Hey guys, I'm selling my Peace Paragon Series II 9 Ply 100% Maple Snare Drum and a B8 top hat and Pro Sonix Bottom hat, already posted a thread about this but figured I'd check once more so reply if anyone is interested, last chance before I put them on eBay.

With the proceeds from selling my stuff I hope to purchase a new cymbal. So I was wondering which to prioretise, I am told that my hats sound very good (Pro sonix top over B8 Bottom) So I don't know if i should start there or bypass and go onto the ride or a crash. My hats to me sound nice, but I'm looking for something a little more lively. I have been looking at AAX Fusions from Sabian and also have played (on my teachers kit) a pairing of 2oo2 Heavy top with a sound edge bottom which were tEh sEx. Crash-wise, I'm playing a B8 16" which isn't very nice, I am interested in Paiste Signatures, Zildjian As and A customs and Sabian AAX. This is just from sound clips etc. For a ride I dont know much, I have heard a soundclip of a 20" HHX Evo and loved it, any suggestions?

So Basically, I want some reccomendations for what to buy next, I will probably only have <£120 to spend and I want either: A Pro set of hats, Pro Crash or Pro Ride. I need to know which of the 3 I should get and then from that, what I should look into.

Thanks guys, Remember about the snare and hats I'm selling guys



Thanks, Pete

£30 shipping might be to much for you though

I alternate Istanbul Agop Traditional and Sultan Hand Hammered series for general playing and Alchemy sweet and regular for rock with my Peace Paragon kit. A really good alternative is the B20 pro ART Alchemy series too. Good bang for the buck! The Alchemy sweet hats in 13 or 14 are delicious!

Thanks for the suggestions, anyone know where I can try out a wide range of different cymbal brands in the birmingham area of england?

Nobody has answered on the snare, So I'm going to list it on eBay tonight.
