I dont find that my stage ride functions that well as a crash, it still sounds very ride like when compared to say a 20" vault crash.

[QUOTE=drumaster]i have a question...

i have fusion hats, and the bell has this weird ring that id like to reduce, how could i do this? in other words whenever i hit it has a bit of a ring[/QUOTE]

maybe tape the underside of the bell, i personally dont tape cymbals, but it might solve your problem

edit: 300 posts finally

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

i'd go 21'' though because the bell is a bit bigger, but that is just my opinion

[quote=drummonkey000]I've played a pair of 12" Mini Hats and thought they were great! Nicely high pitched and cool for effects.

Awesome, I've never got to play a set, but they seem definitely worth getting.

[QUOTE=TTTSNB]Awesome, I've never got to play a set, but they seem definitely worth getting.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I liked playing them. Definitely would consider a pair after my set is "complete", just because I'm not looking for that right now.

i'm looking for a decently priced,clear cutting china and 16" crash that can hold up to Mars Volta style drumming,but still be useful when the volume gets toned down.

what's the sound of the 2002 22" heavy ride like?

i already knew that, but that question was for those who have actually played it

do 2oo2's have a rep for breaking?

the only thing 2002s have a rep for is for kicking ***

quoted for total utter indisputable truth

Okay, I have a dilemma. I'm upgrading my crappy cymbals (Pearls) that I've had for 4.416 years. I'm looking for a set of hats that have a very tight, articulate, clean, and clear sound when closed, and very bright when open. Washy when slightly open, but not when closed. I have narrowed it down to four.
1. 13" AAX Studio Hats
2. 14" AAX Stage Hats
3. 14" A Custom Hats
4. 13.25" K Custom Hybrid Hats


In that order, I believe.

Any opinions, suggestions?

what about a custom mastersound hats? they sound like they could be what you're after, never heard the hybrids, the studio hats sound nice, a guy i know has them and i heard them live, very nice hats, never heardthe stage hats

i'd look at K Custom Mastersounds as well, they are excelent hats. i'm gonna be rockin' 'em for my new ska band. of course, i'm not totally sure if the Nook has K Custom Mastersounds...so u might have to speak with the nice ppl at massmusic.net

Don't you mean K Mastersounds?

i think they make both

Didn't see any K Customs on the site.

All right, it's a toss up between the 13" A Custom Mastersounds and the 13" Studio Hats. I wasn't a big fan of the K hats, they were too dark and washy for my liking.

[QUOTE=drumaster]do 2oo2's have a rep for breaking?[/QUOTE]
Not really... It all comes down to the player.

Diego what happened to you buying the sigs?

[QUOTE]15" signature[/QUOTE] Garbage. 15 inches and sound edge, no thanks :-/

13 IMO is big as you should go with anytype of sound edge, mastersound cymbal.

I changed my hat preference. At first I thought wash>all, but now I'm more about tight, closed hat sounds. So I just didn't get them.

Ah, ok. Dont get any sound edge, mastersound thing then.

As far as tight closed hats, check out the Quickbeat/Newbeats

[QUOTE=Diego]I changed my hat preference. At first I thought wash>all, but now I'm more about tight, closed hat sounds. So I just didn't get them.[/QUOTE]

yea, the 13'' quick beats should suit you very well, excellent hats. or maybe 13'' AAX fusion hats, but they may be too washy, i haven't played them for a while

I've played the Mastersounds before, and I really liked them. I don't like New Beats, and I don't know why. I just don't like any of the A line up basically. I like the fusion hats too, I was gonna go with those also, but they're too loose for my liking.

The quick beats are a little too washy for my liking, also.

K Custom Special Dry hats maybe?

[QUOTE=Diego]The quick beats are a little too washy for my liking, also, but those New Beats that I tried out are absolutly awesome. I had no idea such wonderness could be made into a cymbal![/QUOTE]

Yeah, you should go try them out. They ARE fantastic.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]Yeah, you should go try them out. They ARE fantastic.[/QUOTE]

froggys my man, we've been over this before, not everyone sleeps with their new beats next to them at night

Holy sh[COLOR="Black"]i[/COLOR]t. These things are perfect. The 14 inchers are like sex. Thanks a lot kid whos name I don't know yet goes by Hellmo.
