So my local drum store is having a sale on paiste dimentions. A heavy ride goes for 170 US. Is that good?

Pretty good. Generally i think of pro level rides going for $200 and up.

Speaking of rides, anyone have any experience with the 22" K Ride? I like the 20", but it sounds too similar to my K Hybrid, so I figured a bigger size would mean a bigger, slightly lower sound.

Berk has a K Heavy ride so he might have looked into the K ride and K Hybrids as well.

Give him a holla.

Yeah, the 24" Light Ride is going to be way too hard to control and on the wallet for me.

Steal it?

Then again it is a 24" cymbal so it would be hard to conceal that, but maybe if...

22" is darker and more metallic than the 20".

Yeah, that's what I'd like, a darker sound then the Hybrid. I really need to find some other sound clip then Zildjian's. Hopefully they'll have one in Chicago.

hey,

im looking for a match for my current A custom 18" crash. Im thinking of either going for a 19" A custom, another 18" A Custom, a 19" Avendis Med / Thin crash or an 18" Advendis Med/Thin crash ?

What do you guys think. I may treat myself to two of the above so please let me know what you think

Cheers

CJ

I personally wouldn't get two of the same exact crash. Maybe the same size but a different line like a Projection or a Fast?

yeah, im leaning more toward the 18 A Crash (Thin/Med) or the 19" version of it. Just hope that it will mix well with the A custom :eek:

Cheers

Hey,

I'm looking for a ride cymbal that has a nice ping to it and can be used to crash on when needed and will fit in nicely with heavy rock styled music.

I currently own a 20" Z Custom ride and hate it... Looking for something a fair bit lighter with more wash to it.

Cheers

hmmm, pingy and crashable? Gonna be a hard to find combination. My 22" A Ping Ride is pingy but it sucks as a crash. Maybe the 20" might work better.

^ K Heavy Ride. Won't be super pingy, but certainly enough for rock music, with a nice crash sound.

When you said ping i thought a heavy ride, but when you said wash and crash i thought a thinner ride.

What are the sweet rides like? For some reason that came to my mind.

Sweet rides are all wash and no definition.

So just ugly.

Maybe an A Medium Ride.

[QUOTE=ludvista29;14921689]Maybe an A Medium Ride.[/QUOTE]

yes, and use nylon tip for additional pinginess.

Ouch, nylon tips suck, but it will probably help your pinginess.

Mos Def.

hey,
i'm looking to upgrade my B8 ride. I don't have much of an idea about how size affects sound, but i would like a ride with clean,clear stick definition with a fairly bright sound. I play two bands, one playing grindcore and one indie(ish) band.
thanks for any help

Try them out!!! the Paiste 2002s are lovely, I would get a 22" or 20" :)

thanks man, i really would but i don't know a shop near me that i can try cymbals out at.I'm living pretty rural here :p
are the paiste soundclips worth listening to?

Yes. Paiste are the only manufacturer I know of that aim for and achieve consistency within all their models in all their ranges.

right, thanks. any other rides i could look into?

Paiste 2002, Signature

Zildjian K/Custom

Sabian AAX/HHX/HH

Yes, Paiste soundclips are real accurate.

I'm getting a 2oo2 Heavy ride 20". I want a nice bright ping with lots of stick definition and little wash and the 2oo2 Heavy Ride pretty much fits the bill.
