[QUOTE=Plan B.]Maybe the Carmine Appice devastation Chinese too.[/QUOTE]

hells no! thats the direct opposite of what he's looking for.

mine is brash, VERY bright, and not too pleasent sounding (for a china)

:lol:

You're right, I played one the other day and it was very brash.

More like a John Blackwell Signature Chinese then.

i wanna try one of those. should be really dirty sounding, and dry....given the absence of a bell and its unlahtedness.

Yeah, it's gnarly as hell. I almost bought one.

Dry, nice and dark, but smooth too.

DO NOT post anything about cymbals in this thread.[/QUOTE]

Please people read the initial post and stay on subject. You are not supposed to talk about cymbals in this thread. I know, it says ***The Cymbal Finder***, but bobby__johnny even requested not to post about cymbals. Don't ask me, ask him. I'm just trying to keep the boards and threads on subject. :lol:

Thanks for your time! :lol: :lol:

i fail to see the humor in that....seeing as the original post said nothing of the sort.

Like the man said. And I know funny, I just saw Pulp Fiction again.

Well, too bad you didn't get anything funny out of it. I just realized that I could change the text in the quote and tried it to see if it worked.

**** off pal. your not funny at all.

I am currently looking a splash like a 8 or 10 inch and use sabians any suggestions?

have a price range and pitch preferance?

Looking for versatile, dark cymbals. Working to save up money for the right cymbals. I have only been playing for one year though. Mostly rock and jazz music.
Just a few questions. Do thick cymbals last longer than thin? I mean, are they less susceptible to cracking, or is there no difference?

I've been looking around a few shops and prices are absurd in the UK compared to in the US. So I've had a look at online places and ebay.

the K constantinope for £249

20" K custom session ride for £175

What do you think of these prices for the cymbals? I'm in no rush to buy and will save up. Thanks

cracking should not be of concern as long as you play smartly.

having said that, be smart in your decisions. dont buy thin *** cymbals for metal.

for your rock/jazz playing, look for a medium weight cymbal.....perhaps an HHX Groove ride?

I dont have a much a price range nothin to expencive though

I am Looking for a ride that has alot!! of ping and maybe a little resonance.. the brands i am looking between is sabian and zildjian.. thx guys.

EDIT: And has a nice crisp loud shiny sounding bell.

well I honestly don't have much experience with zildjian or sabian, but I own a meinl mb20 heavy bell ride, and the bell is loud as hell, I love it. So if you aren't married to those two brands check it out, its rather expensive though, I got mine for around $300

Ok...there's not a music store anywhere around here, so I'm making the big trip up to Atlanta later to go to guitar center to buy a ride. I've been pretty much set on a Paiste 2002...can't search the topic so yeah. I mostly play for myself, it could get used in some jazz band performance possibly. My other cymbals are all mismatched, the ones I'm using right now are from the 70s that I got out of the bandroom, assorted Paiste and Zildjians. But there's no ride in there so I'm buying one. So tell me what you think, anyone.

2002 Very nice and verstatile ride

What would be the best ride for under $150? I don't want anything that sounds like the Sabian AA Medium ride (I don't know how to describe the sounds very well.) I like the HHX rides... but they cost a lot. Any cheaper alternatives?

[/QUOTE]

In a way yes, in a way no.

Yes: they're thicker so it would be harder to crack it from normal playing

No: with it being a thicker cymbal you have to hit it harder to get a more musical sound out it (generally crashes) so more chance of cracking

Ok, I'm looking for a crash, a ride, or a crash/ride, that has really good stick definition when you ride on it, and really nice punch and moderate amount of decat when crashed. Preferably from the Big Three, as they are easiest to get around here.

Thanks,

[-Draz-]

Crash - AA Medium Crash...in the nrighbourhood of 17"

ride - AA Rock Ride.

Thanks, GC is holding one for me, 22" for $160

Im looking for some new hats and im thinking either Sabian or Meinl. Particularly the Meinl Amun Hats has anyone tried these?

I want 16' Crash and a 20' Ride that has a dark sound but loud....so it's good for playing rock or punk...something very versital...and the Crash dis-a-pate quickly

P.S.

That isn't too expensive...i'm on a tight buget :rolleyes:
