[QUOTE=Drum Phil;14010348]Really? :-/ Ah well. I coulda sworn they were bout £390 last time i looked.[/QUOTE]

ecymbals.co.uk has them for that price.
They also have 40" Symphonic gongs for only £2499 (free postage, stand + mallet)

Does this look in good nick? Also would a 22" A custom med ride suite my needs? thanks[IMG]http://i8.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/82/e3/c6ba_1.JPG[/IMG]

20" K Ride.

If wash and crashability is what you're looking for, the sweet ride is a good choice. Dunno if you'll like the bell though.

I don't offten use the bell of my ride that much, so I think I might try and grab this deal later today!

Can you reccomend me a crash please?

I would like a crash in brilliant finish,dark and jazzy yet bright and powerful and would stand up to some rock.Short sustain.Decay?

18" HHX of some kind?

no doubt on this one: K custom 18" fast crash.. It's the secks.. or maybe 16", but i prefer the 18 inch. It's got everything youa sked for.. I play in a melo death band, and this is what i use as my main crash and i use it for crashing ride patterns. truly amazing cymbal ^^

Ive got the 16.

It really is amazing.

I'm looking into the 16".I really do like this one does it sound anything like the sample on the zlidjian website?

Mines a little brighter and quicker.

Sounds good at low volumes and when played with mallets.

Cool I think im gonna call up my local store and see how much that one is.I'm really liking that.

Just bought the 21" A Sweet ride as it seemed to fit my descriptions. £142 in total, slightly used :) Should be here teusday/wednesday :)

Dark [I]and[/I] bright??
kinda contradicted yourself there, no?

I'm going to Sam Ash tommorrow, and I'm looking for maybe a crash or two crashes or one crash and one ride. I sometimes play punk, and most of the heavy stuff like Underoath, Drop Dead Gorgeous and such. And I have a pocket of $460, but I also plan on buying new heads. I'm new to cymbals, and I have no clue of what I should be looking for. So please give me good recomendations. I want my crash(es) to be main. Because I'm going to be using those/that crash(es) all the time and I want them/it too be in front and main. Thanks a bunch.

Alot of people that like to play to Underoath tend to like bigger crashes.

Bigger Crashes? What do you mean?

I need to know specific cymbals that I should get.

I can't tell you what to buy I can just suggest things for you...Best thing to do is to go to the store and play them if you can.But by bigger crashes I mean from 18"-22" as crashes some people like rides as their crashes.

an A sweet ride would do you pretty good. it has a lot of wash, so it can be a great crashable ride if you need a larger crash.

I'll look into that. Any other cymbals I should look at and buy? Because I want MAIN cymbal(s) that I'm going to use for a long time and I want my crash(es) to be good for my genre of playing.

If I were in your situation I'd aim for two 18" or 19" crashes that are alternate pitches and weights; one medium-thin higher pitched model for normal crash work and another heavy-weight low pitched model for that heavy crash sound.

I'd use Mediums for your heavies....I find them plenty loud enough, I can't imagine having anything heavier for a crash.

Something like an 18" K Custom fast crash and an 18" AAXplosion should suffice.

Then maybe a 21" Sweet ride too?

Hmmmm, sounds interesting. I'm new to cymbals but I get what you guys are saying.

Okay I"m looking into some A Customs.

Now I've heard that they tend to crack easy becasue they are thin?Like I think I have good technique.So should I worry about this or should I just go buy it?

And would Zildjian replace a cracked cymbal?

Zildjian have a 1 year warrenty on all cymbals. Treat your cymbals right and they'll be ok

They wont replace it if the damage is entirely your fault(ie you hit it incorrectly or just to damn hard). If you break a proffesional cymbal like an A custom then either the cymabl is deffective or your playing is.

Lol ..Well I heard they were really thin.And I think I treat my cymbals fairly well.

they're not really any thinner than normal A's,as far asi know.
just play correctly and don't bash on them,and you'll be fine.

I don't bash:rolleyes: ...And if i do it isn't hard.

okay, just bought 21" A Sweet Ride today. Never got to hit the thing once because parents are sleeping but I'll try after school tommorrow or something.

What I bought at Sam [s]***[/s] today:
$244.99- A. Zildjian Sweet Ride
$56.99 - Evans Heads Prekpak with 4 heads
$42.99 - Evans Heads Bass Drum Batter
$65.99 - Boom Cymbal Stand

=D

wait, you just went out and bought it without hitting it..?

I'm with you, but I meant for that crash-ride sound.

hmm im looking for some 13" fusion hats, the reason is i played a friends sabian 13" pro fusion hat and they were easily the best sounding hats ive played (in my oppion). but when i looked on ebay i could only find one set which looked like them but they were to expensive.
so can anyone help me.


oh and the sabian ones were also quit(sp?) thick.


thanks

13" Sabian Pro Fusion Hats.

13" AA Fusions

13" New Beat fusion hats.

Except that they're automatically fusiony, so they won't say 'fusion' on them, it is implied.

I'm looking for a quick, bright, cutting china. Like a small, less boomy version of the 18" AA, but brighter. Not Wuhan as I don't have anywhere nearby that stocks them.


Also, looking for a moderately bright crash with some nice, shimmering overtones to go with my 18" Vault and 16" 2002 full.
