[QUOTE=yama_stage_advantage]do you have any experience with the ride?[/QUOTE]
sorry double post:smash:

now triple:p

I have the AA raw bell dry ride. which is a medium heavy. different i know but i love it. For the most part AA cymbals are great. only thing i dont like are the rock crashes.

Can someone tell me what's Zildjian equivalent to some aax stage hats.

Mastersounds maybe?

[QUOTE=Cocaberry]Mastersounds maybe?[/QUOTE]

Newbeats then?

Yep, I'd sat NewBeats too.

Just buy the Stage Hats. They're awesome hats, I have a pair myself. Very versatile.

Hi, looking for a ride, 19" to 22" max, good stick def, not very washy, nice cutting bell, powerful aswell as versatile.

Thanks

22" AA or HH rock ride

[QUOTE=Cocaberry]Newbeats then?[/QUOTE]

no...

simple questions...but ive heard wuhans are really good cheap cymbals. is this try cause i just want to pick up another crash, or a splash.i may get the rock and splash pack, i know there really crappy but thats what i would like. Also do they make wuhan rides, cause ive never seen them before.

what is a good ride that would sound good in a live setting for a 3 piece(drums,bass,guitar/vocals) rock/folk rock band?

thanks in advance for any suggestions

It depends on if you want a crashable ride and what sound you want.

IMO I would go for a Medium Ride for crashibility or a Ping Ride for noncrashability but great stick definition.

I have a heavier ride (22" A Medium) and I'm looking for a lighter one, with less presence but still some good stick definition. Something that could be used in some more jazzy or latin settings. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

20" Medium?

Go for a 20" Medium like Seafroggys said.

Sweet ride maybe.

Thanks! I'll probably run into the store tomorrow and try those and a couple other out.

i think my question got skipped over so ill just restate.

Are wuhans any good? ive heard there good for there cheap price. also will they last for a long while??

They're good.

But since they're cheap, I've heard somepeople saying they won't last long.
They'd be good If You know your going to replace them within time.

Ive found the bigger Wuhans to last longer. But ive also had my 12" for almost a year now. My 24" could probably survive an explosion and could protect me from nuclear winter. I love the chinas and the splashes. Theyre good if you want cheap trashyness.

I'm finally going to convert my older drum set into a jazz kit. The only thing I really need is cymbals. I want to get a ride, hats, and 2 crashes (preferably one around 14" and one 18"). I want a nice washy sound.

Can anyone recommend some cymbals with those preferences? Maybe even a website that sells them cheap-ish?

Thanks

Well for the site, try [url]http://www.massmusic.net[/url]. Andy is a really cool guy and helps out a lot. For a crash, I would get a 18" K Custom Dark Crash. Not sure about the others.

Opinions on 20" K Ride and 14" Paragon Hats?

Thank you.

CIE Vintages would suit you well.


14 hats.
16 Crash.
18 Crash.
20 Ride, although those go on the bit of the ...expensive side.

Might I suggest some HHX Manhattans as well ( Knows nothing about Sabian ).

Or try an Armand Zildjian 19 Beautiful Baby, some quickbeats, and thin and medium thin crashes.

You can take the recomendations that George said too, and you can go to Zildjian.com and check them out at their "sound lab".

Sabian has the same thing with Manhattans.

If your a jazz drummer....you might want to look into a sizzle ride. Alot of jazz drummers have more rides than crashes. You could get a light crispy ride and then a sizzle ride and have a large(r) crash to accompany that of the K series or Manhattan Sabians.

Anyone have a clue where I could find a really big (24"- 27") wuhan and try it out? I've been wanting to get one forever, but I've never been able to find them.

dont know about the trying out part but last time i checked musicians friend had a 24 i beleive.

The only shop around here that sells Wuhans sells them in up to a 27"

You could always ask a shop to order one in for you to try out, couldn't you?

you have to pay for it for them to order it.

[QUOTE=Tim]you have to pay for it for them to order it.[/QUOTE]
Not around here you don't.

If you decide you don't like it when they get it in, they just put it out on display, for someone else to buy.

i dont have any money right now, but when i do, think i need better hi-hats. right now im using zbt bottoms, and planet Z tops. the two lowest types i could have. What are some good hi-hats, for around $100-200 (USA). i dont know much about what makes good hi-hats. I normally play punk or rock. when i play ride i do use alot of (dont know tech name of it) clicking on the hats, so anything with alot of that would be great.

Hmm

Maybe some like 14/15 New Beats ( Although those might be out of your price range ).

Do you mean operating the high hats with your feet? You'll get more sound out of a larger high hat (and heavier) I would assume.

New Beats seem to be what your after.

Or maybe even the K/Z Dyno Beats or whatever.

^^^ what he said!

I just counted my money and I have $850 to spend. I liked all of your suggestions for jazz cymbals, but I think some of them may be too pricey.

In my area, there aren't any drumming stores that are mainly cymbals, so I have to look online. So, I've been looking for awhile and found a website called cymbalsonly.com. They have a great selection. Well, I'm currently looking at Istambul Mehmet Sultan series, does annyone think these cymbals would be a good choice? I love the sound clips, and they're in my price range, but I can't really try before I buy.

I don't have a lot of money to spend and i really need new cymbals. Right now I'm trying to decide between a set of Meinl MCS's or Zildjian ZBT 4's. Which should I get? or is there any better cymbals in that price range?

btw first post

i would suggest to you to not get overanxious to get a bunch of cymbals, and then end up buying crap, buy yourself a nice pro level hi hats and ride, look into new beats, very versatile, and a medium ride or some sort, those are also very versatile, although look into the pro level lines of all the companies an dpick the ones you like best
