AA Rock Ride

I dont have a set yet, but im looking at sonor 3005, and i need cymbals, i need good quality cymbals, that are between 200-300 dollars canadian. im looking for hi-hats, crash, ride, and a china

Okay, I have a quick question about a cymbal and I didn't want to start a new thread so... I'm thinking about getting a paiste 2002(formely dimensions) cool ride. The only thing i'm worried about is it might not be loud or cutting enough, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thought so, it looks like I found my ride. Thanks.

hi guys!! I' m going buy a splash soon, i know I should try them all but I know nothing about them.......help appreciated :D

With all of Paiste's cymbal restructuring, do they still offer the original 2002 cymbals? Are those the classic line or something?

yep, the original 2002's are the basic named ones

Crash, Power Crash, Hats, Sound Edge etc...

Apparently the 10" AAX (stage?) splash is the best out there. Not sure on prices... Another really nice splash(/crash) is the 13" AAX Splash (can't remember full name)

A custom Splashes are also very nice and musical (8" and 10" being the best).

It all depends on what style of music you play really. I would, however, stay away from the 12" Z custom splash. Too gongy. Stay away from most Z customs actually.

cant go wrong with a good ol AA Splash really....

so im looking for another crash to add, i have 16"/18" zildjian avedis medium crashes, and a wuhan 10" splash with sbian aax 13" hats... im looking for another crash to add, something brighter than my avedis', but not so bright it sticks out like a sore thumb... any ideas? im not sure what size to go with, or brand...

what about a paiste dimensions raw medium crash, any size'd fit in well with your setup i think

I play rock/progressive/punk and actually I never saw a splash in a tab..... but I want one anyway!What about stands, can you put a splash on a normal stand????

Of course you can physically. It's probably not best to though, the cymbal's too small really, you'll just end up with a forest of cymbal stands. It'll be a lot easier and probably cheaper to get it its own cymbal attachment. Tama CA30E, Pearl CH70, Gibraltar SCGCA are three I can think of right now, among others. Personally I'd go with the Tama model, that's what I use.

myself, i'd reccomend a boom arm and grabber clamp....a little more flexible than those grabber arms

And this mixes how?

I'd like some hats with a real nice "chick" while closed. Preferably in the Zildjian line...thanks!

Why Zildjian? What if there was a Sabian or Istanbul cymbal that sounded more like what you're looking for than any Zildjian cymbal?

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]Why Zildjian? What if there was a Sabian or Istanbul cymbal that sounded more like what you're looking for than any Zildjian cymbal?[/QUOTE] That would be fine with me...I just prefer zildjian but will be fine with buying a pair of Sabian, Paiste, Meinl, etc...hats....I said I would prefer it to be in the Zildjian line...not that it had to be.

i don't know much about hats, but you might want to look at 13" models

and why not a Zildjian Cymbal? Maybe they are the cheapest/most available in his area? Or maybe he wants a Zildjian cymbal because he has a soft spot.

Nothing wrong with sugesting Zildjian alternatives but don't come in here and be a dick about it.

Onto cymbals: Check out A Mastersounds, A Quickbeats, A Newbeats, K Mastersound (for a darker sound), A Custom Mastersound.

Something should be what your looking for. Go into a store and try some out against eachother. If they don't have it instock, ask if they could order it for you.

Quick Beats

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]And this mixes how?[/QUOTE]

Some progressive and some punk songs!!! :thumb:

Zildjian 14" Z Custom Master Sound

Zildjian 14" K Mastersounds...


EW Z CUSTOM MASTERSOUND?! YOU MAD?!

I have Z Custom Mastersounds, and they sound pretty good to me. Nice and bright. I don't see why people hate Z Customs so much.

I was hardly being a dick. Being a dick would be like "You suck *** for liking Zildjian, everyone else is much better." You need to understand that I've been here awhile, and I found the longer I'm in an online community, the more cynical I get, because I was assuming he was a brand whore which I'm tired of that mentality.

Good job at listing the entire Zildjian hi-hat database :thumb:

he wasnt being a dick. he was just stating that WHAT IF there was another cymbal from a different company that he liked better. it was basically a "look at other brands and see if you like them" comment.

Ok, this could get confusing...

I'm looking for a trashy crash (china, yeah, but VERY specific). Zildjian Oriental is too trashy for me, so something less trashy. I'm looking into the A custom and K Custom Dark China lines. These more crashy than trashy?
Would a Crash of Doom be more suitable for what I want? I want the trashy sound of either a china or Crash of Doom, but a really trashy china doesn't appeal to me.

I can't help you out too much but i'll try. You should look into some wuhan crashes because I believe they have some trash to them, the trads have more a bit more trashy than the s series. Other than that I would just try testing out cymbals at your local shop, especially because you're looking for a very specific sound.

im looking for good priced and good cymbals for jazz
