Hey all, I am looking for a pair of hats used for funk and rock. What would be the best? A custom hihats? New beats?

AAX Stage would be good, Zildjian Quick beats would work(they OWN new beats), AAX Fusion might be good, Istanbul Trad Funk hats would definatly work for funk

yes! i love those quick beats.
You gave pretty much all the suggestions i was going to give, look into those.

Yep.

Those Sizzle Hats are pretty tight as well.

i'm looking into getting a Sabian 21" AA Rock Ride. I play rock and punk and I really liked the sound of it when I tried it out. Any thoughts?

This is lame, the HHX groove hats are 360 ****in dollars.

Anyone know any hats like them with a smaller price tag?

Im looking for a china with a lot of sizzle in it. Ive looked at Zildjian Swish and Swish knockers but I dont like the price tags. I dont care what brand name it is.

Buybuybuybuybuybuybuy.

I played one of those at guitar center a few days back, it sounds amazing. It was versatile, as I was playing on a 9 piece DW with the most percussion I've ever seen in my life, and it sounded great with everything.

Definitely go for it man.

Hey Chester what town do you live in?

excellent ride. if u want an idea of how it sounds u can check out the RHCP live in hyde park CD, because i believe chad used it on that tour

Ok I have a 16" AAXplosion crash. I dunno whether to get an 18" or a 19" Xplosion to go with it! Any ideas/suggestions?

doesn't really matter, 18'' will probably be more versitile, i would just get both

God those crashes are amazing!

Edit: I have a 16" and an 18" and they compliment each other very well.

Try out some Istanbulies?

Or...Wuhan with Rivits.

im not good with describing cymbals, but im looking for a pair of hats. I want them to be a distinct hi pitched tick when tapping them closed. Not a lose sloshy deep sound like you get with cheaper hats. Hi pitched resonation sound when opened. and a quit sounding click when pressing the pedal. Overall high pitched and very smooth sounding. between 200-400 dollars is my limit. thanks to any help i recieve

i think we should have a union of all MX ppl from massahusetts, then we should all go on strike, on strike of what? i do not know, but we should

yes! a riot in the streets... for no reason.

and just think, the worst that could happen is get arrested, but wed prolly make front page on the paper.

i can see it now

"Local Drummers Arrested for Sit In at Guitar Center"

woot, i say we make a club or sumthin

(look at the headline)

like i could be president or sumthin,and we could have comittees... or just do nothing and pretend were in a club.

i like it, i'll definatly join

YES! this is the first time we have disrupted the flow of something...
this thread!


to put it back in track, iv always been curious, what do you guys think are the best cowbells, il eventually get one or a few, but i dunno, or should i just hit whatever i can, and choose what i like the best.

Lp Salsa Cow Bells?

Plan B has them. Or something.

Black Beautys. Ridge(?) Riders ( the one with the plastic thing ).

I'm so in the club.

Okay, so I got the 14" Stage Hats, and I'm returning them.

14" Vault Vs. 13" K Vs. 13"/14" Quick Beats.

Gogogogogogogo.

umm....damn.....uhh......well......get the vaults and the quick beats.....then give me the quick beats.

seriously though, play all 3 and buy which ever you like, because they are all great hats

if i had to have 2 of the 3, it would be the 18 and the 19...but i like my crashes to have the same relative decay :(

Every week is New Beats week. I have a pair of them myself.

I don't like New Beats, myself, every pair I've tried just hasn't appealed to me.

Those Signature SoundEdges though, now that's a whole different story. I'd kill for a pair of those.

[QUOTE=HeLLmO]AA Regulars, maybe AAX Stage, Quick Beats[/QUOTE]

I have Reg. AA over Rock AA and it sounds good, so I would guess regulars would sound good, never heard the others in real life.

[QUOTE=lmldrummer]I have Reg. AA over Rock AA and it sounds good, so I would guess regulars would sound good, never heard the others in real life.[/QUOTE]

they're pretty good, the 15'' version of reg. AAs are by far the best

What are people thoughts on Paiste's [B]Dark Energy Ride Mark I[/B] rides?

I ask as im still after a ride, and love the sound of Abe Laboriel Jr (Paul McCartney's drummer) ride. So at the moment, it is between a 22''Dark Energy Ride Mark I and a 22" K ride.

I play 'poppy' type music, and need a crashable ride, that is dark sounding, with washy and ping.

Yeah, those are [B]god[/B]. They're [i]really[/i] expensive though.

Im more into the MKII's tbh

Yeah, the dark energy rides own!

EDIT: W00t, post 4000 in this thread!

[QUOTE=Drum Phil]Im more into the MKII's tbh[/QUOTE]
Na, i didnt like the sound clip as much.

The only downside I can see is are they really worth nealy £100 more then the K Rides. Which is leaning me more towards a K.

paiste soundedges (2002 and signature) for wich styles would you use them?

[QUOTE=Chris]Na, i didnt like the sound clip as much.

They may cost £100 more, but that's because they're about £100 better than a K ride.
I'm planning on eventually getting either a 22" Signature Dry Heavy (custom order) or a 22" Dark Energy Mark II ride for my primary ride, and moving the sweet ride to an aux position.
Those rides are just so damn awesome.
