ohh.

Whoops. I guess I need to read more :p

'Afternoon, gents. Could anybody reccomend me a modern day equivalent to one of them there 70s swish cymbals? Or at least a 20" china that's good for riding and would work well with rivets drilled in?

I thought Zildjian still made China Swishes.

they do

The only thing I've found is a so called "Swish knocker" which only comes in 22" size. So far I think I'm gonna go for a 20" A high china and put some rivets in it.

What exactly is the use / sound of a swish cymbal? Any songs use it etc?

Well. Zildjian DOES make Swish Knockers and Swishes, but it is really hard to find modern swishes for sale. Ebay would be your best bet to find one.

A china that could work well would be a China High/Low because that is basically what a Swish Knocker is, just with a shitload of rivets.

With rivets they have a nice wispy, sizzling kind of sound and can also be used for alternative rides. One can be heard being crashed in "Limelight" by Rush in the chorus.

But like Meaningless said I think I'll get a 20" china high and stick about 10 or so rivets in it

Good plan ;)

It might also save you some money as well.

The A chinas are really nice in any case... I want to get one, either that or the oriental, but I can only find the china trash rather than the classic, and they only have about 2% sustain.

You could special order one.

Just a thought.

You guys know what china Vinnie was using when he played at Modern Drummer in 2000? It doesn't look like an Oriental, but I'm not sure. Thanks..

i think it's an a custom china

i have one!

They made a 22" A Custom once?

I think it's a 20"

Yeah, I think. Do you have any pics of yours? It'd help me compare. I really love that sound though.

i don't have any shots of it directly but i have some kit shots with the china in it:

Thanks a lot man. I think I've had enough of the Orientals for awhile(I've got two). What size is your A Custom China?

20" mother, biggest they got!

Whats the specs on that thang?
Or did I miss it already...

Haha, sorry.

Oh, so many different ones there, those are really old pix

19"K thin crash
15" K custom
AAX stage hats
18" A Med. crash
a custom flat ride

I need some help. Im looking into getting a 10" splash, with a bright sound, durable for playing rock or metal. Any Meinl series, thanks.

The MB10 splash or MB20 rock splash would fit the bill i believe.

check out the zildjian a custom splash(10 in)

its the best ive seen and it really cuts through

im looking for a china cymbal. i play modern rock to metal to some christian rock. idk much about what sound i want b/c i dont have a lot of experience with them. i have a custom cymbals so something that will blend well. i liked the sound of the k customs but that was over the internet so who knows @_@

K custom hybrid.

K Custom Hybrid indeed.

^ sounds good to me. thx guys. any second and third choices just for reference and something to compare the sound too. now i gotta ask choice of stand? do i need a boom or just a regular or what? something pearl. lin?

oh yea did i mention they just look freaking sweet too lol
