*** The Cymbal Finder ***

Clean Thread.

Basically, you describe the sound your looking for, and the other members will try their best to find a cymbal to match.

example:

Q:I want a crash that will stand up to live, unmiced metal, but not sound dead or unmusical.

A:AAX Metal Crash

Jim, if you could sticky this, and close the old one please?

Massik Kretal · 12-23-2004, 09:39 PM

EDIT- First post!

look into Paiste Innovations and Sabian XS20. unfortunatly, dark and affordable dont often mix. as the pitch goes down, the price usually goes up.

What's a more versatile, controllable ride, 21" A Rock, or 22" A Ping? It needs to be useful in a variety of settings, but be strong enough to be heard over 2 guitars and a bass in a live setting.

Reaganista · 12-23-2004, 10:19 PM

21" Rock is more versatile. Neither of those will have volume issues.

bobby__johnny · 12-23-2004, 10:21 PM

the Rock wont be all stick definition. you'll have a bit of audible wash.

poppinfresh · 12-24-2004, 12:27 AM

i need something bright and pingy with a nice sounding bell. Kind of between aa metal x and stagg myra. Not too washy. but versatile enough to be used in most styles.

groomits · 12-24-2004, 08:19 AM

^^ AAX dry ride?

and soon bobby will able to tell you how good it is

drummerdude9574 · 12-24-2004, 07:18 PM

im hearin about a 21" a Sweet ride? any good?

playwithfire · 12-24-2004, 07:21 PM

It doesn't live up to it's reputation, but it's a decent ride. It's crashable, washy, and has a nice bell.

drummerdude9574 · 12-24-2004, 08:36 PM

i play mostly rock and medal, some jazz, think that would be a good ride for me?

I love the sound of the sweet ride but its just way too much wash for what i need to use it for.

Massik Kretal · 12-24-2004, 10:14 PM

Not in metal. It would fit in Jazz though, and some Rock, doesn't have the same ping sound most rock drummers love though.

It's one of the nicest ride i've ever heard in my life. It has a lot of "give" for a ride cymbal. Nice sounding crash. People said that the wash can overcome the ping sound, but that really depends on what stick you're using. I use Vinnie Colaiuta sticks and i can hear the ping nice and clear.

Hey there, I think 20" A Ping Ride would be more versatile than those 2 rides u mentioned above. Even though it's 20", it's till loud & can be heard in loud situations.

Also, just curious, r u mic'ing your kit live?
