Rock rides have a high-pitched, cutting ping, with a decent amount of wash. It's a strong rock sound. Your crashes will go fine with it.

I'm looking for a China:

Extremely Trashy
Very Short Sustain
Fairly Loud

Anything else I should add?

18" Wuhan or 18" Oriental.

Maybe a 12" Wuhan if you're looking for a very short sustain.

I want a crash that sounds like:
pffffffffffff!

:lol: That's the best way I can describe it...

I'm getting new cymbals for x-mas and dont know exactly what I should get. I'm looking to get new hats, ride and atleast one cymbal. Price isnt TOO much of a problem..

I play in a punk band now and plan on playing punk and hard rock so I'm looking for sumthing that would fit well into the genre. Thx.

Well I'd say look at A Custom crashes and medium crashes, A New/Quick Beat hats and mastersound hats. Rides, well they are pretty personal. If you want to crash on it, I'd say a sweet ride in trad. finish is a good choice. They have IMO a really nice ride sound but hit that edge and you have a beautiful crash sound. You could also see about an A/A custom Ping ride. I have the A model 20" and its a great ride, nice defined ping with a decent amount of wash that will build up over time.

Just wanna ask if Stagg cymbals are any good?!

An old drum teacher said they are as good as the top brands

Duno wether he was being truthful

Thanks!

High end staggs are awesome cymbals and dirt cheap too. The mid and low end lines leave a bit to be desired though, I don't really like the trashy tones of SH and DH, and the YR's are just plain poo. Myra and up is where its at :cool:

Yea i've heard nothing but great things about stagg.

No prob, glad I could help.

Fixed. THAT will be teh shizt setup :thumb:

Well considering I don't like A Custom Mastersounds, K Custom crashes, Oriental Trashes, etc. I would have to disagree ;).

[QUOTE=PoorlyEquipped2112]I want a Splash that has a sound to it like a triangle but also have a splash sound to it.[/QUOTE]6" A or A Custom.

[QUOTE=3_times_round]Fixed. THAT will be teh shizt setup :thumb:[/QUOTE]
No no no. I'm Sabian's prostitute. Silly.

Btw, I would go with A New Beats over A Custom Mastersounds and K/Z Dynos over K Darks. :) Pretty sweet otherwise.

Oh yeah, 18" and 14" Trashes. Only Zildjian Chinas I like.

a 22" AA rock ride or an 21" rock ride or an 24" ROCK RIDE?

Depends how much volume and wash you want man. If you want a crazy loud, dry cymbal, go with the 24". Personally, I think it would probably be the least versatile cymbal you'll ever play, and I would recommend a 21" or 22".

yeah a 24" would be too much, go with a 21".

Yeah, 21" Rock rides are great. 22" rides are awesome if they aren't heavy or extra heavy in general I find.

i need a second crash, rite now i have a sabian HH think crash and i want something bright to go with it. preferably sabian cuz of massmusic. thanks

^^AA's definitally....

Yeah, AA Medium is great.

AA Medium/medium thin, both great crashes.

I've got an 18" A Medium Thin. Great crash, same goes for the AA.

hi,

i'm thinking of buying a new ride cymbal, but i don't know whether to choose a 20" zildjian K, or an A custom Custom Ride. i mean i realise the price and stuff is a bit different. i won't be doing any gigs or anything, just jamming around with my friends, so should i go the A?

and can somebody please tell me what the ZXTi cymbals are like?

Thanks

Ok, well I'll start with the easy stuff.

ZXTi are really horrible cymbals, they are made from cheap metal and sound cheap, the titanium coating does nothign but bad for them. All around stear clear.

Now, as for the K/A Custom lines your looking at two totally different sounds. The K's are dark, warm cymbals that will bend into the music while A Customs are Bright and shimmering cymbals that will cut through the music.

Ask yourself which sound you'd like. The K would be a beautiful Cymbal for jazz/pop/rock, but don't take it to a metal or hardcore gig. The A Custom Would be good for pop/rock/metal/hardcore.
