Good. gg.

[QUOTE=enemytopublic2;13793741]they are great cymbals for the price but you can get better[/QUOTE]

Surely I could get better ones but what about in that price range and suited for pop music? 300-400 euros, not more.

(Ive found a XS20 set which includes crash 16, crash 18, ride 20 and hihat 14 for 350 euros, its somewhat a bargain!).

Please could someone tell me the meinl comparisons to the sabian lines?

Im gona be buying a splash soon and meinl have 40% off instore so im going for a meinl probably, and id just like to know not what to buy!

Cheers in advance!

So i wish to go for one of the following:

18" Paiste Rude thin crash
18" Z Custom China
18" A Custom crash
19" AAXtreme China

Cast votes now.

The rude.

but get the Crash/ride instead. it's amazing i have the 17"

I'd like to these too.

No.

I dislike heavy cymbals.

Fair enough. still go for the rude. they are good cymbals

Any thoughts on what cymbals are the most complex?

Also I heard that some drummers back in the day used to bury their cymbals for a week or two when they bought them new, to age them? How does it affect the sound?

I think K hybrids are the most complex. When you hit them there bright and loud, then the overtones are dark. ITs an amaizing cymbal

And I dont know about burying cymbals. Id try it but its snowing and I dont have a coat :/

Burying cymbals would only make a difference if you buried them for at least 6 months, at the very least.
In short, it's not worth it.

That's just like when drummers take sand paper to brand new coated heads, it'll make it sound a little more aged, but definately not as much as playing them to get them aged

this

[QUOTE=Aaron;13799457]this[/QUOTE]

i second this.










in all seriousness that thing is awesome. I believe Jojo uses it as well.

[QUOTE=Inkstar;13795372]I don't know what he's saying, but I'd recommend New Beats or Mastersounds.[/QUOTE]

i'm sayin' regular A Custom hats own the A Custom mastersounds


but in all seriousness, quick beats own mostly every other set of hi hats in the zildjian cymbal collection IMO

Ok, so I need to buy a new crash, and I'm going for a darker one that would be used to ride occasionaly (a la Kyuss). I'm looking at a 17" K Custom Dark Crash. Good choice?

OOOOO, nice cymbal man! Those things are sooo nice

Yep, K Dark Crash's are fantastic.

[QUOTE=Snarz;13798537]I'd like to these too.[/QUOTE]

...

Has anyone heard the new Meinl MCS series. They currently only have 3 cymbals in that series. Which can only be obtained in there box set.
I have been offered a Meinl MCS 20'' ride for £60 from one of my e-bay sellers. He recently sold me a Meinl Classic 18'' China. He said he is getting new cymbals for christmas and will no longer need it. Apparantly he has not used it as he has a Meinl Classic Flat ride 20'' also. In which is not for sale.

I have listened the the Meinl MCS 20'' Ride on the Meinl website. It sounds pingy with medium sustain. It sound quite heavy also. But they don't always sound as they do on the website. I know its made from B8 alloy also.

Any thoughts or opinions on this will be much appreciated.


This is the description of the MCS series box.

The new MCS CYMBAL SET-UP contains a 14" medium hihat, a 16" medium crash and a 20" medium ride. All specially harmonically matched for the most musical sound. Ready to rock right out of the box.

[QUOTE=Inkstar;13803121]Yep, K Dark Crash's are fantastic.[/QUOTE]
Good to ride on?

I thought MCS were brass.

I know they're beginner cymbals though, i wouldnt bother.

[QUOTE=Drum Phil;13809871]I thought MCS were brass.

Definatly B8 alloy but as they are beginner cymbals they are probably poor sound quality.

i find it funny how Zildjian is a walking K hybrid billboard.. lol

im definately looking into a k hybrid crash after all this publicity hes given it.

Just ordered an 18" HH Medium crash. Pwn.

Yuck.

Yum.

Hey up guys, I'm looking for a new ride cymbal, I'm currently coping with a Pearl 20" ride, which is awful.

I'm looking for an all rounder I guess, but I definately play more rock than anything else, and some metal too. I was looking at the K Custom Hybrid Ride, it sounds awesome (as far as I can tell from the Zildjian website), but would it be powerful/cutting enough for hard rock music? If not, can you recommend me something different?

Cheers guys.

the K Custom Hybrid is everything and nothing, the alpha and the omega. black and white. yin and yang. chocolate and peanut butter.

Lemon and LIME.

You rang?

Maybe. You woke up?

Mine sure doesn't taste like either chocolate or peanut butter.

Lol, thanks for all the helpful replies guys

[QUOTE=FL3P;13833220]Mine sure doesn't taste like either chocolate or peanut butter.[/QUOTE]

i haven't gotten mine yet, so i can't comment on that

Just trust me, don't eat them.

Unfortunately.

Also check out some of the A lines, such as the Medium and Ping Rides.

Hey guys...How are the paiste 201 crashes???? I just need some decent cymbals for my practice kit.
