^ 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:

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.

Yea that looks BAD.

hey, tommy lee uses it, it must be great.. hah.. i dont know what im looking at its that bad

How much does the 16" Pro Sonix cost? And do you guys think a 16" B8 Pro China would work? (I am a Sabian man)

[QUOTE=straycat101]i bet thats the worst cymbal made by zildjian. they should be ashamed.[/QUOTE]

I bet it is a fantastic ride, and you simply are (most likely) too ignorant to realise plenty of Z customs sounds great.

And a lot of you seem to be being the assumption on it's looks? Never turn down a cymbals becasue it looks bad.

I've got a 14" Wuhan...not the best for riding, 18" is probably the best bet for that. The 14" is awesome for quick little accents though!

B8 pro chinas are decent. i would rather get it in 18inch but if you prefer 16 then go ahead

i have never played a Z Cutsom that sounds good and ive played about atleast 15 of them

HHX Evo Mini China man....that thing is short, and punchy....might not be so much dry, but at 14", its not going to matter

define "sounds great"

Perhaps to soem people sewer lids sound great...

Z Customs are made too heavy and too bright for anything but live performance with a loud band. Why only live? because they produce absolutly no musical sound whatsoever and they would sound terrible recorded in a studio compared to an A/K. They are a cymbal focused on raw power.

Saying that I have played a pauir of 14" regular hats and I did like them. Every single other cymbal I've touched has sounded disgusting.
