the Zildjian site not working for ya Hellmo?

well, it is, but the sound clip i'm gettin' is just a stick hitting the bow once

Are 15" New Beats any good for a good click sound when played with just the foot? Also what are there tone when they are played open and closed??

Also sabian AA 20" ride, what does that sound like, i cant get to a store to find out so any info would be great.

k, i hate comin' to you guys with these questions, but has anyone ever played a 21'' Meinl Byzance Dark Ride, i just heard the clips on the meinl site and indoorstorm.com and i feel in love. so, who know the crashability of this ride, or dark rides in general?

So ya, what cymbals pair well with Sabian AAX's?
Crashes I mean

The 15" will probably be louder and darker then the 14" I own 14" myself. They are absolutly awesome, definitally go for them.

I prefer the 15s to the 14s TBH. 14s are abit to meat-and-potatoes for me, but the 15s have a very nice quality to them.

I don't think this deserves it's own thread, so I'll ask in here.

I'm going to drill my B8 ride, since the way it is now, I have no use for it. I'm hoping to get a usable sound out of it, because I'd love to have 2 rides, but don't have money to blow on another ride, and don't want to buy a stand for it the way it is now.

So what would you recommend as to size of holes, number of holes, placement of holes?

Honestly I don't have much preference as to what this turns out as. Chances are I won't use it anyways, but what would give me the best results?

Three small holes placed closely together.

Like Peter Erskine's Left Side Ride.

To my old pearl hats.

I used a size 4 drill bit and just drilled a nice pattern.

your crash is keyholin

Hey guys, im looking for a china. I want something with fast decay and a nice defined "PANG" sound. I want it to be like ...dry is the word that comes to mind. I was looking at the AAXtreme china, probably and 18 incher. Any other suggestions?

Wuhan maybe?

[QUOTE=Cocaberry]Wuhan maybe?[/QUOTE]

MY local store doesn't carry wuhans.

[quote=Zildjian]your crash is keyholin[/quote]

I know. It came with my kit like that and i really dont care :) Its pearl. POS much?

i'm looking for a ride that will be equally well adjusted in a small jazz swing ensemble and a heavy rock band, i'm currently thinking about the paiste 2002 cool ride, but i wanted to know if anyone's had any experience with it to see if it has a good jazz sound

im looking for a nice main crash that isn't too over-powering in the mix and versatile enough to be played in various musical settings. i play mostly rock and some heavier stuff.

i just find that my 18" AAX Metal Crash is too over-powering over my other drums and cymbals. so if i could find a main crash and use that as a secondary that would be great.

K-hybrid
Paiste 22" Sig ride is good too

18" A custom fast crash is perfect, not over-powering whatsoever

[QUOTE=drummguy731]18" A custom fast crash is perfect, not over-powering whatsoever[/QUOTE]

sweet thanks. i checked it out online and it says on zildjian.com that they're 'paper thin', so would they be prone to cracking in rock playing?

umm, mine holds up perfectly, it really depends, are you much of a hard hitter?

i don't think so. I have a sabian 14" AA thin crash, and i don't hit harder that i have to. mind you i hit all my cymbals on the edge.

like, you mean you hit the outer lathing on top of the cymbal, or directly on the rim, so the cymbal hardly moves at all?

Thin cymbals arent prone to cracking. Theyre less likely to crack than thick ones.

yeah, but if your hitting them directly on the rim, that'll definately crack the sooner because the cymbal isn't moving at all.

tis word

[QUOTE=drummguy731]like, you mean you hit the outer lathing on top of the cymbal, or directly on the rim, so the cymbal hardly moves at all?[/QUOTE]

i think the outer lating on top of the cymbal. hitting it directly on the rim is retarded

:mad:[quote=Kayne815]i think the outer lating on top of the cymbal. hitting it directly on the rim is retarded[/quote]:mad:
No, it sounds really cool actually, just don't hit it too hard.

really..............hmm i guess i never really thought of trying it. sounds cool tho. i should check it out sometime.

I agree with TTTSNB, the sound it makes when you hit it on the rim sounds really nice. I'm a soft player, and that's what I tend to do anyways.


Hey Sean, did you go to the Nook today around 3:15?
