All right, this is a big job.

I want a sound of classic metal-kinda progish but I still want the cymbals to be applicable to other times of music. I don't care about a budget. The set up would be:

Hi-Hats

Ride

Crash 1

Crash 2

Crash 3

Effects 1

Effects 2

Effects 3

Effects Ride 4

I would like it one step up with only Zildjian and another with all Sabian. (So I can choose and pick from these companies. Don't give any Wuhan, paiste or any others; I just want a Zildjian setup or a Sabian.)

As in, here are the cymbals you'd want from Zildjian, and here is the kind you would like from Sabian.

[QUOTE=groomits]Not long ago I bought a 15 AAX dark crash and I love it. now I'm looking to change my 16'' AA rock cause I don't like it. What would fit really well with the dark crash. maybe the 17'' of the same model? I want something dark, explosive, that will sound more than the 15''.[/QUOTE]

maybe 17 K dark crash thin

[QUOTE=spiritII]Do you have a budget? What styles are you going to play with it? Are you a brand whore? Do you have other cymbals you'd like it to blend with? Anything else you think would help us to help?[/QUOTE]

I'm thinking about getting another splash for my kit. I already have a 10" Stagg Myra splash, and was looking at getting an 8" splash as well. I want a short and high pitched sound and was looking at a Zildjian A splash, but if anyone has any other sugestions hit me with them.

The 8" Stagg SH splash is quite nice, although it's got a bit much sustain for my tastes. Gotta love the Sabian AAX 8" splash for really short cutting sounds, I find it a great accent cymbal

Thank you and the others who helped.

today I was repeting for a song that we'll play at school. and it was the first time I saw that drumkit of the school. and what did I saw?? a 20" paiste signature dry ride and a K custom 14'' hi hat. man I didnt know my shcool had enough budget to buy these. I think at the end of the school year, I'll steal it lol

I've gone with this based one all your suggestions.

Hi Hats: 13" HHX Groove Hi-Hat
Ride: 20" AA Medium Heavy Ride
Crash 1: 15" AAX Dark Crash
Crash 2: 17" AAX plosion Crash
Crash 3: 17" Vault Crash
Effects 1: 10" AA Splash
Effects 2: 14" HHX Evolution Mini-Chinese
Effects 3: 20" HH Dark Chinese
Effects Ride: 19" Sig. V-FX Ride

This comes out around $1,575. Well, a little work I can get this.

Sorry about the bumping i was in an impatient mood. Any other suggestions?

A jazz/grooving type ride, thick, good stick def., and not to many overtones.

AA Flat hats, AAX Fast hats, AA/AAX/Hand Hammered Fusion Hats

Effects 3: 20" HH Dark Chinese
Effects Ride: 19" Sig. V-FX Ride

I have a hard time finding these cymbals for sale, anyone know of a place that carries them?

Whats the different sound characteristics of a flat ride compared to a normal bell ride? I heard a flat ride once and it sounded good, so I am curious.

they are much dryer and crisper sounding. The bell is what gives a cymbal its overtones and volume. thats why Dry rides gennerally have small bells, and why flat rides never project as much as the same ride with a bell.

You may have to get your store to order them in. If they're going to get such a big purchase out of you, most stores would be happy to, I'm sure (I got my store to order me in a *splash*... all the way from Canada to the UK :))

Martin

all of Sabians cymbals come from Canada ;)

[QUOTE=punker101nofxrancid]A jazz/grooving type ride, thick, good stick def., and not to many overtones.[/QUOTE]

K Custom High Definition Ride.

A massively cutting china that still has some nice dark overtones and can be ridden on easily.
