I'm gonna ask for a crash for christmas. I'm down to two or three but I'm open to any suggestions. I know I have to try stuff out, just curious as to what you guys think. Ok so I want a larger crash 18 maybe 19. The two I narrowed it down two were 18" 2oo2 and 18" K Custom Dark. right now my setup includes: 14" New Beats, 20" K Custom Ride, 16" XS20 Med. Thin Crash (will become secondary). So, which would be better or any other suggestions? gracias

Thank you Hellmo, any particular models of the K's and A's I should look at? I don't want the ride to be dry though. So K's I don't think I should look into unless you have another suggestion of a K ride.

for As. the medium ride has a good amount of wash and a good bell, so maybe somethin' like an A Rock Ride or A Ping ride would be better, as for the Ks, i think maybe the K Heavy Ride would work

[QUOTE=santi3hg;13648908]Hey, I'm in the market for a new ride and hats.

Hats I would prefer 14" and well adaptive to rock and is versatile as well.

The ride I'm looking would need to have a nice bell, not dry but it cuts, as well as a bit of washyness to it.

Thanks[/QUOTE]

For hats, I suggest 14" A Mastersounds. Those are godly compared to the new beats. **hides from seafroggys**:cool:

now that other people have posted.....

New Beats

You're a biased tool.

Awesome I can get a 20" Istanbul Turk ride for $220 Canadian. Brand new.

I think I might get a whole set of 'em.. 18" crash and 18" china... 13" hats... 10" splash...

*drools*

Turks are nice, but I prefer Sultans. A little less dry, and more versatile.

19'' Turk flat rides though... *instant massive erection*

Your mom though... *inst-



Yea you get what I'm about to say...

Anywho, those Turk flat rides are quite nice... But I heart dry... big time...

Seen as though no one answered my previous question I'll just post it again?

Does anyone own Sabian AAX Stage cymbals? I just looking into getting some for christmas (well with my student loan)?

Thanks.

I own the AAX stage hats and an AAX stage crash. Excellent cymbals. Great vesatile and cutting cymbals.

I own the AAX Stage hats and the 20" Stage ride. Both are brilliant finish.

The Stage ride is pretty washy. You might want to look into something heavier if you need good ping. It works great for crashing and crashriding though.

Stage hats are awesome. Great sound open, half-open, and closed. Very versatile.

Hey thanks :)

I have a 18" aax stage crash. It's nice but can't beat my meat..I mean can't beat my 17" A custom

Opinions on 16" Sig Full Crash?

so im interested in the paragon ride at my local store and i have a few questions

can it be used for diferent kinds of music?is it loud?

Extremely versatile, very loud too. A lot of (good) ping. A great ride, easily my second ride.

it's not the washiest ride though, so if you want a fair amout of wash, you may wanna look elsewhere

stfu nub.

Im looking for a second ride.

I want it to contrast with an 20" Avedis Platinum rock ride.

Just to give you a quick example of what ive been looking at:

22" HH Rock ride
21" Paiste sig dark full ride
18 + 20" Paiste trad light flat ride

Im at your mercy MX.

21HH raw bell dry ride?

Its a bit too dry to contrast with my other ride.

....20" K Ride.....

AA heavy ride? in trad. or medium heavy in trad.

The heavy ride is pretty much identical to my Avedis.

Im rather tempted by the 20" Artisan medium though.

Oh, the Vault Artisans are beautiful cymbals. I prefer the 22"? better, though.

looking at some new hats
 

hey im looking for some new main hats. i'd like something with a nice chick, a nice sorta sizzle if ud like to call it that(a nice closed sound), and a nice open sound. pretty much a very versatile pair of hats that can be played at any volume. i was looking at something like AA regular hats and AAX stage hats, or vault hats. if anyone has experience id like to hear ur views on them. im not trying to close myself down to those two, anything from zildjian as well would be great. thanks.

AA sizzle hats. They rule, i use em for everything.

New Beats would be good from the Zildjian camp, but I understand that the AA and AAX Stage are also very versatile.

Vaults are more like A Customs, so if you like the Vaults, check out those.

Alright, what is everyone's opinion on the Sabian AAX dark crash cymbals? I'm considering purchasing one but don't know very much about them.
