ok guys.
hh thin chinese 18"
hhx chinese 18"
signature devastation chinese 17"

taking in account price, volume, and trashyness

HHX or Sig easy. What are you lookin for in the china?

[QUOTE=SkacoreDrummer]HHX or Sig [/QUOTE]

my thoughts exactly. The sig will probably be more expensive though.

Not always. 20.5" Chad smith explosion is cheaper than my 19" AAXplosion.

18" AA Thin crash. Opinions?

We have a 16 Zildjian Medium Thin Crash at school.

Sorta like an 18 AA Thin Crash.

Well it sounds like ****e.

Lol....

My knowledge is much appreciated eh?

Im looking for a Crash I can ride in harder type music. Breakdowns, Chaotic parts, but versitalle enough to use as an accent or for lighter music...

dont go for anything heavier than a medium crash. Find a good medium thin with a good sized bell on it. LIke the Sabian AA medium thin crash. Or AAX plosion crash.

I just compiled a list of crashes to try :D

17" A thin
18" A Medium thin
18" A Thin
17" A Custom fast
17" A Custom projection
18" A Custom fast

18" AAX Stage
19" AAX Dark
17" HH Dark
17" HH Medium thin
17" HHX Stage
17" HHXtreme
17" HHXplosion

Corrrr

One of those may well be mine soon.

What happened to Drum Phil?

He was crucified but came back to life to deliver his message of love to the world.

What type of size would give you that better sound, I like the Projection Crash, but what about 18 or 19"?

And stay away from A Zildjians for this?

Those were all ones for me to try but i guess they apply to your needs too. I tend not to like the bigger projection crashes.

Too long of a decay?

[QUOTE=Tim]my thoughts exactly. The sig will probably be more expensive though.[/QUOTE]

i think the sig is cheaper, the hhx is kinda expensive for a china, i cant find the price you guys know it?
im looking for chinese that is trashy but moderate in volume. any other sabian china's you guys would suggest?

18" A Custom Projection crashes are your friend.

[QUOTE=DruMMeR_BoY14]18" A Custom Projection crashes are your friend.[/QUOTE]

I have Zbts that ive began with... I have a crash ride that i hate to ride it crashing because the decay is just too long, so i ride a 16" Crash, too short, i would guess a 17" would do fine, or even an 18" thats actually a crash and not a crash/ride, Ill go check them out anyway, just need a checklist of thiings to check out...

theres more to a cymbal's sound than its size. Crash rides are uslaly horrible things, I'd sugest getting that list that phil posted and going into a store and finding as many models as you can and try them out. Best way of picking a cymbal is to hear it yourself.

Definately try an HHX stage. :D. You havnt lived unless you have.

[quote=flasportsfan88]Too long of a decay?[/quote]

Its not that, i just dont like the tone that much.

Tim, i plan to try the HHX :D Hence why its on the list. Tried the A Thin today and its pretty awesome, think i want something bright like an AAX or A Custom though

OK heres my deal. I have the Avedis box set now, consisting of a 14 inch fash crash, 16 inch medium thin crash, 20 inch medium ride, and my lovely 14 inch new beat hats. I want to start adding on, but I dont know what to start with. I was thinking of 3 options.

A 17 or 18 inch crash- I would want it bright, and want it to open quickly, and not go on forever.

An 8 inch splash, bright and quick

Or an 18 inch china- trashy, quick, but also good ride sounds.


Which one would you get, and what cymbal matches it best??

THANKS!!:chug:

I rather like the 20" A china high.

17" A custom projection crash

Go with another crash I'd say. If you like Avedis, try an 18" Medium thin crash, or you could go for an A Custom crash or projection crash, I'd say either one get the 18" model, when your playing with a band you wont need to worry about them ringing forever, the other intruments will cut out the overtones.

Very true, I was thinking K custom fast crash, again 18 inch, good idea?

Yes it is. 18" HHX power crash might be to your taste as well.

[QUOTE=SkacoreDrummer]Yes it is. 18" HHX power crash might be to your taste as well.[/QUOTE]

I like it but not that much, its pretty dark and deep sounding.

The K custom fast crash sounds great on zildjians site, anyone know how accurate that is?

Pretty. I have the 16" fast crash and its amazing. The soundclips not bad like.

yeah but soundclips arent really very helpful, they make 101's sound like the god of all turkish cymbals

20" A custom medium rides are beautiful, and real versatile

I think Zildjian EQ's their clips quite a bit, so I'd only use it a guide. See if you can find one in a store, its best to hear them in person.

I'm sure Drum Phil could give you a good description of one, I think he has a 16" model
