Big rides?

[pitchfork]

Hey guys i've seen a few pics of rides about 40" wide, where can i buy one of these in the uk and how much do they cost.

[spirit]

You have? I've heard of a 30", but never a 40". Why, oh why, would you want a ride that big?

Needless to say, I have no idea. As far as cost goes, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the cost exceeded £1000.

[sLarkin20]

go ahead and buy a small island instead of wasting money on one of those

[Jezen]

You wouldn't get much use out of it. It would weigh a tonne and ring forever. Unless of course if you bought yourself a Zildaisteabian 66" Heavy Gospel Ride.

[Corkofski]

there is one in bonners music in eastbourne (drumland uk)

its £399

[Pikeymikey22]

You could always drill a hole through a gong. Pointless though.

[FockerTheLopper]

Would this be used for your drumkit or would you use it as a sheild?

[Jezen]

Sheild!? No. Castle gate.

[FockerTheLopper]

Sheild!? No. Castle gate.
:p :smash: Its not THAT big!

[LoneStarDrummer]

seems a bit rediculous

[Panopticon]

40" ride = stupidest thing i've ever heard...

when i read the title i thought he would say like 24"

[LoneStarDrummer]

same here. i was also assuming 24". a 24" paiste is the biggest i've seen, and even then that's pushing it in my book.

[dairyairman]

why would you want a cymbal that big anyway? is it just to amaze everyone with your humongous gear, so to speak?

[flyguy]

I have a 24" Zildjian Constantinople Light Ride. It's a beauty and I can get more sounds out of that ride then any other one I've ever played.

I can't imagine going any bigger than a 24 though. Seems to me, it would be based soley on the image portion of the drum set.

Cymbal companies will custom make cymbals to your exact specifications. Have you tried contacting any of these companies? I wouldn't be suprised if a 40" custom made ride was over $1000 though. If you have that much cash to spend on a cymbal....well damn.

[dbl_bass_drmr_Jirvy]

The only big one I have seen is a 24" Zildjian Field Ride...

40"... is it really necessary to have it that big?

[FullMoon]

40" would be bigger than your whole drumset

[fredd]

Can anyone post a pic a a 30" or bigger ride? I'd like to see.

[Jezen]

Brother BB to the rescue.

Sabian 30" AA Medium Ride

[red n black]

For all the times you wanna play heavy gospel.:rolleyes:



I've actually seen a 40" ride ones, in my local drum shop.
It's not there anymore, so I guess someone bought it.:eek: :amaze: :confused:

[Jezen]

Yeah, but you gotta be endorsed by Zildjian, Paiste, and Sabian. All at the same time.

Zildaisteabian baby.

[red n black]

Zildaisteabian baby.


Thats easy. HOW TO: Get endorsed by Zildjian, Paiste, and Sabian. All at the same time.

At Zil HQ: tR@vIs b@rk3r r3comm3nd3d m3.

At Sab HQ: Peart said I rocked his socks.

At Pai HQ: Bonham, Paice and Ward said you SHOULD. Ain't that right chaps.

Piece o' cake.

:chug:

[Josiah]

Zildjian and Sabian will make any cymbal 1" bigger (or smaller) then normal at the price of $100 per inch.

A Sabian 30" AA ride costs approx $800 more then the 22" ride.

[Panopticon]

^^^wow...


have fun TS!

[flyguy]

Paiste makes an 80" gong. Wouldnt that be a nice addition to have behind the kit? The raw power of that would be incredibly ridiculous. I'd cringe....

[Loser]

So would they make a 2 inch ride?

[Jezen]

Yes.

[We_Love_Lime]

I have a 24" Zildjian Constantinople Light Ride. It's a beauty and I can get more sounds out of that ride then any other one I've ever played.

0o0o0o... Zildjian doesn't have that cymbal on their site... nor does mass music. Ahmir uses it though. a Constantinople ride will be one of my next three cymbals ( 16 A EFX, 13 inch Remix Hats, and than that one. Where'd you pick it up ? Bet it costed a bitch too eh? )

haha! the legend of the heavy gospel ride continues! can't believe someone thoght it actually existed....or maybe it does.....it's probably locked away with the holy grail and al capone's treasures in a vault somewhere in south america.
:lol::smash:

Yeah. It was close to $500. I saved up for it for a long while. I actually called almost every music store in the country looking for it, and I was told it was discontinued every time.

After months of searching I called Columbus Percussion in Ohio and I was told that they had 2 of them on the floor. So I drove down to Columbus since it wasn't too far away and got to pick the one I wanted.

I love it.

I personally love the Constantinople Light Ride. You can't go wrong with it. It sounds good in all sizes. 20", 22", and 24". I would suggest checking it out.

I think that's just gong. :p

[Aaron]

my rule of thumb: never get a cymbal bigger than your main bass drum.

[pitchfork]

Ha i just want a really dark sounding heavy ride i find my ride is to bright for my taste, and anyway they look freaking great imo.

[raz0r]

Paiste makes an 80" gong. Wouldnt that be a nice addition to have behind the kit? The raw power of that would be incredibly ridiculous. I'd cringe....

Yeah, and it's only €18,000.

PLUS tax.

That's a 6'8" gong. Imagine mounting that beast!

[We_Love_Lime]

Thanks. Is the 24 worth the extra 200? or is the 22 just dandy as well?

[Josiah]

That's hard to say...

Depends on your pleasure:cost. If you got the cash to just burn, then yes. If not, then no.

Think abotu it add 2" to an already awesome ride... or buy another ride.

[chickensandwiches]

i want ride that's an affront to god himself!

20 million inches across, 3 inches thicks
a bell with a 10 foot span AND
it can only be mounted on a standard stand peg

[playwithfire]

Why would you want one? Have fun playing the bell...

Sabian 30" AA Medium Ride

HOLY MOLY

[Fuzzy]

You said it muh negro. Holy SOCKS!

[playwithfire]

The funny thing is, if it was a K, or HH, etc. you could cut off a few inches and save yourself some money for a darker sound.

Well I was thinking in terms of sound.. But yeah... That'd make the ride like what... 600 some with the extra two? But interms of sound...
