Paiste novo china

I'm getting a 12" byzance splash, what would be a good combo with this for hi hats?

get hats to match your ride. not your splash

No he means another splash to make hi hats with lol

I'm interested in some cymbals that go along good with laid back jam music. Much to the likings of Jack Johnson, or Animal Liberation Orchestra. Some crashes that don't require heavy hitting to provide quality smooth, warm sounds. I noticed ALOs drummer uses istanbuls, but I have no idea what make. Do they make good hi-hats?

hhx groove or stage hats would make great pair for that. AAX stage crashes dont require a beating either.

AAX are bright though, no? He wants something warmer.

something warmer yes. I have some A custom hats right now which are to bright for my likes, I would like warmer, maybe a little washy hats. I don't even know what I want in a ride, so I'm going to try and make it to a GC this month and see what I like.

-Paiste Traditionals Medium Light Hats, a soft pronounced stick sound with a warm n meaty chick sound

-Paiste Twenty Medium Light Hats, They do only come in 16" size but they do have a warm and mellow stick sound and a deep chick. A longer sustain than normal due to their size but nice overall

I'll see if I can try those out when I got to GC. Thanks

GC's selection of cymbals in stock on the floor is not very good (especially for Paistes) so more than likely you won't even see those cymbals.

Crud, where could I hear what these cymbals sound like?

Shame. Both good hats

Right I'm going to treat myself to a new ride. I'm just stuck on what to get. I have a platinum ride, and an a sweet ride. I am definately keeping the platinum. I am loooking into the 22" A Custom Rides. I'll probably crashride it and I'd like it fairly bright. Any others I should look at? I would prefer to stay with Zildjian as I'm really familiar with their products and I can get them easier. I'll probably try some out in a couple of weeks :) Just want to get an idea. I've tried a 20" 2002 ride and that was lovely(use it for drum lessons. But it isn't the sound I'm after :) Cheers in advane

something that is warm and explosive that i can ride the crap out of it without it breaking in 6 months

not a crash ride though

nothing should break in 6months if you have the right technique...?

This^

This.

that :D

And the other?

im looking for a new ride. Something for metal. Cutting, bright and pingy. Loud, big bell.

preferably 22"

Sabian HH Power Bell Ride maybe

Can I ask why it needs to be 22"?

T

because i want something with a bigger sound than a 20

oliv, i'll check that out.

Cool man It's a nice ride

Maybe A Custom Ping Ride? Or The check out the Z Custom Rides?

My 2002 Paiste Heavy Ride sounds pretty close to what you described.

i've been thinking of a z custom ride. Gonna try some out eventually.

Fishy, how does it cut live? Would it cut through 2 huge stacks?

Yes they do
