a possible cymbal setup
 

After much deliberation, I have come to a possible conclusion in replacing my cymbals. Based on what I have read here and in other forums, observed in music stores and internet sound clips, I have made the following selections:

16" and 18" Sabian aaxplosion crashes
20" Paiste Signature Dry Heavy Ride
14" Zildjian Z custom Dyno beat hats

I imagine the ride and the crashes will work quite well together, but, I am not sure of how the hats will work into this arrangement. I'm not even sure of Dyno beats...my only experience with them are the samples on the zildjian website. Does anyone have any commentary on the above cymbals, and perhaps a hi hat suggestion? And, since I may have money left over, splashes?

hmmm....Ride is a brilliant choice, thinking of getting something in the sig line myself...I'm not a fan of aax really, but if you like them that's cool also. I suggest trying out 2002 sound edges.

The Dyno Beats weren't bad really.

Maybe a K/Z Hybrid Whatever TF it is will suit you better.

Sigs are the sexiest cymbals ever... I now got a 16" sig full crash and its amaizing ( got it yesterday and i know its perfect in every way)

What a waste

Should I get a 10" or 8" splash?

Eightuh.

Depends on what you want to do with it.

I'm looking for some good hi hats. Right now I have pro sonix, and I really don't like them at all. They're too loud, bright, heavy, and clangy. So I'm looking for something maybe the opposite of them.

Thanks.

15" K. The exact opposite. For what you're trying to play, maybe 13" K/Z? I love mine.

Any of you know what china this is:

All i can work out is that it is a 17 K, but not sure what type. And i ask as im after a china (I play a small set up like Brian), and i like the sound of that one live. So im trying to work out what it is to try one out.

K Custom Hybrid

However its 19" cause they only make them in 19"

Cheers, i thought it was a dark china:rolleyes:

But i guess i should of looked at the bell (I know little about Zildjian).

Are they any good? And musical sounding?

Its also 19" not 17 ;)

[QUOTE=Drum Phil]Its also 19" not 17 ;)[/QUOTE]

Lol, that was a shoot in the dark, going by sound clips off the zidjian site.

You know how much they go for, and if they are easy to get hold of?

£176 from newcastle drum centre.

I enquired about the 19" Hybrid crash a while ago. They're the same price as K Customs

Newcastle is the other end of the country to me. But at least they arent that much.

The sound clip is 100% the sound im after as well.

Stagg
 

Could someone give me some info on stagg drumkits? Cant find anything about them on the net... there's a used one for sale wherei live for about $650 or Eu550. Any ideas?

Im looking at some new hihats in the sabian range. I want a nice chick sound when closed and nice sloshy sound semi open. I play rock mainly.

New Beats

....oh you said Sabian?

Well then....

yeah, New Beats

fusions.

What fusions? AA or AAX?

either. i think. i got the aax's. its an aax over an hh with sound holes. the hh is really heavy and raw, and it has an amazing chick and some pretty good sloshy

Awesome cymbals.

I agree.

To be precise, they are awesome cymbals.

what would be suitable (preferably from the sabian line) replacements for; paiste signature sound edge hh, paiste singature full crash, paiste singature power crash, and yes i know they are completly different types of cymbals, but what are the closest sounding cymbals iu can get (again, preferably from the sabian line, but zildjian ok too)?

Arite guys I need a new ride. I play a 20" A Custom right now and as you may or may not know they're quite thin and light. I like it but for my next one I'd like a tiny bit heavier, with equal or as close as possible crashing capabilities. Keep in mind I have a thing for thinner cymbals, but the A Custom is just too light. Thanks a ton guys.
Edit: Right know I'm thinking just a Medium A. Any feedback?

hey, i asked first
