yea...dont get them

why?

I'm looking for a funky sounding crash and splash from the Istanbul series? Anyone got any advice?

funky sounding isnt very descriptive.

[QUOTE=NCDrummer]why?[/QUOTE]

easily put, they suck.

[QUOTE=bobby__johnny]easily put, they suck.[/QUOTE]

yea thers really no easy answer besides they suck and they are too much money for such poopish cymbals

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]Moon used Sound Edge. I read what his setup was on a site once.[/QUOTE]

Do you know what size his were?

How come people always say Paiste cymbals are really consistant? Aren't they all partly handmade?

Ok, I'm looking for a smallish cymbal, 14 or 15 inch, that's just...obnoxious, I guess is the word I'm looking for, loud, lots of overtones, long decay, it's to sort or crash ride on, like play 8th notes on, kinda thing, I guess...doesn't matter what brand or anything.

Any wuhan china. The bigger the more annoying and trashy.

NOO. They are made out of huge sheets and they are cookie cuttered out. Im not sure if all of them are made like this but i know for a fact that sigs are made like this.

Yeah, but to get something with longer decay I'd have to get like, a 22inch, and I want something reasonably small to boom in kinda above my ride, I tried out my 12 inch and 16 inch wuhans for this already and they were close, but not exactly what I'm looking for.

Paiste have a very strict quality control.

[QUOTE=forgottenDRUMMER]Whats a good china that would go well with my 18inch AA?[/QUOTE]

i assume you mean your 18" AA China right?

cant go wrong in adding a 14" or 16" china of some sort....

yea i meant 18inch AA china

What does the 21" AAX Stage Ride sound like? I found for real cheap and I am considering buying it.

Also what are some good questions to ask when buying a used cymbal?

dont ask questions...aside from "how old is it?"

just look for obvious damage (cracks, keyholes, dents etc..) Play it. if you dont like it, dont buy it.

Look for cracks and keyholing.

Oh are you buying online or something?

Hi guys,

yeah i'm lookin to buy my first set of proffesional cymbals preferably Sabian or Zildjian. I've looked at Sabain AAX and Zildjian A-Customs but im open to any suggestions...

mmmmm sabian AAXstage crash. mmmmm. A custom crashes are good too.

Sabian HHX. Top notch Sabian cymbals that sound incredible. I love the rides and have heard good things about the Groove Hats.

mix and match what you like....you could end up with a total mix of something like AAX Stage Hats, A Zildjian Ping Ride, and A Custom Projection crash

I'm looking for a thin bright crash cymbal. Nothing paper thin though.
