goin to el, GC this friday before show...

[fatcow2000]

yea, my band has a show with against all authority (currently on hopeless records) and i think its about time i replaced the broken crashes i have...

im looking at everything besides zildjian basically, any suggestions, meinl, sabian, paiste, saluda, masterworks, anything:naughty: ?

[CombatWombat3]

Well, what do you have as of now?

I would suggest the HHX crashes, the vault crashes, the Sig crashes, and the AAX crashes.

[TTTSNB]

Unless you're playing really small places, get some big thin cymbals like 19", 20" Vaults, 20" HHX, etc.

[Massik Kretal]

18" HH Thin Crash = :D x infinity

"im looking at everything besides zildjian basically" :cool:

I say go for some Paistes. Some nice Innovations, maybe some Rudes, if thats your type of thing

[fatcow2000]

well, w/out the two crashes... my setup would be.

21" a custom sweet ride
14" new beat hihats
12" world prc china (probably going to buy a 16" wuhan while im @ gc)


ive heard good things about the vault crashes, and the paiste rudes

haha, the cymbal has to atleast be 18"


any specific models you guys think i should go in looking for... ill post some pics and stuff too if i get the cam working.

[ThugsRook]

...ive heard good things about the paiste rudes...
really? from who? :confused:

seriously if you go RUDE... get the Thin Crashes, they sound really nice. big (18" 19" 20") thin cymbals always sound nice tho :thumb:

[Half Life]

^Haha, that sounds fitting :lol:

It's a shame your skipping on Zildjian, but Vaults are great Sabian crashes, so you might want to try those...but then again, they are about the Sabian equivalent to A Customs so maybe not :p I've also heard great things about the HHX line too :thumb:

[Tim]

18inch AAXplosion

[playwithfire]

Yeah, I agree with Half Life. Shame you're skipping out on Zildjian, As are where it's at. A Customs rock socks too, same goes for Ks.

[HeLLmO]

^A Customs do rock socks off, but i don't like much Zildjian, just really A's A Customs and some of the FX stuff. but i would get a 17'' and 18'' crash, maybe like a 17'' sig crash and an 18'' AAXplosion/AAX stage crash

[beaker_747]

What style/s of music will you be playing?

[hundurinn]

Paiste 2002 crashes

[VTDS_xx]

18" AAXplosion
17-19" Vault
17" AA Medium Thin
18" HHX Power Crash

Those are great candidates.

well, considering the label hosts avenged sevenfold, mustard plug, thrice, as well as a bunch of other "recognized" bands... the fitting comment is something one should keep to themselves.

-- i play punk with some metal influence.

i guess ill be looking at vaults/AAX/AA and paiste 2002/sig/and rudes.

any other suggestions, meinl maybe?

I LOVE Meinl's Byzance, but that might not be what your looking for. Meinl's Raker series sounds just right, though.

[aznriceball]

whats wrong with a custom fast crashes :p that aside, hhx's and aaxplosions :D

i might look at the a customs, i like them, but the z custom line totally threw me away from zildjian.

[iplaybass9340]

Good luck with the show. Awesome band your playing with. I'd say look into AAX Studio 16" if you like brighter tone.

[aznriceball]

dont let a bad line of cymbals throw u off..but be sure to watch out for the counterpart to that bad line in other cymbal companies (rudes/aa metal-x)

[fatcow2000]

haha thank you!

[Murd_666]

HHX/AAX Plosion/Stage

Paiste Signature Crashes
