OK, back to cymbals. Keep in mind, I suck at describing cymbals so bear with me. I'm looking for a China that has a pretty full sound, but still kind of dry, with a decent amount of sustain.

do you want a trashy sound or a traditional sound?

low or high in pitch?

Trashy with a low pitch.

try either the 20" or 22" oriental china trash

the large sound will give it a deeper tone, while the cymbal itself is still rather trashy sounding.

get those hats dude thats a steal.

Is it normal that they have three holes on the bottom hat?Becasue I've seen alot of them doso im guessing yes.

And sound wise any good?

soudn wise they will sound excellent. the holes on the bottom are to prevent airlock and make them quicker.

[QUOTE=byrkee;14086509]Im looking for the crash cymbal from the band 'ambry'.
an example would be from their song 'better scene than heard'
ok thanks.[/QUOTE]
anyone know?

I listened to the song but there isnt anything special about the sound of that crash. I would suggest going to a music store and finding something that sounds similar or that you like. No need to go on a mission to find that exact crash, it sounds like a million others.

oh i thought it sounded a lot better than anything i heard.

then you havent heard a lot..

It sounds good but I dont think its a sound that many cymbals couldnt give you. Im sure if you found the cymbal somewhere and hit it your first thought would be "that doesnt sound like the one on that song".

ok thanks.

Do you know what brand he uses?

well i watched a couple of their live performances, and his cymbals had a big Z on it, so im guessing its zidjilan(spelling?),even though it doesnt have the usual written out label on it.

Those would be Z Customs then and thats probably not what he used in the studio nor what you would want to use at home or for smaller venues.

oh.

You might like the Z Customs. Try them out :) I really didn't want to try the Z crash out. But I did and loved it!


-Ant-

Righty-O, finally saved up some cash, so I'm gonna upgrade my cymbals. After a cursory glance at the available options, my first impression was to go XS20 - The performance set and also the splash/chinese set. I've only played a crash from the set, but it was a nice little thing.

Anyone who has these cymbals, comments?

Now for the reason this is in the cymbal finder thread:

Hats - A bit dry, fast, light
Ride - I don't want much sustain; main things are a cutting, kinda industrial bell sound and a low decay time.
Crash - Short decay, but cutting, and something that sounds good at medium-high volumes.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I have about £550 available to me, but am looking to put £150 of that towards new snare drum.

I have the 10" splash. It sounds great for the price. I recommend getting it.

hi, i can't decide between these crashes:

16" A custom med and 18" 2002 full
16" full and 17" A custom med.

anyone?

16" A Custom Medium.

the 18" 2002 Full.
