^^ Agreed.

[QUOTE=Slapped]Meinl. More complex tone.[/QUOTE]

what you mean by complex?

AA Regulars = Lifeless = No Soul.

They're too bland, They're good for hard rock, or something where the hats need to b heard (reggae). But in that case I'd suggest like a 15 K or something.

Meh.

My opinion though, they're very ordinary those Sabians.

uhmm interesting, btw i dont like zildjians they're like mmm not my style, so you say i should go for meinl?

Get Stage hats instead of AA Regulars.

Yeah, or listen to Cocaberry.

[QUOTE=We_Love_Lime]People who use Crashs as rides rule.[/QUOTE]

Before I got my K Ride, i use to use a 20" UFIP Class Crash (Medium) as my ride. It was great, loads of wash, with alittle ping.

Shame it sucked for recording.

I think I figured it out. Today I went to the shop and picked up a 20" HHX Stage Ride, and a 16" HHX Stage Crash. Along with those I picked up a Gibraltar Moto-style throne (9600 I believe).

I still have a few hundred dollars left, and I think I will buy an 18" Istanbul Mehmet Sultan Series Jazz Ride, 14" Sultan Series Hats, and MAYBE even an 18" Sultan Series Crash.

When I set up the set with everything, I will have everything listed above + what I'm moving from my other drumset. Which is most likely a 12" Wuhan China, and my 10" HHX Splash.

Oh, and also I'm moving my 14" Paiste Full Crash.

Howdy here, this is my first post here, just so you know ^^

Anyway, I'm looking for a nice hihat, I dont have alot of money to my disposal and thus ask your advice. I was thinking about the Paiste Innovations, but I'm still not sure =(

I mainly play symphonic rock, like Rush, Styx and Yes, so I definitly need a nice chick. Open sound should be like a shhh that sounds quite soft and well...uhm, I guess sweet would be a good word? I would like as little ring as possible and the closed sound, well, I wouldnt really know honestly. I dont like the real dark sound, as I said before should be 'sweet' orso

Grtz, and as you might have noticed, I'm not that good at describing cymbals ^^

Sabian EQ Hats.

or

Some Zildjian Quick Beats

So I have an 18" Paiste 2002 Classic Crash, and an 18" Sabian AA Medium Crash.

I want to get a third crash that can not only compliment those two, but also provide a dark, warm alternative to these two 'loud bright' rock crashes.

I'm thinking of something along the lines of a 17" Istanbul Agop Traditional, probably a Medium-Thin. I have a 14" Thin right now, but I'm gonna replace it as its just too small to cut it as anything more then a large splash.

Any ideas?

im not that great with cymbal suggestions, but i would look into a 17-18" HHX stage, and also some other HH/HHX crashes would be worth looking at.

so if you don't know anything about them, why would you want them?

UFIP is fairly good, an underrated/underappreciated company. Depends on what model the hats are.

i was looking for a darker crash than my 18" as a second crash that would be used mostly on the offbeat and for crash riding if you get me, when i need something heavier than pinging the ride. money isnt really a problem, i just need some idea of what to get. im guessing people will be saying K custom, around 20"...but yeah, advice please. excuse my lack of techinical terms for playing, ha.

This one is for Froggys-

I recently got new 13" A Customs, and I didn't like the sound. So I took them back to Guitar Center and looked through every set of hats, combos and all, and guess which ones I bought?

Z customs?

Heh.....I need more feedback on my post.....so far I have suggested Paiste Sig and Sabian HH/HHX.

I'll give you a hint.

N_w B_ats.

Would you like to buy a vowel?


lol@tehoriginal


18" K Custom Dark Crash. The nicest crash ever.

dude, I was being sarcastic ;)

welcome to the holy circle of true drummers. Only we know the true way, and that is of the New Beat.

Anyways, so 18" K Custom, 17" Paiste Sig, and a 17" HH/HHX. I think my local GC has all three of those, I should try them out.

Would Istanbul Trads work as well?

Yes, most definitely.

The New Beats are sex.

14" paiste 2002 heavy hi hats!

Ufips
 

My friend plays on the Bionic series and I really like the sound. The class series hats were on sale. I was kinda hoping for some infomative feedback, not sarcasm.

Series is "class series" as already stated

I have 14'' Class hats (Medium). They are your classic hat sounds, really nice. Though one issue I have of recent, is that they are really bright, though this may be from the room I played in last.

Listen to my bands songs, [url]http://www.myspace.com/thesingletons[/url] I used my Class hats, a Natrual crash and a Experince Vintage Ride (the old model of the Boinic).

Boinic and Class are different. Boinic have deep hammering, where the class dont.

Class series, are the 'A' of UFIP. They are the most musical series that they offer, and are great cymbals.

hmmm, lets see, I want a cymbal that's good for rock, but can also be stretched to play some jazz.

any suggestions?

well thats pretty vague... you mean a ride? maybe check out some K's if they are in your price range.

darn, forgot some stuff, yea I meant a ride.

what are some good jazz rides?
