Bobby i wana say congrats on such a popular / useful thread.

[QUOTE=DaleCrover1]Would an HH Crash/Ride be strong and loud enough for rock music??[/QUOTE]

certainly should. its all in the weight of the cymbal.

a thinner model wouldnt cut as much, but a heavier one would

if your miced, no worries on anything

heh, thanks.

this is the 2nd or 3rd version of this thread too! :lol:

Hey Np man your a great member of these forums

hi guys, could anyone give me a sabian version of the 20" a custom ping ride?

AA rock ride

I'd say thats more the sabian version of the A rock ride, though all 3 cymbals are pingy/have some washy undertones.

Not too familer with the sabian line, but I'd think that an AAX stage/studio ride would be a better fit.

WHy does it have to be sabian?

who cares....its what he wants

AA tight ride....probably something similar

[QUOTE=Drummer54]WHy does it have to be sabian?[/QUOTE]

because i would like a sabian set up? is that so wrong? :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=bobby__johnny]18" Hand Hammered Medium-thin Crash, 10" HHX Splash[/QUOTE]

would the above 18"AAX Studio work as well?

what about an 18" HHX Studio or a 20" AAX Stage?

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.
