What do you guys think about the AA Metal X Ride???? is it worth 140CAN?? Thanks

it's decent if you're doin' just metal, but the constant pingyness gets a bit annoying IMO

Sean I had the HH as you probably know, and it's easily my second ride.

It'd be cheaper for you to buy a cast-iron frying pan

that made me laugh.

True dat, for sure. I'm not a fan of the AA Metal-x. Although something I have noticed, and this goes for Z customs too, is that the rides are defientely the most tolerable for me.

[QUOTE=HeLLmO;13933051]yea, my friend Air [/QUOTE]
Air, WTF?!

Okay, i need the best cymbals for playing both latin and metal but not TOO expensive

For sure.

Zildjian As Medium-Thins.

what's your guys' opinion on the 6.5" zil bell? I want a seperate bell that's high pitched, loud, but [B]not[/B] too loud as so to pierce your ears. My sweet ride's bell just doesn't cut it...

Should be about perfect.

Its high pitched and cutting enough to be heard.

Mucho thanks drum phil:)

It's only 6", just to let you know in case that changes your mind at all...

UFiPs Ice-bell's are where it's at. Complete glassiness.

ok how heavy are medium crashes? are they hard to move? i was thinkin of gettin either a medium crashes or aa medium crashes. which are better?

I'd go with an A Custom Crash, they are a pretty good weight for anyone.

I have an 18" AA Medium Crash and it kicks ultimate ***, my favorite crash on my lineup.

what other cymbals do you have? oh adn you really didnt answer any of my questions yet :-|

I have 20" Medium Crash and it takes abit to get going. Probably more of a ride weight tbh. 18" and under mediums are great weight for rock and heavy music.

[QUOTE=Jeff;13956312]what other cymbals do you have? oh adn you really didnt answer any of my questions yet :-|[/QUOTE]

my other crash is an 18" 2002 Crash, and I did have a 14" Agop crash but I sold that.

If you are used to playing on thins like me when I bought this cymbal, it'll seem heavy at first, but you'll get used to it.

[QUOTE=Aaron;13956412]I have 20" Medium Crash [B]and it takes abit to get going.[/B][/QUOTE]

Uh, yeah... when you hit like pansy.

[QUOTE=Aaron;13957954]Sorry, I don't play with aheads and 6' high crashes like you Coca.[/QUOTE]

LOL what a blind assumption. I [I]don't[/I] play with Aheads and my crashes [I]aren't[/I] 6' high. You're an idiot.

To really open up a 20" medium crash you need to do something called a [B]fullstroke[/B]. Take the time and learn it someday.

Remember, "[B]fullstroke[/B]."

do you know where I can get sound clips? I don't think that I have any shops around me that sells UFiP items.


**EDIT: whooo 900 posts!

Woot woot i got the 5000th reply!

[quote=Cocaberry;13957982]Remember, "[B]fullstroke[/B]."[/quote]

Did you learn that when them dudes made you their bitch?

"Rape him with nice full strokes boys"

coco is right though...

I agree with aaron. They take more to get going and i dislike that sound personally.

I like thinner cymbals where i can quickly flick them for an accent.

Full strokes have their down points.

they do phil? plz explain.
