What would be good, versatile ride and crash cymbals that would sound good with zildjian new beat hi hats in the $100 - $200 range?

Bobby:

Do you think the 20" AA Medium Ride would make a suitable large crash?
Any other lines I should like at for something along those lines?

Cobalt: I would say A custom crashes, not too familiar with rides though.

I swear to God, the 20" AAX stage ride has the best crash ever. Seriously. Try it out. I would even consider getting one just as a crash, not a ride.

no seet ride has a better crash

Thank you stevoibanez, I'll remember to check those out!

no, definetley try the 21 sweet ride it was made for crashing(not sure but it sounds like it was made with crashing in mind)

^^ I'll have to try one out sometime.

What are wavy bottom hi-hat cymbals for? Do they make the "chick" more pronounced?

Also do they crack more easily if the bottom is wavy? A guy on musiciansfriend said he went through two or three pairs of 2002 Sound edge hats in a year because of cracking.

^^ He must have ****ty technique
Wavy edges reduce airlock (in other words, suction, when you close your hats then open them, they kinda stay together?). I think they are also faster and more precise than regular hats

Whats about the smallest ride u can get?

I'm relatively new to drums, so I'm getting a ride now,
i play from rock to blues, so i'd need one that can cover
many sounds, could I have some advice please..

Well unless you custom order one, 18" is the smallest ride you can get.

thanx

if your somewhat new to drums, and dont know what your looking for, look into a medium weight 20" ride.

I want a mid-low priced crash that makes a dark, but not too dark and long sound.

I mostly play rock and metal.

Wuhans! Or a 100 year old B8 cymbal!

Depending on what you consider low, I would look into AAX dark crash.

between 50 and 140 bucks

cool i looked em up. thanks guys

^^You could prob get a 16" AAX dark crash

:) thanks

I own a paiste alpha 16" medium-heavy china thats good for both heavy and not so heavy music. i rate 'em.

whats the usual price range for a cymbal like that?

well since youre playing mostly punk i wouldnt get the paragon. Id stick with the vault or the stage. I have the 16inch stage and i love it.
