haha. ilu twinny.

I think you said you had New Beats, Ping Ride and two A Medium-thin crashes? That's what I have. And a china.

Serio? wow, good pick by me. Nah I've got Ks/K Customs/Wuhans. You've got good taste though.

13" K/Z Hats
12" Wuhan/K Hats
20" Wuhan Medium-Thin Ride
22" K Heavy Ride
19" K China
16" K Custom Special Dry Crash
8"/10" Wuhan Tradtional Splash
10" A Splash

I want to get a nice medium-thin crash, A probably, what you think?

Byzance ;-)

I've got a 6" Byzance Splash on the way in the mail as we speak. kekeke.

18" Byzance medium-thin crash = Secks

Though the darks would blend well with your other stuff

I was thinking an A because I want something a bit brighter [comparatively speaking].
I've got the dark side of my cymbals covered, just want something nice and balanced.

Byzance brilliants?

I'd stick with a K or HHX series crash for what you have there.

Thanks for the advice so far. Iskandar/Bobby; it's to replace a 16" HHX Power Crash. I love that crash, but it doesn't pair well with my K Custom.

Had a bit of a search; what you guys think of a Ufip Class/Experience/Extatic Crash to add to my setup?

Why not another K Custom?

ufip naturals are creamworthy

[quote=Iskandar;16598555]Why not another K Custom?[/quote]
you're a genius! hehe. dunno why i thought of another K, haha. what model do you think?

Medium-Thin Crash, of course.:)

kekeke will czech them out. cheers.

I'm currently trying to find cymbals for the drum kit at church (currently has 2 stands but no cymbals except for the HiHat).

Being a church drum kit, is wont be played hard at all (most of the time with plastic brushes ([url]http://www.omegamusic.nl/flix/smorange.jpg[/url]) and wont be played for than twice a week. And the churches are small (100 people max) so it's not like the huge churches some of you americans are used to.

Biggest issue is price (2 crashes and a ride for around £100), and value for money. I'm scouring ebay for bargains, but I've never owned a kit (I'm a self-taught guy who plays on a yamaha dd55 drum machine), and so am unsure what is a good deal, what to look for etc.

I've been told to look out for B8's which I understand are good beginner level cymbals, as well as for bargain inter/pro level cymbals. I've also found a lot of Paiste 101's and am very tempted but what I've been told so far hasn't been great though it has also been very vague - can people confirm how suitable 101's are for the use I need of them?

Currently on ebay, there are 2 good cymbals ending in the next day:
Sabian AA Medium Thin 17 inch Crash Cymbal
Sabian AAX Stage Crash Cymbal 16
For a total of £80 inc. shipping. Considering I need a ride plus a stand, is it really worth paying another £50 (churches arent made of money over here) for what they are needed for (please remember the context guys!).

And I've found a Sabian Pro Sonix Ride for £28 with a day and a bit to go, which I'm almost definitely going to go for unless someone advises against it. (edits post again) and theres also a 16" Crash from the same guy for a similar price.

Thanks in advance for any opinions (and please be quick, the thin crash closes in an hour!).

Pro Sonix are decent. I recorded with then once.

Hey matt.

:D

To clarify: the 101's, while okay cymbals, are not nearly as good as they used to be. It's possible that you would buy them and regret it not too much later.

Next time a good cymbal like that comes up on eBay, snatch it up. However, try and get a good ride first. Personally, I would rather have a good ride and one good crash than a good/decent ride and two decent crashes.

I have pro sonix hats and a pro sonix crash and both are great for the price.

Hey crazyguy - sorry for coming here, wanted extra opinions as noone else was bothering at MX and with a few items ending soon wanted opinions quickly :P

Didnt get the AAX Crash, outbidded at the last second, when if I'd listened to my head and rebidded a couple of quid more to counter I would have got it... I'm such an ebay amateur :D

Don't apologize, haha, I would've done the same if only one person replied to my topic.

Ah, well, eBay's a bitch, there's a reason I pretty much avoid it.

I replied too >.> In a manner of speaking.

@ Phil, not at new-MX, thats where I originally posted.

Woot... got a £44 Pro Sonix Crash (inc. P&P). Missed out on 2 Rides and 2 other crashes so far (I'm new at eBay, so my tactics aren't great so far - keep leaving it too late and bidding when closed XD).

It's good to watch similar items to see how much they are going for so you can judge a good deal when you see one.

When i bought a crash for myself on eBay i spent a month testing the waters to find a good deal.

Well considering most Paiste 101's, Planet Z's and Solars are going for not much less and the RRP is around £90 more... I say good deal (though admittedly it looks unlike I'm gonna get 3 good cymbals for under £100).
