20'' or 22'?

[Berk]

I was a L&M today and I was trying some of there cymbals and I tried a 20'' K dark Ride and then a 22'' HHX Manhattan ride and It was overly HUGE. But I was wondering if there is a need for 22' of metal?

[Murd_666]

Neither imo, but if I had to, hmmm, I would go with the 20" K dark ride.

[santi3hg]

id use the 22 as a killing weapon, throwing it around slicing peoples throats with it...id think thats cool.

[Berk]

Like a midevil worrior!

[Drum Monkey]

Different people like different sounds. Neil Peart's signature ride is 22"... There are people who use 24" rides. It's all about the sound!

[Double Bass Jim]

22"

[Sagmyr]

i prefer 22" more stick definition and less audible wash is what I like :)

[styler]

i love 22"

i feel they have more tones, and usually more wash.

[santi3hg]

Like a midevil worrior!

yes!

[spirit]

Don't see what's so big about a 22" myself. And is there a need? That's possibly one of the strangest questions I've ever heard. I don't really know how to answer that. Certainly a different sized version will produce a different sound, thereby increasing your options.

[playwithfire]

I use a 22" A Ping ride. It gives you a deeper tone, a drier wash, and more articulation... I don't see how it sounds overly huge. Play with some stack amps... you'll see.

[Half Life]

I use a 22" A Ping ride

As do I, and it's one of the most amazing rides I have heard. 22" rides are great. After you use it for some time and get it broken in, like all cymbals, those big rides can sound unbelievable.

[Seafroggys]

my ultimate ride is a 22" A Ping, or maybe a 22" K Heavy

[Panopticon]

For rides...the best ones are these...(IMO)

20" Zildjian K Heavy Ride
21" Zildjian A Sweet Ride
22" Sabian Paragon Ride

All great rides, just choose a size and you got one...

[TTTSNB]

No, 22 is not big, I prefer the larger sizes myself.

20" Zildjian K Heavy Ride
21" Zildjian A Sweet Ride
22" Sabian Paragon Ride

indeed those rides are awesome. Same with the 21 raw bell dry ride, the AA version of course. I like it better than the HH.

[mysticalyeti]

20 inch or 22 foot?!

20" Zildjian K Heavy Ride
21" Zildjian A Sweet Ride

Try the HH 20" Jazz Ride, its very sexy indeed.

[ilikenoise]

Ive got a 21". But seeign as they're not as available, I'd say 22".

[playwithfire]

I plan on picking up a 21" A Sweet, and then probably a dark 22" later. The Sweets are just so crashable and versatile. I find that on average I dislike 20" rides a lot more than 21" or 22".

[ThugsRook]

20" or 22" ?
for me, my options are 22" or 24" ;)

( get the 22" )

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

Nah he shud get a 24" lol

[ThugsRook]

Nah he shud get a 24" lol
24s are awesome :thumb:

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

Yeah i got the HH 20" Jazz Ride tho. nicest ride i could find IMO

[jalel]

When I read the thread title, I thought this was going to be about bass drum sizes :lol:

[fredd]

I saw a pic of a 30" ride once :)

[Sagmyr]

djiises :o
Imagine carrying around with that on gigs :/

[Tillmon]

22 inches is not that big... I prefer 22" over 20", in fact.

[Pleaseme]

Hmm, no one's said it yet..

21" Raw Bell Dry ride! Classy as, just the right amount of everything.

[playwithfire]

I'm not a fan of those rides to tell you the truth.

[Metaldrummer616]

i saw a 35 inch ride at forks drum closet once. it was 550 dollars!

[rockindrummer]

I like both but for different styles of music. It is really all just personal preference.

[playwithfire]

i saw a 35 inch ride at forks drum closet once. it was 550 dollars!Then imagine a 35" Paiste Signatures, a 21" alone is $450.00...

[Sabian4015]

Are you from Nashville?

Anyways, I think you should get a 27.5 inch ride ( I've seen it before ). Nah, get a 20" K Heavy Ride. I love mine! 22"s are good too, that'll be my next ride, but I like 20" better.

[Icky_Mettle]

pretty much the only ride on soundcheck that sounds downright incredible.

[playwithfire]

Not to mention different in person! *gasp!* *shock* :amaze:! Although, of course, the same goes for all of them...

[Metaldrummer616]

no im not from nashville, im from clarksville, right above Nashville. i live like 40 minutes from fork's. :)
