well, that blows ***, look at K's, K Customs, HH and HHX then. as for the snare, you can pick up between 150-215 US, don't know what the currency in the phillipines is though

our currency.
1 USD = 52 PHP
1 PHP = 1pc of candy
HH(X),Ks are too expensive for my budget right now.
lol.i might get an 18" A custom. love the sound.
thanks.

The phillipines is great, you spend five dollars and get a nice piece of furniture. But of course, because of the wood you cant ship it back :-\

Anyone have any opinions on these K hybrid cymbals? They're pretty expensive, and their Zildjian K, so I excpect them to be hella good but does anyone own them or has anyone heard them in person?

if you had no spending limit, what hi hats would you get?

Ride Cymbal
 

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a new ride. I want one that will be crashable and will go well with my 16" K Medium Thin Dark Crash. Price will not really be a problem, as I won't be buying right-away, so i can save up.

Thanks :)

Zildjian Quick Beats, Paiste Signature Soundedge, Paiste 2oo2 Soundedge

[QUOTE=HeLLmO]Zildjian Quick Beats, Paiste Signature Soundedge, Paiste 2oo2 Soundedge[/QUOTE]

Are the paiste dark energy 14" mk1 hats good?

haven't gotten to try them yet, but i haven't heard anything bad about them

What are the best High Hats for rock style drumming? I was debating between Zildjian New Beats or Mastersound, but I'm open to anything else.

there is no "best"

I personally like AAX Stage hats, zildjian quick beats, and tons of differnet paiste models, try them out in a store and see what you like best. The ones you mentioned are fine.

A buncha cymbals
 

Hey guys what would you reccommend me for general purpose cymbals but mainly rock sorta stuff, im looking for a set of high hats, a ride, and a crash, not really looking to spend too much (will spend what it takes though) as my drum set is a ludwig begginner set, thanks in advance


Im thinking about these [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/Zildjian-ZXT-Rock-Cymbal-Free-Cymbal-stand-ship-more_W0QQitemZ160007129902QQihZ006QQcategoryZ47083QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] BUT i really dont know much about cymbals and ive only been playing like seriously a month now (tryna get into drums, im a guitarist though), looking to spend about the price of these also

Nononononono.

Stay clear of ZBT, ZXT, B8, and PST cymbals. Personally, I think you should buy yourself an advanced set of hats and a ride, if you have the money that is. And if this is something you know you'll be doing for a long time, just get advanced cymbals. Beginner cymbals are a waste of money.

Look for-
Zildjian K, K Custom, A, A Custom
Sabian AA, AAX, HHX, HH, Vault
Paiste Signature, Traditional, Rude, 2002, New Signature
Meinl (Sean can elaborate)
Bosphorus
Istanbul
Alchemy

All those make great advanced cymbals.

Otherwise, go Wuhan.

Can you suggest me specifics?

As in which specific brands and models for which specific cymbal, i appreciate the help

OMG miracle!
u didnt choose NEW BEATS!:lol:

I <3 Meinl, Byzance are incredible, buy them, they sound like Ks and K Customs, but their cheaper, so they kick ***. but i have to disagree with u on 1 thing george, PST5s are actually really great cymbals, ask Thugs(where ever he is, i do not know, but if you find him you can ask him).

how do A Mastersounds sound(not A Customs, but As) i'm gettin' new hats soon, and i haven't seen A Mastersounds around, so i can't try them myself(though i'm probably just gettin' 13'' sig dry crisp hats or 13'' sig soundedges)

if you can spring some cash, i would look into A/A Custom, or AA/AAX packs, because your gonna get great cymbals(i think the A pack is new beats, medium crash and medium ride, and the A custom is regular hats, medium crash, medium ride, and AA is the same as A Custom pack, and AAX you get stage hats, stage crash and stage ride(i think)

if you want to buy seperatly, then look into all the above mentioned cymbals, but also check out meinl stuff like Amun(good cymbals, fairly cheap), Byzance, and the soundcasters/soundcaster custom, for paiste, 2oo2 and Sig are all you will ever need, but sigs are EXPENSIVE

The PST5s are the best beginner cymbals, but I was referring to the PST3s. Personally, if I had to, I would get a B8 Ride, PST5 hats, and Wuhan crashes.

And your packs are correct, as far as I know.

oh right, the PST3s, yea, they are pretty bad. i've never played a B8 ride though, when my parents got me my first kit i got the B8 pack that had 14'' hats and an 18'' crash/ride

Hey fellerss, how would a 14" New Beat/14" Quick Beat sound? The dude from TMV uses the 13" version, and they sound great.

Chyeah.

14'' quick beats sound just incredible, they are my 2nd favorite hi hats, next to sig dark crisp hats, 14'' new beats don't sound as incredible IMO.

I shouldn't confuse these newbs, they wouldn't understand.

:lol:

Yess. Just picked up from 13" A Customs from Guitar Center for only $240 plus the 2 year warranty for $20. That's internet price. Sweet.

Rite, can some one help me in finding out what ride this is:

I love the sound of his ride, and and trying to guess what it is, but cant.
