Check out the sound clips and see for yourself. My money would be on the sig dry ride though.

yeah i've heard the cilps, but i was asking for those who have tried them out :S

[QUOTE=straycat101]do you guys think i should get a) 8'' and 10'' Wuhan Trad Splashes, b) a 12'' Wuhan Splash and 12'' China or c) a 16'' Prosonix China ?

help me out[/QUOTE]
A 10" S Series Splash and an 18" Trad. China.

[QUOTE=saars]I'm also looking for a china that is not too dark (like the wuhans are) and something that I can ride on (like dhak said). Also, I don't like something that's uber trashy (like the wuhans), but I want something that gives a good "khaaahhh" and doesn't have that much overtones. I'm open any brand cymbal.[/QUOTE]


anyone?

paiste sig chinas cut a bit like you'd say, and you might think about a b8pro china perhaps? or perhaps an HH china, those things are real bitey :)

I'm looking for 2 new crashes, i missed 2 bargains earlier for a Sabian HH 16" and 18" crash.
I'm looking for 2 crashes that work well together, and would be well suited for heavy metal playing and also quite versatile.

AA Rock Crash 17" HH Rock Crash 18"

AA Medium Thin 17" HHX Stage Crash 19"

Hmm...

16 A EFX.
15 Azuka
or 18 Azuka?

Anybody have any recomendations for a cool Reggae type crash cymbal.

Really really short simmering decay.

[QUOTE=saars]anyone?[/QUOTE]

18" or 20" Bosphorus trad. china, if you can find one that is. I suggest Ebay.

Perhaps a K custom fast crash?

[QUOTE=Cocaberry]Neither. Both of those lines are just garbage. It's best to stay away from the following lines:[LIST][*]AA Metal-X[*]AAX Metal[*]Z Customs[*]Paiste Rude[/LIST][/QUOTE]

The AAX Metals aren't [I]too[/I] bad. Better than the Metal-X line at least.
Paiste RUDEs aren't all that bad either.

Paiste rude thin crashes and the chinas are awesome.

What do you guys think of the Sabian Paragon series? been thinking of picking up a 10" splash and I'm torn between Paragon, Metal-X and HH.

Paragon > Metal-X

i'm gonna have to say paragon on that one, Neil sure does know how to make a splash

[QUOTE=\m/-CHeV-\m/]I wouldn't go with the dyno's.. man they are too friggin loud.. and they sound like crap.. If you like them being loud, maybe improve the sound by buying a Z/K combo... and just remember: a-custom medium crashes are not the best musical choice if you play in various styles of music.. It suits rock and metal very good though ;)![/QUOTE]
Oops. That was supposed to say K/Z Custom. haha Sorry.

hey, im looking for a nice versatile china, any reccomendations?

A china High
Oriental China trash
AA China

[QUOTE=DruMMeR_BoY14]AA Chinese[/QUOTE]

agreed

i think you should go with the oriental china trash. i've had it for about7 months now. that cymbal's awsome!:thumb:

im looking for a nice pair of aux hats, 14" ive got a pair of 14" k custom dark hats as my main hats, any ideas?

it will be on a pedal attachment so it will be a second pair of hi-hats.

A/Z Dynobeats?

sound samples on zildjian sites? probably not?

Looking for a huge silky thin crash sound

Try the 13" K/Z customs, You won't be disapointed. The click on them is godlike. I was originaly gonna go for the 14"'s but the 13"'s are just, well, you'll see.

New Beats

then after awhile, you will realize their superiority, and then you'll find your K Customs will make great aux hats :cool:

New beats are just to plasticy IMO

just like HHX EVO hats are too buttery IMO

[QUOTE=White Riot!]Looking for a huge silky thin crash sound[/QUOTE]

Maybe look at Paiste 20" 2002 thin and paper thin crashes, or a Zildjian 20" A Thin Cash

What exactly do "plasticy" and "buttery" mean when describing cymbals?

hit plastic and butter with your stick. then youll know.

[QUOTE=SkacoreDrummer]Paiste rude thin crashes and the chinas are awesome.[/QUOTE]
im pretty sure you and i are the only ppl on this forum that thinks so :lol:

Quite probably :p

rude = only heavyset cymbal ill ever hit

one of the great things about RUDE is that they never break along the lathing lines ;)


the new RUDE thin crashes are perfect, exactly what i want in a cymbal ~ a heavy cymbal that sounds thin :D


black cymbals arent my style, but this is a thing of beauty... (courtesy of WS6freak)

wow, thats a purdy cymbal!

[QUOTE=ThugsRook]im pretty sure you and i are the only ppl on this forum that thinks so :lol:[/QUOTE]


I DO TOO!!!!!

[QUOTE=Cocaberry]What exactly do "plasticy" and "buttery" mean when describing cymbals?[/QUOTE]

Plastic = not enough resonance / ringing but not exactly dead sounding , all you really hear predominantly is the medium to low mids , sounds kinda plastic like

Buttery = just a little above being muddy sounding IMO , kind of sound



Im looking for a big huge silky smooth thin crash sound. I tried paistes and they are glassy and too offensive sounding to be silky

something like an El- Sabor

18" AA El Sabor crash

heh maybe Ill ask them to custom up a 20"
