I could buy a used 14'' AA china for 80$ CND, is that a good deal? Cause I know someone who's selling it. The cymbals is really clean, there's just some finger marks. He didnt played it a lot cause he's more a guitarist.

i dont know...you could get a new one off of the internet for not much more....

Get a 12" Wuhan China instead. Almost as big as a 14", and much much cheaper.

...or get a 14" wuhan....thats the same size. :lol:

^^ hahaha, I already have a 12'' wuhan, but sometimes I find it too small. I think I'll get a 16'' later.

finally I'll exchange my 14'' pro hats for the AA china plus 50$

i think you should step up to an 18" if you have a 12". 18" is probably more versatile than any other chinese size.

bah.. I wanted to sell my pro hats since a long time, and now I got another china and 50$.. I'm happy lol

Well, 12" Wuhans are much more common and dirt cheap at GC (even though I absolutly hate that place).

I want a ride that will give me a nice "ping sound" and doesn't ring forever, my ZXT right now doesn't give me a good sound, and rings forever, so yeah. Thanks.

A. Zildjian Ping Ride...21" if you can get one.....

any ring you will hear, will be drowned out by any accompianing guitars/basses.

You can't get a 21" ping ride, only 20"and 22". I have a 20" and theres alto of overtones, but yes it will be killed by the guitars, it got a nice ping, and makes a fat crash as well.

I'm pretty sure they make 21" A Pings, as I hear about them all the time. Then again, they offered 17" AA Medium Crashes on musicianfriends, and none of the stores in my area stocked or were able to stock them (meaning they don't really exist unless you custom order).

if a store tells you they cant get a 17" AA Medium Crash, its either because of 1.) They do not carry ANY Sabian Product. or 2.) They Lied.

for just about any sabian crash, 17" is a more than available size.

I am looking at a Zildjian A 19" Rock crash, I was wondering would this be a good main crash for rock and metal?

To the above two posts....

I actually prefer medium weights over rock weights....their plenty heavy, plus being lighter then the rock weights will be more verstaile.

To BobbyJohnny.....

When I called to about six stores in my area, every single one (except one, which was all Zildjs) stocked or could stock 16" or 18" Medium AA crashes....I was in the market for a 17", but no one could have one. That's where I ended up with my 18", which I'm perfectly happy for :thumb:

What are some good reliable Meinl brands, but nothing super expensive, I want a nice sound overall and everywhere I go they don't stock Meinl cymbals, only place i've seen them would be Musiciansfriend that has a good selection of them...

I realize it might be hard to tell me from the information given, just let me know what you need to know and I shall explain as best I can.

im thinking of getting some zildjian zxt cymbals u no the silver titanium ones but i dont no if they sound any good cause i play punk/metal so i need some thing u can hear but with a clean smooth sound

You can look at the Amun, and maybe soundcaster, the Amuns are an affordable line, from what i've been looking at so far

well, as long as your happy right? but sabian DOES make 17" AA Meidums as a circulation size...its not a custom job or anything.

I ordered 20" K Pre-Aged Dry Light Ride...will be here in about 2 weeks.. yeehee.

So anyone played this piece of bronze before?

Have you played it?

I want a ride cymbal that will sound good with my XS20 crash. I want it to be kinda dark and washy, but if that sound only comes with money than I don't want it. The max I want to spend is $125, but anything cheaper is good. Thanks.

might want to look into the XS20 Medium Ride....or maybe A Paiste Innovations Ride of some sort...i hear they are a warm sounding line.

I was just wondering, like this, is there a ride that is dark but with not a lot of overtone?

^ A Dimensions Dry ride comes to mind.

the Hand Hammered Raw Dry Ride is quite dark and pronounced.

[QUOTE=Plan B.]Have you played it?[/QUOTE]

Yes

I remember hearing it a long time ago, and I forget what I thought of it.

Hi, i was thinking of buying a paiste signature dry ride but unfortunately my local store doesnt sell paiste so I can't go and hear for myself. Ill have to buy it online. I think i can get a used one for a little more than an aax dry ride and I like the sound of those but I think I want to try a cymbal from a different company. So I was wondering how a paiste sig. dry ride compares to an aax dry ride. thanks
