I personally find El Sabor horrible. This coming from a guy who likes everything unusual. Not saying I should know, Or you should follow my advice. But it's prety bad IMO.

Those are all idffernt cymbals you have there. Metal crash and a latin crash..

20 Crash Of Doom-Zildjian
14 A Fast Crash-Zildjian.

[drummerdave]

i would say narrow it down a little first

[al98]

i would say narrow it down a little first

i have tried but i just cant.

and to We_Love_Lime, yep i know its from metal to latin, i like lots of differnt sounds.

[fishbulb]

Paiste 2oo2 full crash is way better than thin.

[JIRONS]

I have an 18" El Sabor. It's the only Sabian I have (rest are Zildjians). I love it. Has an awesome crash sound, and I sometimes use it as a second ride, has a nice washy sound to it.

Best thing you can do tho' is go to the local store and grab 4 or 5 and play them, see what sound you like best.

[al98]

The last time i was in my local store it was i cant remember seeing any of those cymbals, but maybe it was because i wasn't looking for them. Should i ask them to order them in so i can find out which one i like the best.

[fishbulb]

If you can have them order them without making you buy them right away, go for it.

[al98]

hopefully they let me. Now the problem is getting the money i have like £90 so far coz i've been using most for concerts, but my exam things are soon so am going ask for money if i do good! lol

[We_Love_Lime]

i have tried but i just cant.

and to We_Love_Lime, yep i know its from metal to latin, i like lots of differnt sounds.

Me too..

But see I'm torn betwean 4 cymbals.

18 Azuka Timbale cymbal.
15 Azuka Hand and Stick Cymbal.
14 A Fast Crash
and 16 Zht Efx.

I decided not to buy either of them, because I don't know what I WANT or what I NEED.

I'm looking at them mainly on the fact that they sound good. Not that they will fill an empty space in my cymbal sounds.

If you don't do this, you might end up regretting spending 200 dolalrs on some cymbals.

if u havent already listen to the 17 rock 2002 crash greatest crash ever :naughty:

[al98]

The good thing is the most expensive 20" Power Crash is only £149.99. So i'm going to safe up that amount and then see what i like best

[Double Bass Jim]

Im always drawn to big crashes

Out of those id look at the 20" paiste mabey something a tad thinner then "power" though.

[White Riot!]

Hmm I like 16"s but I need bigger crashes

[Against-the-Scene]

20" power crash mmmm.... they sound so nice.

[beaker_747]

Zildjian A: 18" Medium Thin = meat-and-potatoes crash cymbal

[the fat llama]

14" k dark crash but try and get it in 16 or 17 sounds much better (but 14 is also sexulent)

ive played on 14,15,16,17,18 and 19 k dark crashs 17 has to be my favourite

[pitchfork]

Paiste 16" thin, though i would go for 18" thin.

[al98]

Thanks for the help, I'll check out some off the cymbals mentioned
