Ok I need help, I'm gonna start saving up for a new cymbal stand but while I'm at it I'm gonna buy a new cymbal. I'm looking for a crash/ride or a ridealble crash/ crashable ride. So I need suggestions. I'm looking for a Mid sounding crash, preferably to the dark side, I HATE bright crashes well most of them. I also want a cutting bell, that I do want towards the bright side. As for riding qualities I want pingy as it can get, but I wouldn't mind wash. I would prefer it to be pretty versitile becuase other than my crap for hats, which I'm getting around to replacing, this is the only cymbal I am going to have. So yeah, I'm looking for something thats good from somewhat low dynamic levels to pretty loud. Preferably Sabian, Istanbul or Zildjian, most other brands Would be a hassle for me to get but I would try.

^^ you had me worried that were just going to but the stand......anyway try a K Custom or even a regular K.

I will look into that, but I was looking for something more to the 18" size, I won't bother with the K custom cause I'm not a fan of them but I will look into the K's I have to try one in person.

Im giving the 19" K Custom Hybrid a shot, I like bigger crashes as well.

what k custom ride is most similar to an a ping ride but with more of a dry ping, and more wash?

Special dry ride?

^^ wouldnt have much wash. I dont know what K Customs would be good for that but a K heavy ride might give you a bit of both. I guess the hybrid is supposed to be crashable as well.

trying to find my dream cymbal set up, and thought k might hold the sound, i dont like sabian sound for some reason, nothing against them or anything, and i dont have any meinl dealers around

could i get that kind of sound from paistes? ty

also do you think a 21" a ping might give me that kind of thing?(i know id have to get it custom)

[QUOTE=drumaster]what k custom ride is most similar to an a ping ride but with more of a dry ping, and more wash?[/QUOTE]

Maybe a K custom ride, its pretty pingy and has good wash but a lot darker than the ping, which i'm guessing is what you'd be after.

what?

^read my post before the one you quoted

i was cheking out my savings the other night and i got like $550, i was thinking on this:
- HH fusion hats 14" (i didn't liked heavy hats but the other i tried out some AA flats and a zxt rock, and the heavines wasnt a problem) or AAX-xcelerator 14"
- 18" HH dark crash, 16" AA thin crash
- 22" HH Heavy ride or a 22" raw bell dry ride but it'll take tooo long

so what do you think, i like this but i want other opinions

if u like it i don't see why u need other options, but u could probably check out zildjian K/K custom of meinl Byzance

not exactly on topic but i didn't want to make a separate thread for it:
anyone know where i can find a sound sample of Paiste 802 14" hi-hats (or which of their current ranges is equivalent, if any)?

what about Z customs for playing metal? will they be heard?

Hey guys, I'm looking for a ride cymbal with alot of ''ping'' to it, I've heard the ping ride and its not bad but it still has quite a few overtones to it. I hear the Avedis Earth ride is meant to be like hitting the bell of a ride cymbal over and over and thats pretty much what I want, though I cant find a sound sample and I want a second opinion.

Can anyone confirm this or provide a link to a sample? thanks

Sample on Zildjian site.

I played some vault hats at GC last weekend and i really like them. Really clean full sound to them. Any other hats that sound like that?

what do you think of the 2002 wild ride 22"?

Im looking for crash that is about $200 sg dollars(1.6 sg dollar = 1 US dollar) that is warm and blends with music. Now looking at 16" K custom session Crash, HHX 16"/17" Stage Crash, HHXplosion 16" Crash. Thanks.

320 USD than?

If that's the case

Zildjian CIE Vintage.

It's like butter baby. Like butter.

I probably did my math wrong though.

i would have to say probably the 16" or 18" hhxplosion, the k custom session sounds...spongy at best. i didnt really like it at all.

[QUOTE=We_Love_Lime]I probably did my math wrong though.[/QUOTE]

200 $SG

1.6 $SG = 1 $US

200 $SG = ? $US = 200/1.6 = 125 $US


Of course, I could've done [i]my[/i] math wrong. :p


Assuming my maths is correct, the crashes you're looking at are either very cheap in Singapore, or out of your price range. Assuming it's the latter, I'd recommend saving up some more money.

^^^^^
Haha, Im getting a 40% discount on an already discounted 20%.
Eg. Cost x 80/100 = first discount
discounted cost x 60/100 = final cost.

How dose every one rate SABIAN HH 20" MEDIUM RIDE just considering bying it and looking for opinions

i heard it with all the logos and etc cleaned off, almost made to a brilliant finish, sounded alright, very quiet though. the one i heard most likely sounds nothing like the original though.

i would like to buy a sabian chinese i want a trashy one and one that is not overly loud in volume. what do you guys suggest.

The Xtreme chinas are very trashy and loud but dry

I love the AA chinese. might wanna get a 16. those are nice. I own the 18 and i love it. Buuut the AA chinese are kinda loud.

the power ride is wonderful to chewaz

ok guys.
hh thin chinese 18"
hhx chinese 18"
signature devastation chinese 17"

taking in account price, volume, and trashyness

HHX or Sig easy. What are you lookin for in the china?

[QUOTE=SkacoreDrummer]HHX or Sig [/QUOTE]

my thoughts exactly. The sig will probably be more expensive though.

Not always. 20.5" Chad smith explosion is cheaper than my 19" AAXplosion.

18" AA Thin crash. Opinions?

We have a 16 Zildjian Medium Thin Crash at school.

Sorta like an 18 AA Thin Crash.

Well it sounds like ****e.

Lol....

My knowledge is much appreciated eh?

Im looking for a Crash I can ride in harder type music. Breakdowns, Chaotic parts, but versitalle enough to use as an accent or for lighter music...

[QUOTE=flasportsfan88]Im looking for a Crash I can ride in harder type music. Breakdowns, Chaotic parts, but versitalle enough to use as an accent or for lighter music...[/QUOTE]

dont go for anything heavier than a medium crash. Find a good medium thin with a good sized bell on it. LIke the Sabian AA medium thin crash. Or AAX plosion crash.

I just compiled a list of crashes to try :D

17" A thin
18" A Medium thin
18" A Thin
17" A Custom fast
17" A Custom projection
18" A Custom fast

18" AAX Stage
19" AAX Dark
17" HH Dark
17" HH Medium thin
17" HHX Stage
17" HHXtreme
17" HHXplosion

Corrrr

One of those may well be mine soon.
