14" K Light Hats

Ollie The Drumming Legend 02-16-2007 07:56 AM

I've been looking on only1 music's ebay thing, and I reckon either a 17" AAX dark crash or 17" AAX stage crash go best with my current setup (17" a custom projection crash, 20" k custom dry ride, 13" a custom mastersound hats). Pitchwise they're both a bit higher than my current crash, but the stage crash is the higher of the two and the dark is only a little higher than the a custom but has a nice dark tone.

Anyone got experience of either / suggestions for which one to go for?

teh aax dark crash isnt really that dark at all....for a trying to be dark cymbal that is. I would go with the stage crash its more versatile. Ive played the 17 my friend has it and i like it. I would trade him my 16 satge crash for the 17 any day.

Yeah i realise, it's actually marginally less bright than other aax's which is good as dark cymbals often don't penetrate well.

thanks

Zildjian 02-17-2007 05:56 PM

If you want a dark crash, go K custom

[QUOTE=Seafroggys;14211359]will you be my gay lover?[/QUOTE]


sure, can we bring our new beats?

Seafroggys 02-17-2007 06:06 PM

yes, we can play on each other's, even mix and match!

byrkee 02-17-2007 06:54 PM

the 18'' a custom efx sounds amazing.

Static 02-17-2007 07:24 PM

I prefer the 16".


And I didn't know the made 18 foot cymbals.

We_Love_Lime 02-17-2007 07:27 PM

My teacher asked me to do an essay, so I banged a mexican.
Somehow I thought of mexicans when I thuoght of 18 foot cymbals, and how you can use them as hats, or as a roof for a house, than I thought roofers.

Static 02-17-2007 07:33 PM

Okay.

We_Love_Lime 02-17-2007 07:34 PM

Uhm.
Yeah.

Quinto 02-23-2007 03:33 PM

a fast splash, a little bright, to compliment the one described above.

Tim 02-23-2007 04:25 PM

HHX splash and AA Splash. thos would go well.

Mr. Grill 02-24-2007 12:44 AM

Can someone tell me what the stagg dual hammered series are like? I wanna get a 16" crash for my birthday but the only stagg DH cymbal Ive played is a china. It sounded good, but Ive never heard their crashes. I cant get a really expensive one as Im already getting drum bags and other stuff lol!

Cheers for any help you can give- sam

440561 02-25-2007 01:53 AM

266 pages, then when i ask the question, it goes cold for a day.

So this here is a bumb!

Drum Phil 02-25-2007 06:11 AM

DH are really trashy sounding.

I have a pair of DH splashes and i love them. I also have a SH crash which isnt the greatest crash.

I probably wouldnt bother tbh. They're very inconsistent.

Cjc1706 02-25-2007 06:17 AM

Stay clear of Zildjian Z Customs. Just as a little hint.

They're too heavy to be played fast and are incredibly brittle and crack.

Cjc1706 02-25-2007 06:54 AM

Ok thanks for the tip....

any other litte points i should know about the A custom crash ?

Cheers

CJ

ant_182 02-25-2007 06:56 AM

They're good if you like em :p. I am a little scared of it cracking though! Anyone able to tell me the difference between these two? I'm sure they're the same but the logo is different. Is one an older model? I know one is med. thin, the other could be just thin?
Thanks

The "standard" crash is thin weight.

Other than that, not really.

I wouldnt go with anything over Medium-Thin. They're a nice balance of tone and volume.
