OOOohhhh..

[QUOTE=ygokazuki;15588857]any recommendations for a ride with a loud bell thats good for recording?
i've a Wuhan 20" S now and it's way too washy. would like to spend around 200 if possible.
thanks in advance[/QUOTE]
so I've done some research and quite like the Z Custom ride and the AAX Metal ride. What are your opinions on these?
Thanks.

Z Custom Ride isn't bad, nor is the AAX Metal Ride.

But... loud bell? ANY professional ride will be good for recording (some may be a little more difficult, but they'll all work.

AA Raw Bell ride is AMAZING. As well, the A Ping Ride has a [i]really[/i] nice bell sound. Finally, look into Chris Adler's ride (as a man who only cares about the ride bell... you know it's good :thumb: ).

thanks for the quick respons!
AA Raw Bell was suggested to me, but imo was too washy. (then again this is only by listening to soundclips)
the A ping looks cool too tho, thanks for the pointer (listening to soundclips, sound kinda washy with a lot of high overtones...idk not what I was goin for)
and the chris adler ride is way outta my range lol, like 450.
thx again

O_O

THOSE

CLIPS

ARE

LIES

The AA Raw Bell and A Ping are two of the LEAST washy rides I have EVER heard.

Trust me on this one. You play with either of those rides at a half-decent volume level with guitars going, there is NO wash being heard. I don't even mean metal volume. I mean amped PERIOD. Church worship level stuff.

And, I mean, god DAMN it... the A [i]PING[/i] ride!!! The A Custom Ping ride, yes, has a lot of wash. But just the straight A Ping ride... god damn it. Besides being the greatest ride evar, it is PING!!! >_<

woa that was emphatic lol. thanks much for the info, appreciate it!

Having a 22" Pinger, it does have ping, but its by no means dead. You can check out any of my audio here [url]http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandid=771271&content=music[/url] if you wanted to hear what it sounds like with guitars going in a musical context.

thanks, I listened to Cold, sounded great! pretty much how I want it haha.
so would you say the AA Raw Bell sounds similar to the 22 Ping? Can't quite afford the latter.

Ummm... where I am, the two rides are about the same price.

Look into the 20" A Ping. It's bother cheaper and (imho, just barely) sounds better than the 22".

^_^

The AA Raw Bell is a MUCH different ride from the A Ping. It has a very distinct bell and crashes much differently.

Really, as with anything musical, try em both out and decide which one you like more.

You could also possibly look into a HH Raw Bell, although that'd probably be a little too dark for your tastes. Personally, I'm going to be picking up a HH Raw Bell at some point in the future to compliment my A Ping Ride... as well as a K Custom Ride.

<_<

>_>

I swear that's it, though!

my bad on the price, you're right.
I would indeed like a very distinct bell, but I don't plan on crashing on it, as that's one of the main reasons I'm buying a ride - to use my Wuhan S 20" ride as the crash it really seems to be.
I was lookin at the HH raw bell too, it's too expensive tho.
I need to try the Z Custom, AA Raw Bell, and A Ping, basically...ugh, how I loathe guitar center. oh well.

AA Raw Bell > ZBT Ride > Ping Ride.

Seriously.

o_O

No.

Just........... no.

[QUOTE=As The Roots Undo;15624547]AA Raw Bell > ZBT Ride > Ping Ride.

Seriously.[/QUOTE]

You are not serious.

I can understand liking washy rides more. BUt saying a ZBT owns a Ping...no, sorry.

You want washy? Get the 24" K Light Ride; now that's washy.

I would stear clear of Z Custom rides to be honest. They're far too restrictive and only useful as second rides.

Im rather partial to the Sabian HH Rock Ride

thanks very much for your input. HH stuff is too expensive, but I appreciate your thoughts on the Z custom

Nothing is too expensive. You're paying for quality man. Z customs are pants

[QUOTE=oliv_da_skinmasher;15631292]Z customs are pants[/QUOTE]
I...don't...know...if that's good or not! *head explodes*

Neither do I.

Pants, TMK, is bad.

But Z Customs arent [I]bad[/I]. They just arent versatile.

20" Z Custom China.

Considering it's Zildjian's only china I really like (and I REALLY like it), you gotta give the Z Custom line some props.

Rest of the line is ballz.

XD

the only Z Customs I like are the Thrash Ride, Mega bell ride and the chinas.

That mega bell ride is okay, but if I was to get a ride like that, I'd rather get Adler's.

That thing's a beast.

\m/>_<\m/

mkay, I'm going for either AA raw bell dry, 20" A ping, or AAX metal...hmm....

Yes, yes, no.

Is this your first ride?

If so, the AAX-Metal is a [i]little[/i] too unversatile, imo. HOWEVER, if it's your fav of the three, by all means grab it, it's a great ride.

2nd ride - I started out with a Wuhan S pack, I like its hat and crash but the ride is way washy so I'm making it a rightside crash.

Wuhans don't count.

XD

oi **** you :P
im thinkin AA...it seems to be held in very high esteem, and recommendations from MX have never let me down before :)

Man a guy was playing a Z Custom China at a gig the other night... it sounded so good.

Mine does.

I love my Z Custom china too much.
