They're similar in price so I am swaying back & forth. Thanks a lot!

I need some help/suggestions on buying a new cymbal.

I currently use a Zildjian Z Custom 18" Rock Crash, Z Custom 14" Dynobeat Hihats, and a Zbt 20" ride. I know most people on here don't like the Z Custom crashes, but I love mine, just a tad bit too loud/bright.

Anyways, I was thinking of getting an A Custom 17" Medium crash or an 18" A Custom Medium crash, however, I don't know which one to get, and which one would compliment my 18" Z Custom pretty good. So I'd like everyone's opinion on what I should get. I'm open to other suggestions as well, I mostly play Thrash Metal and some jazz from time to time.

15" Hats of some sort, looking at special ordering 15" HHX Stage hats or maybe 15" Vault Hats
17" Crash, I was thinking a vault to complement my other crashes?
13" Hats, i was thinking the paragons for a nice higher pitch sound for hats
another ride, i was thinking maybe the 21" AAX Stage ride?, primarily becuase i think the paragon is just too pingy for me
another splash, maybe the 10" paragon?

I ask as, i have had the tigar on order for 6 months, and due to 'issues' with UFIP Internatonal, well it the order has now been changed to UFIP Italy. And the order left Italy last wednesday.

As i have a gig on thursday, i cant see the tigar being here by then, so im trying to get a 16'' Wuhan.

But in the long run, do you think they will go in sound? (I've never heard a Wuhan, but the 16 is £30, so i cant go wrong really).

Dont buy the pack. Youre better off buying seperately.IMO you get a more unique sound. If you dig the pack then go to your local music store and they should be able to order it for you.

I would say go for another crash. In a punk/alternative settings you might not want a splash too much as you will be limited to very few splashes because you want a cymbal tahts gonna cut really well. the paiste 302 were the old paiste beginner lines. Just save up your money for something a bit more higehr end. Id say get an 18 or 19inch crash, something along the lines of AA, AAX, A custom or A. All those lines have soem good crashes for that kind of music.

^well true, rudes are very rude, but they are what stewart copeland used to use. but if u want good hats from sabian, look into the AA's AAX, HH and HHX then just chose from there, go to the sabian site and do the soundchecks, or, better yet, go to GC or Sam Ash or w.e u have locally and try all sorts of hats out. and for the record, they do make 14' rude soundedge hats

I'm looking for a ride that can be used in bebop, modern jazz, blues, and maybe some softer rock. Preferably Zildjian and under $300 US. It needs to have plenty of wash, but a controled ping, and I don't care how the bell sounds (Z Custom Power Ride for when I need a bell). Suggestions?

i meant the "tsss" when riding the hat not the "TSSS" whe the hat is open, haven't you heard Roxanne?? and well, in my country there's no sabian dealer and no nowhere to try them, most of the stores have B8, Solars, B8 pro, and some pro sonix. No Paistes only the cheap series, of Zildjian some A customs (ride 22") crashes, avedis, constaninople, but really few, it suck :P

sabian's got some great ones, look at HH, HHX and check out the signatures, they have tons of signature rides. if u have ANY price range u may wanna check out zildjian constantinoples, then look at Ks and K customs

yeah i got meinl up to classics cause the guy of the store won't make any special orders of byzance and soundcaster yet, I can get sabs from a friend of mine, the prices are regular (F.E. an AAX-xcelerator price $180 in massmusic, his price here $240; AA pack (hats,splash,ride,crash, bag) $580-$600) it's a nice price for the pro series that i can't find in here

Which should I replace first: my 14" ZXT hats with 13" new beats; my 20" ZXT ride with an A sweet ride; or my 14" ZXT crash with an 18" HHX stage crash?

I know I should replace in order of cymbal crapiness, but they all sound crappy to me. Plus, I have enough money to buy either the hats, the ride, or the crash, so I'm confused on what to buy first

Hi, I'm looking to buy my first Crash cymbal...

I need a Crash that can be used as a "beater" (Keep a beat on it, just like on the hi-hats) and that can be used in most "hard" music, like from Slow Rock to Hardcore...

If you guys could help me, it would be really appreciated :)

P.S. I'm kinda new to drumming, so I'm not really familiar with the terms used... If you need more info, just tell me...

check out sabian, AAX stage and AAX/HHXplosion crashes are great. as are AA Metal X, from Paiste if u have the cash u can look at 2oo2, and zildjian look at stuff like A Customs, but don't get Z customs. meinl has some good ones too, Amun, Raker, Soundcaster, and byzance are great

02-05-2006, 11:51 AM
AAX/HHXplosion crashes are great but, not if you are going to want to be riding on them because, the length of sustain. The AAX stage would work nice, though. Maybe try an AA Medium...

If its too trashy (I'm presuming it is) just test around.

good versatile splash=10inch sabian AA splash. GC doesnt carry AA but they will order it for you. I would jsut order it from massmusic if i was you if youre going sabians.

I'm guessing I'll order myself a new set of cymbals tonight. It will be a 20" a-custom ping ride. now i have a problem. I want to buy either a 17 and 18" a zlidjian medium crashes, or 17 and 18" a zildjian rock crashes.. which sound better? I'm guessing the mediums would be more versatile cymbals.. whta do you think i should go for? mediums or rock's?

the sabian AA rock ride is a good ride for what youre looking for. as far as jazz goes though it probably wont fit that well in that playing situation. the A ping ride from zildjian would be similar to the AA rock ride as well. I would look into some medium heavy rides if i was you.They would be pretty good for the rock setting and ok for jazz as well.
