sure it would work, but the Hand Hammered would blend better with your existing cymbals

which is the best wuhan spalsh? (is s series the western thing?)

^^^ neither are better. they both have different sounds, you have to choose which you like more.

logical harm i was joking Lol i am a brand whore too im sticking with Sabian aswell

I'm not a brand whore. I own Sabian, Zildjian, Istanbul, and Wuhan, and except for the Wuhan, one of each :thumb: two wuhans here....

[QUOTE=an_original_name]^^^ neither are better. they both have different sounds, you have to choose which you like more.[/QUOTE]

yeah but I don' t know if I will be able to try them so I should need some advice!

What are your opinions on the A Zildjian Medium Thin Crash as opposed to the A Zildjian Medium Crash? I've heard some people say the A Zildjian Medium crash is a strict rock beast, which I don't think would be a wise choice for me. I play classic rock at home and in the high school jazz band.

P.S. Anyone ever break/ding an A Zildjian Medium Thin Crash? Thanks!!!

I broke my first crash cymbal which was a Zildjian medium thin but that was a long time a go. If you want a multipurpose crash I would get a medium thin bur I dont think the mediums are just rock cymbals.

I own a Sabian AA Medium crash, which is quite similar, if not almost exactly like, the Zildjian A. I love it, its very versatile.

You won't go wrong with either medium-thin or medium though. Whichever one you prefer.

faie enuf, i'm just looking to set up the basics for my pro cymbal selection and i will be purchasing a wuhan 12" and 18" china ;)

i was wondering are sabian xs cymbals gud...?

the medium will have a bit more attack and presence, but the medium-thin will be a bit more faster sounding.

has anyone tried the istanbul samatya series? in particular the 14" hats?

opinions?

I've never heard of that series of Istanbul. Is it an Agop, Mehmet, or something completly different?

Never heard of Istanbul :o

[QUOTE=Drummer54]Never heard of Istanbul :o[/QUOTE]

then why post?

and seafroggys, they are from the mehmet factory

[QUOTE=Drummer54]Never heard of Istanbul :o[/QUOTE]


slap!

:smash:
:upset:

Ok im thinking about getting a Wuhan china but dont know anything about them so could someone suggest a decent one?

They are super trashy. I have the 12" one and I don't even use it because it's too fast and sharp. Get a bigger one, maybe 16" or 18". I am getting a 16" next time.

I'm looking for a china, I want it to be bright and fast.

^ AA Fast Chinese? I have the 16" AA chinese and it sure is bright.

i got a 16" on its way :thumb:

are there some cymbals that sound like paiste signatures but aren't so expensive?

^^ :lol: :lol:

[QUOTE=TheMightyTrym]I'm looking for a china, I want it to be bright and fast.[/QUOTE]

15" AAXplosion china, perhaps.

Oh my god. Has anybody seen these? 19" Z Custom Thrash Ride

I thought it was a joke, until I found it on the Zildjian website.
Honestly... that hammering... that's just not logical.

looks like a Pro Sonix in the hammering

i imagine that thrash ride sounding liek complete sh!t. seriously. anyway they have been out for a few months now. i dont even want to try one.

OK guys, I've got a fairly simple one. My A Med-Thin 16" Crash just ain't cutting it anymore. My 18" A Med-Thin is awesome, so I just want another 16 that will be loud, but very quick and bright and be comparable with an A or A Custom.

^Projection Crash(?)

[QUOTE=MrMome]^Projection Crash(?)[/QUOTE]

that sounds like a good choice. i agree with the A custom projection.

I need a bright and cutting crash, for a reasonable price. Any ideas?
Also, I have a 18" Wuhan China and I'd like to find something for an also affordable price that is smaller and has a little different sound to it, being that the Wuhans are so trashy, I'd like one thats a little brighter and quick. Any suggestions? (Keep the low-ish budget in mind.)

Pro Sonix 16" crash.

alright, im looking for a nice ride right now. i've been kinda turned onto the A Sweet Ride but i wanna know if there is anyhthing else out there. Right now im a Zildjian man but i wont mind going out of my box. also, i was thinking of buying a 14'' Wuhan China, but i wanna know if they are nice china's overall and if they are good for rideing

You'll probably want a bigger china for riding. 16" or 18" at least.

There are tons of great rides out there from all sorts of manufacturers. What kind of sound are you looking for?

well, i mostly play rock, but i like my ride to have a more jazzy feel, maybe one to be crashed on a bit. i like the ride Dave Lombardo uses on his video on drummerworld.com

i bet thats the worst cymbal made by zildjian. they should be ashamed.

Bobby, i'm looking for a china. I need it to be VERY very dry, and short. I tried wuhan 12" and it was still too sustained for me. I dunno if what i'm truly looking for is a stacked china, but i'm pretty sure it's not. I plan to use it when i hit the snare at the same time, so it goes "CHh CHh CHh" and the hits are defined. Logically i'd be looking for something smaller, but i didn't find anything at Ellis (which had sabian china kangs, some stagg DH's, sabian china splash, wuhan 12 and 14" and a few other trinkets).
any ida?

i'm not bobby, but thy the aax china seams to work for me, or the metal x china, for something with quicker decay, aa fast china

^ ^ ^ Yeah, try the Sabian AAX line - mini's and regulars. I think the Evolutions line has a mini china also. Zildjian orientals, imo, are fast too.
