21" or 22"

[Motleyguy]

Quick question, what would be the sound difference between a 20", 21" and 22" ride cymbal. I'm gonna be picking up a new ride sometime in the next couple of months, and I'm thinking I may lean towards a 21" or a 22".

[Panopticon]

these are the rides you will get...its not a suggestion. Its a demand.

20" Zildjian K Heavy Ride

21" Zildjian A Sweet Ride

22" Sabian Paragon Ride

One of those will be yours...whether you like it or not, so choose wisely...

[Motleyguy]

I've really been thinking about the 22" Paragon, I've heard good things, but have never heard it, I want something that's sort of washy, but still has fairly good stick definition, that's medium, not too bright, not too dark...definitely not the heavy K ride. What's the 21" A Sweet like?

[SkaRabbit]

15&1/2"special paiste 101/ahead combo. You can find these primarily in your kitchen with the rest of the pans etc

You know, the sweet ride might be what your looking for. I can't really say how bright or dark it is, but its a crashable ride and it has stick definition from what I remember, and since its crashable, it has that wash that I think you might be looking for. I played one at a GC and it sounded great.

On a different note, Motleyguy, have you read The Dirt? I'm reading it now and its great.

[Panopticon]

if thats what your looking for...go for the sweet ride...without a doubt...

[Motleyguy]

Thanks guys I will definitely check out the sweet ride, and yes I have read the Dirt, multiple times, my copy is falling apart, awesome book!

[Futuro]

Solid bell too. Not much "Ping" to it, but it sounds much prettier then most.

I can't really say how bright or dark it is, but its a crashable ride and it has stick definition from what I rememberIt's pretty dark. And yes crashing it sounds amazing.

[Motleyguy]

That's what I'm looking for, something crashable, fairly washy, but with a good bell (uses the bell, maybe more than he should).

All a paragon is is a darker ping ride for 10$ less
^^A sweet ride

[Caleb_Pickering]

id actually go for the 20in zildjian earth ride. Thats what i have

[The Fiction We Live]

20" Zildjian K Heavy Ride

MmmMmmm... only thing better is my 20" Paiste Signature Reflector Dry Ride.

[MeaninglessPhoto]

I have a sweet ride and the paragon ride among 5 other rides (which I use for different songs) and I would go for the Paragon. It sounds the best.

[DrummerDave96]

Go for the 30 incher!!!!

[Panopticon]

is 30" equal to 21" or 22"?

[White]

these are the rides you will get...its not a suggestion. Its a demand.

20" Zildjian K Heavy Ride

21" Zildjian A Sweet Ride

22" Sabian Paragon Ride

Wow, that was pretty much exactly what I was gonna say.

[Motleyguy]

Thanks for the suggestions, I figure I'll check out the paragon and the A Sweet, K Rides, and other heavy rides don't appeal to me.

[TTTSNB]

Of course, a 20" ride will be brighter than a 21" or 22". Also, smaller rides will tend to have more wash, but less sustain.

[drummerboi91]

i would go for the Zildjian 21" A Sweet Ride if i were you..
