[QUOTE=HeLLmO;13345149]and if i remember correctly the AAX stage ride has a fairly small bell[/QUOTE]

indeed it is quite small. good amounts of wash to it. not my taste though.

heh, you think THAT has a small bell?

when i go home next weekend, i'll take a shot of the bell on my AAX Dry Ride....THAT is a small bell

My bell is small.

^^ poor lime, ok, anyone dealt with the A custom top/Z dyno beat bottom hi hats, would you suggest those over A custom hats? Or the other way around?

I havn't , but I'm thinking the a/z would be a bit louder, more chick.

I need more chic, I'm playing some jazz stuffs

Im lookin for the heaviest 10" splash any of you can find me.

Im assuming it'd be a meinl MB20 but im open to suggestions from any company. Failing that i'll get one custom hammered.

Meinl MB20. That's it.

The AA Tight Ride has a pretty damn small bell.

The K Custom flat ride has a tiny bell.

harrharr.


im looking for a cymbal to get soon. not sure what yet. im thinking maybe an 18inch crash. THats pretty much what im leaning towards actually but im not sure what to get. I have:

18inch AAXplosioncrash
16inch AAXstage crash
18inch AA chinese
14inch AAX stage hats
12inch wuhan splashes used as hihats
21inch AA raw bell dry ride.


any suggestions on a crash taht would go with these? im thinking just to get another AAX stage in an 18inch or beef it up to like an hhxplosion or something.

maybe an 18'' AAX dark crash? i'm gonna get one of those to replace my AA Metal X eventually.

or maybe a vault?

18" K Custom Dark Crash.

18" AAX Stage Crash.

Ok well I'm looking for a third crash. I've got a 17" AAX Studio Crash and a AA 18" Thin Crash. 16" or 19" is what I'm looking for a think. Price range isn't exacly a factor, as long as it's not like 350 USD.

19" AAX Studio Crash maybe?

Maybe an 18" Ozone Crash for abit of trashiness.

Tim, 18" Vault?

Sabian, 19" AAXplosion?

Wuhan Splashes????

19" HHX Stage Crash? Would provide a nice darker contrast to the studio and thin.

A bigger AAX Stage Crash, or an AA Medium-thin Crash would do nicely

but then again, theres always room to experiemtn with your setup.

give an HHXtreme Crash a shot. bit of trash, nice smooth sound, all sexy :thumb:

i had an AA medium thin crash in an 18inch a while back but i sold it to a friend. It sounded exactly like my AAXplosion. buuut i think ill give a look at the HHXtreme. also considering the aaxplosion in 19. maybe even the vault too. next time i go down to the shop im gonna try them out. thanks for the suggestions.

was that the one you reviewed?

Alright, I'm gonna add on a smaller crash pretty soon. I'm thinking a 16 incher.

My cymbals are:
HHX groove ride
14'' New Beats
18'' Istanbul Tra Med-Thin

I'm looking for something quick and fairly airy, that will cut but isn't obnoxiously clangy or bright. Handmade is preferable, but I'd also go for something by the big 3.

I'd go for a 16" Ufip Class-Series Medium-Thin Crash

16" K Custom fast crash?

16 CIE Vintage?

Yes.

Hi.

I'm looking for some loudish hi-hats that sound perfect for reggae and ska, and are quite beefy and heavy and dark. Guidance would be much appreciated, if any one gets what I mean.

quick beats maybe? K custom mastersounds posibly?

New Beats
Or 15 K's

14 New Beats I would think though.

Something that Sly or Calrton would play.

yeah. it was a great crash but when played with other instruments they just sounded exactly alike. im goign for different sounding crashes but in 18's. i sold it to a friend who really needed it.

I'm looking for a loud, heavy splash. Im looking preferably into Zildjian since its the only brand with all of the series in my local shop.

Loud... Heavy.
I would say a 14 Z Custom Splash but than people would yell at me.

12" Meinl MB20 splash
10" Paiste rude splash

How bright are the meinl classic cymbals, and how long do they ring out? Im orsering some off line, no shops close to here.
