I'm looking for a pair of mini hats. I'm thinking either AA 12" Mini, or a Meinl Byzance set of the same size. What type do you think would be be most versatile, while still retaining a nice cutting sound.

I'm looking for a second crash, that has a deep, full, powerful sound, used for playing progressive metal. My current crashes are a paiste alpha 16 inch thin crash, and a paiste 302 16 inch, and right now, the 302 just isn't cutting it.

18inch HHX stage crash.

I need a full new set up. Im going in for Paiste, damn I love those cymbals. Anyway, I'm thinking a 16" inch Paiste Alpha(two actually), an 18" Paiste cymbal of some form, possibly a Sig? Then some kind of ride.
Wuhan china's, and a couple of nice Sabian splashes.

Definately, the AA mini hats, John Blackwell uses them and they sound sweet.

Mk, a question before I go to my local music store to try them out: are the aax-celerator hats versatile from jazz to rock?

Want a new pair of hi-hats, not to bright not to dark. Versitile, i play rock, metal and just other random things.

Thanks

What would be a good ride cymbal that also sounds great as a crash. Sabian preferably.

/fanboy.

My groove ride can seriously roar when you shoulder the edge, Chrysostom.

Also I think if you like the AA/AAX line, the AAX stage is supposed to be good for that.

Cool, thanks man. :thumb:

It's cool that you can crash a groove ride, because they're nice rides. But I'll check out the AAX stage.

which soundedge the signature or the 2002 (price is not a problem)?

15" signature

[QUOTE=Drum Phil]15" signature[/QUOTE]

Because i love the dark tones with the nice chick they give.

New Beats

Whats the loudest, most ear-killing, longest sutaining crash, assuming I hit it the same force on every one. Not over 20".

I think the thing that you are lusting for is: THE CRASH OF DOOOOOOM


Well, it's loud, trashy, dark, and has a huge sound.

[QUOTE=Drum Phil]Because i love the dark tones with the nice chick they give.[/QUOTE]

I've played a pair of 12" Mini Hats and thought they were great! Nicely high pitched and cool for effects.

The 20" AAX Stage ride has your name all over it. Only bad thing is the bell is a little small. Great ride though.
