^well, meinl classic crashes are okay, if u get big ones i.e 18''+ but i would definatly go AA or maybe meinl raker over classics and sonix

Bullet for My Valentine 02-14-2006 02:24 PM

oh right thanks.. these are intermediate cymbals i take it?
i may get a mixture of the meinl rakers and the the AAs as i played some AAs at a local music shop and they sounded hot! thanks!

HeLLmO 02-14-2006 02:28 PM

yea AA's and up from sabian are just ungodly amazing, and i belive rakers are meinl's cymbals that are made to be bashed hard, or maybe that is MB20, or it could be both, but rakers are pretty good

Bullet for My Valentine 02-14-2006 02:29 PM

thanks alot dude

chewaz 02-14-2006 02:48 PM

HeLLmO 02-14-2006 04:36 PM

[QUOTE=Bullet for My Valentine]thanks alot dude[/QUOTE]

Seafroggys 02-15-2006 12:57 AM

I am a beginning drummer. I recently started playing with a band and am looking to add-on to my current cymbal setup.
I have Zildijan ZBT 20" ride, 18" & 16" crash, & 14" High-hats.
I play mostly Rock & Country.
I am looking a getting a splash, china, & fast crash. Any suggestions.
I don't have much to spend...I was looking at Wuhan for the splash & china.

Hit me with it....

Chester 02-15-2006 08:14 PM

well, id replace all your cymblas first

not to poke fun, but a kit with more than 3 or 4 zbt's is just ugly and a waste of money

go big.

seeing how you play both rock and country you might want to look into something from the K series for crashes from zildjian. From sabian, look into something like the Hand Hammered series or HHX. You will probably for crashes want something like medium or medium thin in size as it will be more versatile.

Chester 02-15-2006 08:23 PM

yea, you would want to get versatile cymbals, Ks and HHs would be good, but As and AAs wouldnt be bad either, u kinda have a lotta options for that genre

HeLLmO 02-15-2006 08:27 PM

i think Meinl Byzance may work for that guy too, those are sick cymbals

Im looking for a set/pack of cymbals that are decent sounding, I play rock/indie music with my band and I found these on ebay: [URL="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SABIAN-B8-cymbal-set-free-cymbals-free-cymbal-bag_W0QQitemZ7390859475QQcategoryZ38097QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]Click Here[/URL]
The kit I have came with one cymbal which I really don't like the sound of and a crap pair of Hi-Hats which sound terrible. Would this pack be any good as I need cymbals urgently, especially Ride and Hi-Hats.

Thanks in advance.

Very good splashes. Excellent for the price.

LostRythym 02-17-2006 06:48 AM

Okay...erm...i need to get rid of my 302 and i have been thinking about a 16" AAX Stage Crash. Im not too sure about it though,so i need help from you guys. I want a sort of bright shimerring(sp?) crash, that is forceful and something versatile, but can be used in rock too.(music like The Darkness,Iron Maiden,RHCP,Van Halen) Thanks.

HeLLmO 02-17-2006 01:33 PM

^AAX stage would probably be good, look into sabian Vault too

Drum Phil 02-17-2006 02:11 PM

AAXplosion or vault

spirit 02-17-2006 02:23 PM

A Custom, Vault, AA, AAX, Maybe A.

Tim 02-17-2006 04:37 PM

[QUOTE=Drum Phil]AAXplosion[/QUOTE]

chewaz 02-17-2006 11:56 PM
