What is the sabian sound equivalent of the 18" zildjian a thin crash and the 14" k mastersounds?

i think it's AA(X?) studio, if they don't make AA studio you could get AAX in trad finish, and the Matersound equvalent would be HHxcellerators(not HHXcellerators), but i'm not sure if they make those, so you'd have to talk to sabian and get them custom done

Hey im looking for a really dark sounding ride that I could play in rock setting, something thatll cut, but with great stick definition.

good god yes!

My drummer is looking for some new crashes for metal. He hits hard on his cymbals and he broke both of his ZBT Crashes. I know ZBT sux but he is afraid he will break more cymbals. He is looking at Zildjian cymbals and he wants some that sound good with metal and are very durable. Any suggestions?

Z customs are supposedly the cymbals for hard rock/metal, but ive never tried em.

To HeLLmO: Thanks! If I want to get a pair custom made, do you know how much it will cost me? Or more over, what number I should call to get a pair made?

[QUOTE=saars]um... Z... Customs..? I'm probably gonna get flamed, but when I read metal, Z custom was the first two words that came in mind.

well, as to that, i'm honestly not sure, i'm sure you could look on the sabian site and try to find an FAQ or an Address or somethin'. if all else fairs you could always go to canada. i don't think the hats themselves would cost too much more than the hats would be if you didn't tamper with them, for example on massmusic, 14'' HH regular hats are 359, so i can't imagine gettin' them soundedged would make them more that 380(that's just an example, i don't recall sabians actual prices). they're usually really helpful with their custom stuff, so i think you'll be fine. glad i could be of help to ya

Z customs should not be used. Period.

Try some A Customs and a teacher.

Im looking for a 2nd ride. Im going to be using it for gigging. I want a crashable ride with great stick definition and a cutting bell, preferably around the 20"/21" range.

Sweet ride?

sweet ride, without a doubt, i'm gettin' one by the end of the year hopefully

yeah i'd say sweet ride, but if you want to get better stick definition i recommend using peter erskine or dave weckl sticks

basically, barrell tips is what your saying

k, 1 last thing, K Custom Ride, 20'', anyone know it's crashability, i love the actual ride and bell more than the sweet ride, but lack of crashability really is a deal breaker

on Zildjian the site, you are able to view I belive, riding, the bell, and crashing some cymbals.

cool, i'll have to do that then

Yeah, its where the sound clips are, theres a little tabish menu, that you bring down, and it tells you what you want hit really.

chyeah!! I love my sweet ride! :)

^^^me too bro

Blech. I hate sweet rides.

/runs

i dunno, i'm totally torn now, i dig the sweet ride, but the K Custom ride sounds better in all aspects except i just don't know if i can crash it. SOMEONE TELL ME

Yes. It's very crashable. Almost as much as a K Ride.

I played on two at GC. Very nice. Kinda "twangy" though. Not in a good way.

which K ride do you have? just a regular K ride?

Yeah.

sweet. i think i'm gonna go with the 22'' K ride or the 20'' K Custom ride, goin' by the sound clips on Indoorstorm.com i think i'm gonna go with the K Custom
