[QUOTE=straycat101]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[/QUOTE]

i think a 21" Sweet Ride would suit you madam

Is an 18" Pre-Used (Still in fantastic condition) A Custom Crash for 99$ good?

sure. make sure theres no cracks or keyholing

[QUOTE=aaron1]its heaps ignorant to not like a cymbal i've played isn't it?[/QUOTE]

Fair enough if you have tested it and didn't like it, but people have just shunned it becasue it's a Z custom.

There is no definiton of sounding good. It's personal prefernece. I know people that love this ride.

Just to say, I prefer A/K's too.

Looking for 2 new crashes, I like the sound of both the Medium A custom crashes and the AAX Stage crashes as seperate cymbals, just trying to get an idea for how well these 2
would go together in a 16-18" setup or 17"-19" also any other idea's of crashes im after something that will go well for Hard rock type music, Im also after a contrast in sounds but don't want them to clash with each other either.

well if those two are the ones your looking at, make the AAX the bigger of the 2.

go for 17" and 19" sizes, I dont htink a crash like an A custom meidum would work well in a 16" or below size.

If your after some more suggestions try A custom crashes and projection crashes. Maybe some K crashes well. I'd recomend the K dark crash medium thin

I want another ride for the left side of my kit i.e. for open handed patterns, the lighter side of my playing.

My main ride is a 21" K Heavy which is going to be the more cutting and powerful of the two.
I want a contrasting ride i.e.: light, washy. Preferably Zildjian as my local has the mostly Z's in stock.

I'll let you cymbalaholics opinionate what'd suit as I might've just missed it out.

Cheers geez.

a K Custom Light Ride would go nicely i think

Ooh, try the K Custom Dry Light, I'm using it as my main right now actually.

Or maybe one of those Session Gadd models.

I wouldn't recommend Projection Crashes of any sort. Mediums are better.

I am looking for a chinese cymbal with a very nasty, trashy sound. I would prefer around a 14". I'm looking for the sound that the drummer from Flaw has on that song Payback. Sabian only plz! thnx

Does it really need to be sabian? Because you can get a wuhan china on musicainsfriend.com for around $20 and they are the best trashy, nasty sound you can get for your money.

i agree.....get a wuhan. get the 20 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Awsome! I'll give it a try :thumb:

As long as you're living in the lower 48 states, you have a whole range of cymbals to choose from. If your local music shop is crap, then screw them and use internet sites like musiciansfriend and massmusic.

Not a fan of the projections?

right-o, i'm looking for a 20" ride that has a clear pronounced bell and is not washy,

i wash thinking:

a custom ping
k custom
aa rock

suggestions or opinions?

thanks

a custom ping

Go for the K, it is by far the best ride I have ever had the oppurtunity to play on. I tmay be too washy for what you want but still try it out, pure sex i say!

AA Rock. truth is, the K doesnt even fit in there.

cheers guys, i am going to be buying it from us ebay( i'm from the uk), so do you think i should still go to the nearest shop and try them?

at least. if you can get a general idea of what the cymbal sounds like, then yes. the one your ordering though will of course sound different

right thanks, would there be any other rides you could suggest i try?

any and all rides that perk your interest

[QUOTE=bobby__johnny]AA Rock. truth is, the K doesnt even fit in there.[/QUOTE]

Yeah but its still my favourite ride :rolleyes:

Ok got a question, i'm looking for a china and a splash to go with my sweet ride, my 18" K crash ride and my 14" paiste 2002 medium hats. I'm not an effects kinda guy, i mean i'm sort of new to effects cymbals, so any suggestions? I play a lot of pop/rock and sort of emo, but I also play a ton of classic rock and a bit of alternative, so I guess i'd be looking for something pretty stock? I'd probably want a 10" splash, something able to compete with my other cymbals, and I liked the 8" paiste dimensions splash BUT theres no paiste dealer in New Zealand. I want a china that's not too obnoxious, and probably bigger than 16" but really not a lot of preference. I know I haven't been very specific but that's why i'm here, maybe you guys could help me out? thanks a lot.

17" K/K Custom Dark China
10" A/K splash

maybe 10" A splash and 18" oriental china trash

maybe and 18'' B8 pro china, it's cheap too, but i dig it
