Complement to A Sweet Ride...?

[thumperfoot]

I have decided to replace my not-so-hot Kurt ride with a Zildjian 21" Sweet Ride, and was wondering if anyone could help me figure out which crash might complement this? I currently have a 16" AA medium thin, and I like it just fine, but I suspect I'll have some discord between the two. Does anyone in here have the ride I'm getting, and what is your favorite crash to go with it? (At this point, I really only have the funds for one crash, one splash, and one ride.) Thanks in advance. :thumb:

Might I suggest a 19" A Custom crash.

sweet!

Luck bitch. I need a Sweet ride. How much did it set you back?

A sweet ride goes perfectly with bascly the entire A Custom line.

I love my A sweet ride, it's probably my favorite cymbal of all time.

just about any A custom crash will do you well in conjunction with it.

[Japan3gro]

Just get what sounds best to you. I've only heard A Customs so thats all I can say lol.

[milkmit]

try a 17" A custom sour crash.

har har.

ugh.

(forgive me lord, for I have been corny)

[dumbassdrummer]

Actually, I suggest regular As. A regular A thin or medium 19" crash would be great.

My second ride is going to be a 21" A Sweet Ride, I think. They are very nice and versitile.

[Bloodlust]

would a A sweet ride sound good with a Sabian AAXplosian crash?

[full collapse]

I'm thinkign about getting a sweet ride as secondy ride myself, they have amazing crash capabilities. It's probably the best crash/ride on the market IMO.

oh yeah. just ask travis barker.
(ahh, don't hurt me!)
and i think AA's and Avedis's would work quite well

[thumperfoot]

I didn't buy it yet (grown-ups in my house wait until after Christmas) but it's $199.

In response to PE2112.

[thumperfoot]

A's or A Customs, then? I'll start checking those out. I didn't really expect to be getting a new crash any time soon, as for awhile my crash was the only cymbal I owned that I liked. But yeah, I'm fairly certain it wouldn't mix right with that sweet thing, and I'm kind of all about the ride, ya know? I wonder how long it'll be before I decide I need a new pair of hats...

A cust. medium.

[derryk]

don't set your mind on zildjians. you can get better sounds (sounds you're looker for i mean) from other brands too!:thumb:

[CasB]

Go to the shop and listen what sounds best with the ride.

[SolidGoldstein]

Another note worthy of mentioning is that you can have 2 21" Avedis Zildjian Sweet Rides in the same room, with the same stick and same arm, but only one that sounds good to oneself...

[The Leper Messiah]

A Custom Medium would sound great with the Sweet Ride.

[thumperfoot]

Right on. I'm not stuck on Zildjian at all. I'm up for all suggestions. The thing is, I know I can't take my ride with me to the store to compare. I wonder.... I really like the one I played yesterday; how different could another one be...? Man, I should just go get that one right now.

And John Theodore and Louie Bellson.

Do not listen to this man. Zildjian is the only way to go.

[Panopticon]

well thats just not true...you can go left, right, straight, backwards...you don't have to go right to the zildjian factory...

(now me and milkmit are in the same boat:()

Indeed... If louie digs it then you know it's :thumb:

i'd go with an 18" Vault if you can afford it. You have a nice 16" there, but you'll need some grunt for your second if you have a crashable ride.
