do 2oo2's have a rep for breaking?

the only thing 2002s have a rep for is for kicking ***

quoted for total utter indisputable truth

Okay, I have a dilemma. I'm upgrading my crappy cymbals (Pearls) that I've had for 4.416 years. I'm looking for a set of hats that have a very tight, articulate, clean, and clear sound when closed, and very bright when open. Washy when slightly open, but not when closed. I have narrowed it down to four.
1. 13" AAX Studio Hats
2. 14" AAX Stage Hats
3. 14" A Custom Hats
4. 13.25" K Custom Hybrid Hats


In that order, I believe.

Any opinions, suggestions?

what about a custom mastersound hats? they sound like they could be what you're after, never heard the hybrids, the studio hats sound nice, a guy i know has them and i heard them live, very nice hats, never heardthe stage hats

i'd look at K Custom Mastersounds as well, they are excelent hats. i'm gonna be rockin' 'em for my new ska band. of course, i'm not totally sure if the Nook has K Custom Mastersounds...so u might have to speak with the nice ppl at massmusic.net

Don't you mean K Mastersounds?

i think they make both

Didn't see any K Customs on the site.

All right, it's a toss up between the 13" A Custom Mastersounds and the 13" Studio Hats. I wasn't a big fan of the K hats, they were too dark and washy for my liking.

Not really... It all comes down to the player.

Diego what happened to you buying the sigs?

[QUOTE]15" signature[/QUOTE] Garbage. 15 inches and sound edge, no thanks :-/

13 IMO is big as you should go with anytype of sound edge, mastersound cymbal.

I changed my hat preference. At first I thought wash>all, but now I'm more about tight, closed hat sounds. So I just didn't get them.

Ah, ok. Dont get any sound edge, mastersound thing then.

As far as tight closed hats, check out the Quickbeat/Newbeats

[QUOTE=Diego]I changed my hat preference. At first I thought wash>all, but now I'm more about tight, closed hat sounds. So I just didn't get them.[/QUOTE]

yea, the 13'' quick beats should suit you very well, excellent hats. or maybe 13'' AAX fusion hats, but they may be too washy, i haven't played them for a while

I've played the Mastersounds before, and I really liked them. I don't like New Beats, and I don't know why. I just don't like any of the A line up basically. I like the fusion hats too, I was gonna go with those also, but they're too loose for my liking.

The quick beats are a little too washy for my liking, also.

K Custom Special Dry hats maybe?

[QUOTE=Diego]The quick beats are a little too washy for my liking, also, but those New Beats that I tried out are absolutly awesome. I had no idea such wonderness could be made into a cymbal![/QUOTE]

Yeah, you should go try them out. They ARE fantastic.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]Yeah, you should go try them out. They ARE fantastic.[/QUOTE]

froggys my man, we've been over this before, not everyone sleeps with their new beats next to them at night

Holy sh[COLOR="Black"]i[/COLOR]t. These things are perfect. The 14 inchers are like sex. Thanks a lot kid whos name I don't know yet goes by Hellmo.

ha, no problem man, i'm lookin' into pickin' some up for myself, i need 2 pairs of hats, i'm thinkin' 13 k custom drys for my happy ska band, and 15'' 2oo2 soundedge hats for when it's time to rip metal and what not.

name's Sean btw

I'm not a big fan of 2oo2's hats. Weird, I know.

Oh right, I knew that.

EDIT: Name is George, by the way.

Hmm

12 Inch Zildjian Recording Customs.

I might have come to late though..

meh, some love 'em, some don't, it happens. just like i personally don't like A Custom Mastersounds

I love all the other Paiste hats (Minus the rudes...blech) but there is just something about 'em I dislike.

[QUOTE=Diego]I love all the other Paiste hats (Minus the rudes...blech) but there is just something about 'em I dislike.[/QUOTE]

haha i like some rudes, the chinas are pretty sweet, and the thin crashes are okay, but the crash/rides are kind...bad

I only like Rude chinas. Even those aren't that good.

Yeah, so it turns out I want HHX 13" Evo Hats.
Or maybe the Mastersounds.

I know, I know....

hahaha. isnt shoping for cymbals fun. don't forget to look at Meinl

has someone played the paiste 13" signature sound edge hihat danny Carey uses?

i heard it on a tool concert and it sounded beyond awesome, so awesome i might look into them (although it will take me ages to afford one)

[QUOTE=HeLLmO]hahaha. isnt shoping for cymbals fun. don't forget to look at Meinl[/QUOTE]


I love basically all Byzance hats, but no stores around here sell them and the only place I know with clips is the site, so.

Ive got a 14 inch A fast crash, and a 16 inch A medium thin crash, I was looking for a bigger crash to add on. I was leaning to sabian for some reason, but anything works. I want something versitle, I play mostly rock, but sometimes I have to do some metal, and Ive been picking up some jazz. Im not too sure what exact sound I want. Any suggestions?

[QUOTE=Diego]I love basically all Byzance hats, but no stores around here sell them and the only place I know with clips is the site, so.[/QUOTE]

trust the clips and buy from [url]www.massmusic.net[/url] i'll tell ya man, meinl are hard to come by in humble massachusetts, but massmusic will get them to u save and much cheaper than anywhere else. and andy the owner is the man

I need a good cutting powerful ride, with a great sounding bell.

sabian paragon ride
or whatever zildjian makes, the mega bell ride...If it isn't the Z series one.

Are we saying he can't buy a ride out of the Z Custom line?
[url]http://zildjian.com/EN-US/products/default.ad2?catalogID=1012&seriesID=&typeID=9[/url]

Might wanna try out a Rock Ride, or a Ping Ride or something like that as well, from the A line.

[QUOTE=Massik Kretal]I need a good cutting powerful ride, with a great sounding bell.[/QUOTE]

AA raw bell dry ride my friend. that ride is jesus.

I guess no one really saw this...

Vault Crash?

20 Thin/Medium Thin.

I would go with something around 18", yea 14" crashes can be awkward.
Sabian has a lot of good crashes, look into AA medium/med thin, AAX stage, AAXplosion, vaults if you want but im not tooo too fond of those.

Go into a store and hit everything they have.

I'm looking for some funk hats from either zildjian, sabian or istanbul to use as my primary hats Any suggestions?
