Holy balls. Go for it.

[QUOTE=Snarz;14098851]Heys guys what do you think of this deal?If it is a deal.

A pair of 13" Sabian Fusion hats. AA top with an HH bottom,No cracks or keyholing.$125.00?

Edit:I know this is not th eplace to talk aobut snare drums but this guy also has a 1979 5x14" B/O Ludwig Acrolite snare drum.$150?[/QUOTE]

get those hats dude thats a steal.

Is it normal that they have three holes on the bottom hat?Becasue I've seen alot of them doso im guessing yes.

And sound wise any good?

soudn wise they will sound excellent. the holes on the bottom are to prevent airlock and make them quicker.

[QUOTE=byrkee;14086509]Im looking for the crash cymbal from the band 'ambry'.
an example would be from their song 'better scene than heard'
ok thanks.[/QUOTE]
anyone know?

I listened to the song but there isnt anything special about the sound of that crash. I would suggest going to a music store and finding something that sounds similar or that you like. No need to go on a mission to find that exact crash, it sounds like a million others.

oh i thought it sounded a lot better than anything i heard.

then you havent heard a lot..

It sounds good but I dont think its a sound that many cymbals couldnt give you. Im sure if you found the cymbal somewhere and hit it your first thought would be "that doesnt sound like the one on that song".

ok thanks.

Do you know what brand he uses?

well i watched a couple of their live performances, and his cymbals had a big Z on it, so im guessing its zidjilan(spelling?),even though it doesnt have the usual written out label on it.

Those would be Z Customs then and thats probably not what he used in the studio nor what you would want to use at home or for smaller venues.

oh.

You might like the Z Customs. Try them out :) I really didn't want to try the Z crash out. But I did and loved it!

Righty-O, finally saved up some cash, so I'm gonna upgrade my cymbals. After a cursory glance at the available options, my first impression was to go XS20 - The performance set and also the splash/chinese set. I've only played a crash from the set, but it was a nice little thing.

Anyone who has these cymbals, comments?

Now for the reason this is in the cymbal finder thread:

Hats - A bit dry, fast, light
Ride - I don't want much sustain; main things are a cutting, kinda industrial bell sound and a low decay time.
Crash - Short decay, but cutting, and something that sounds good at medium-high volumes.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I have about £550 available to me, but am looking to put £150 of that towards new snare drum.

I have the 10" splash. It sounds great for the price. I recommend getting it.

hi, i can't decide between these crashes:

16" A custom med and 18" 2002 full
16" full and 17" A custom med.

anyone?

16" A Custom Medium.

the 18" 2002 Full.

16 is toooo small :P 17" A Custom Med. 18" 2002 full


-Ant-

Size doesn't matter, sound does. The 16" has a great tone imo. You can hear the cymbal say "crassssshhh".

id go 17". i like the sound better than the 16"

I need a new crash that will go decently with a 19'' Sabian AAX dark crash. Something generally for harder stuff, but still versatile. Thanks

18inch AAX stage crash?

Yes, size does matter. I prefer the [B]sound[/B] of larger crashes(that I've heard) :) I might get a smaller K Custom or A Custom later though


-Ant-

I guess that was kind of a dumb thining to say in retrospekt :P

link please.

a custom 14" hats or k hats? i want a good sound for the chick, and over all. I play all style and want a good sound for all situations. Other suggestions are also welcome.

K's

i meant like a link to a sound sample of the z custom.

It's called a lil effort, geez.

Now find what you want from there.

oh, i got to those pages and everything, but i didnt find the sound sample part off to the side, but i just found it, ok thanks.

Hey there. I'm looking for a 2nd crash for my drum kit. It's a Mapex Pro M 22/10/12/14 with 12" snare, and the cymbals I have already are 13" A custom mastersound hats, 17" A custom projection crash, 20" K custom dry ride. I also have a 16" Stagg medium crash, but I want to get a better one. Ideally a bit less powerful and shorter decay (less sustain) than the projection crash, with a different sound that fits but is also fairly contrasting (higher or lower in pitch). So far I have looked on the Sabian website to get an idea of what is out there sound-wise, and briefly I have considered the following:

AAX - 16" dark, 15"/16" studio, 16" stage
AA - 16" sound control, 17" fast.

I play in a rock band, so it has to be loud (etc) enough to be heard and sound good in rock, but any cymbal has to be versatile enough to play in other styles as my band isn't all that serious and it's not going to be around forever, so good for playing alone too, hence not having a bigger crash as the 17" projection is rather powerful indeed.

Also, I don't want anything too thin that is going to break easily as although I take care I sometimes hit fairly hard (+ my brother can be a bit of a noob when playing my drums + hits them very hard, so I've put my current crashes at really slanted angles that are a bit awkward for me to play otherwise he hits the edges).


Secondly, I'm thinking of a 2nd ride or crash/ride, as the K custom dry ride is sex and great for grooving but it isn't very loud, has little wash, can't easily be crashed to build wash&volume, and has dark&low over/undertones that mean it doesn't cut through very well. So I was thinking about something with a little less wash than a 21 A sweet ride, possibly a 20 or 22 A custom/A ride/medium ride, or a K custom 'normal' ride, with wash&some crashing ability (inc. using the side of the stick on the body of the ride) but also stick definition and definitely louder than than what I already have.


Although all my (decent) cymbals are currently Zildjian, I don't have a preference for brands at all. Sabian AA/X are cheaper than A&K/custom, but about £20 or £30 but I'd always go for sound rather than price if I'm spending over £100 anyway. Though I did rule out HH etc as they're damn expensive.

I also have a Meinl Classics 20" ping ride, but no stand for it - so any ride would have to be preferable to that.


Thank you in advance for your helpful advice and for taking time to help fellow drummers. :) (++rep as an incentive for good advice).

You sir want A customs or 2oo2's for the crash

and Avedis 20" Medium for that good crash and good ride

AS far as Zildjian stuff goes I would say a 16" regular A Custom crash would do. It would be a higher pitch with a shorter sustain but being an A Custom it will still be durable and cut through.

Anybody got any opinions on the 16" A Custom Fast Crash and Medium Crash?

I played a Fast Crash yesterday. Pretty good, sounds really nice with a full kit.



Very versatile. Very bright.

The fast crashes are nice, pretty much like the regulars without the sustain. I always find the medium crashes hard to describe but they fit right in between the regular and the projection. I found them to have a unique tone that you have to hear for yourself.

No, try them yourself. The cymbal sound clips don't do cymbals justice IMO
