Cheers. A great drummer and friend of mine suggested B8s lol. They are ok from when Ive heard him play them but... yeah lol.

They are hated around here!

Drum Phil 02-25-2007 09:05 AM

They're beginner cymbals.

440561 02-25-2007 09:07 AM

Yeah I know. I was looking through the kits and I like the look of Pro Sonix. Are they any good?

ant_182 02-25-2007 09:09 AM

Again, beginner-intermediate cymbals.

Buying cheap means buying twice.

Banshee 02-25-2007 09:44 AM

If you want sabian go AAX/HHX

I got my 16" AAXplosion for £113!

440561 02-25-2007 10:33 AM

Are they quite versatile cymbals?

Because im in a rock band at the moment. But if that doesnt go right then I wanna join/start a heavier band. Would HHX/AAX be good in most situations?

Cheers

Drum Phil 02-25-2007 10:34 AM

HHX, probably not.

AAX yes.

17" A Custom crash? I just bought mine for $135 plus $15 shipping.

440561 02-26-2007 01:20 AM

Thats like £70, bargain!

Cjc1706 02-26-2007 09:17 AM

Hey,

ant_182 02-26-2007 12:14 PM

what are some small hats good for that computer beat like tick sounds?

440561 02-26-2007 02:36 PM

2 10" splashes can sometimes sounds pretty cool!

edit: and fishbulb-where did you get it from?

edit2: are any of these zildjians any good: zxt, zht and zbt?

Cos Ive heard people flaming others cos of having the, i just wondered what was wrong with them???

ant_182 02-26-2007 03:00 PM

They're beginger line cymbals. The ZHTs are very good cymbals IMO. I compared the ZHT Mastersounds to the A Custom Mastersounds. Is there £120 difference in it?... No. Best to avoid the ZXT's and ZBTs.


-Ant-

Drum Phil 02-26-2007 03:05 PM

Some ZHT's arent bad.

ZXT's and ZBT's are overpriced garbage

ant_182 02-26-2007 03:09 PM

Someone said 10" Splashes. Also small hats closed real tight.

440561 02-26-2007 03:29 PM

Drumwright.co.uk: "Splashes and crashes - ZHT 16 inch Crash *** 10th Anniversary Sale *** £ 65.40 "

So should I get it? Is it one of the good ZHTs?

Cheers everyone

ant_182 02-26-2007 03:43 PM

you NEED to listen to cymbals like that I'm afraid.


-Ant-

440561 02-26-2007 03:56 PM

Ok, but my music store is **** lol.

Sorry but if you only stock zildjian ZXTs and Sabian B8s then Im not gonna go to your store, stupid effing nevada.

ant_182 02-26-2007 03:58 PM

Ok, so I was talking to one of my friends during lunch today, and he asked me if I wanted to buy his 9.5" zil-bel, and I asked if I can bring it home to try it out. Turns out he brought it to school and happily handed it over to me. Here are a few pics:

Yeah, it's so damn dirty and it has a bit of scratches, but I'm digging the sound it's giving me. Anyways, he's willing to sell it for 90 USD, but I think I can bargain it down to 50 bucks or so.


So, my question is: Should I go for it, or give it back?

Tim 02-26-2007 10:46 PM

you can get a brand new one for $90. talk him down to 50.

saars 02-26-2007 11:01 PM

mass music and musicians friend both have em for 104 USD. But yeah, I'll try and get it down to 50.

LoneStarDrummer 02-26-2007 11:54 PM

tell him $50 and settle for no more than $70. shoot for about $65 or less and you've got yourself a pretty good deal.

DrummingBen 02-27-2007 12:30 AM

Anyone got a opinion on meinl soundcaster custom medium crashes?

440561 02-27-2007 09:59 AM

What are your opinions on Wuhans?

They look good and are reasonably cheap.

stevensonmat2 02-27-2007 10:22 AM

I have a 16" china and a 12" china from them, they sound great. I hate their splashes though, the sound so gongy.
