[QUOTE=destroyer of senses]I'm looking for some funk hats from either zildjian, sabian or istanbul to use as my primary hats Any suggestions?[/QUOTE]

Istanbul Trad.Funk hats would be the best, Sabian HHX Groove hats 14 or 15'' would get the job done, so would some Zildjian Quick Beats

[QUOTE=Chester]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.[/QUOTE]

yea, man, 14'' crashes can be weird, but i'm gettin' a 14'' A Custom Fast Crash and usin' it as a kinda big splash, because it just sounds better than any A Custom splash, but it cuts really well

Sabian Vault Ride?
20 ".
ANybody played it?

instanbul trad funk hats FTW!!!!

[quote=flammen]i'm looking for a ride which is quite pingy with very little wash and a loud high pitched bell no preference to company[/quote]
Zildjian 20" A Earth Ride/ Sabian 20" AA Raw Ride (Same thing)- Least wash
Sabian 22" AAX Metal Ride- more wash
Sabian 21" AA Rock Ride- more wash again

All very pingy cymbals, but go for the earth if you want a really dry cymbal, the metal if you want something a little more washy, etc.

Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride?

[QUOTE=herostyle]Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride?[/QUOTE]

yes. aa raw bell dry ride. check it out.

yeah, your right it is goiod I jut pick it up from guitar center.

hello people, I'm in search of some cymbals and in need of help.

I want 2 cymbals, I want fairly big cymbals and I want the sound to be as follows:

1 crash/light ride
1 ride/crash

I would like to receive as many options as possible.

for the ride/crash, i wouldnt go with a cymbal necesarilly called a crash ride, jsut get a crashable ride, like a Sabian AAX Stage Ride, or mabye one of those Zildjian Sweet Rides.

^^^ thats what I was thinking too, maybe a heavier crash too

Okay, I have a few things to ask you fellas.

1. AA Raw Bell Dry Ride. How does it sound? Some wash, nice bell, good cymbal? Past experiences, etc.

2. 13" or 14" AAX Stage/Studio Hats. How does it sound? Some wash, nice chick, tight sound when closed? Past experiences, etc.

Recommendations are cool, too.

Thanks in advance.

1. I have the AA raw bell and first off lemme say that you wont be dissapointed. it has the perfect amount of wash. The bell is freakin amazing. i swear. its my favorite thing on my kit now. the whole ride. get it. you wont be dissapointed.

2. I also own the 14 stage hats. THey also sound amazing they have nice wash to them. Very good open and half open as well as closed sounds. my favorite though is the hihat chokes with them. maaan talk about sweet jesus godly tone.

Rite, im looking into getting a K Ride, but i have a few questions.

Can you crash on them? Do they have a good mix of wash and ping? And is the 20'' any good?

1. Don't have the Raw Bell Dry Ride but heard it and it sounds awesome.
2. I have the 14" Stage hats in brilliant finish. Great wash, pretty good chick sound, and awesome closed sound. Like Tim said too, the hi-hat chokes are excellent. I'd definitely recommend these hats for all around general use.

how's the crash on the AA Raw Dry Bell, i'm definatly thinkin' of getting it for my next ride, and while crashing it doesn't really matter, i would like to know how it sounds

That's pretty convenient.

yea. it really is isn't it

I'm looking for a good ride to contrast my K Heavy ride.

I'm not a whore so i'm not picky.

Basically my K has lots of ping and not much wash and a really cutting bell.

I want a ride that's more washy and jazzy but still has a good strong bell. I was looking at K Customs or the Sweet ride. What would you guys recommend? (I can get anything but Sabian, Zildjian, Paiste, Stagg, and Turkish a little easier)

Gimme watcha got!

Something bright and washy then.

I'll just say an A Sweet Ride.

i says 22" AA Medium Ride

A Custom flat ride.

[quote=bobby__johnny]i says 22" AA Medium Ride[/quote]

my school has a fairly old 22" med ride. I asked my teacher if i could buy it but she wouldn't let me...it's a lovely cymbal...too bad ppl wrote all over it...lucky it was with pencil.

i dunno i havnt really crashed on it at all yet butim sure it would sound ok. probably not as well as you think though its a medium heavy.

k, cool, i don't plan on crashing it much anyway, just on occasion

No one answered to bump.

[QUOTE=enemytopublic2]which model K ride? or are you just talking about the K "Ride"?[/QUOTE]

'The' K Ride.

ok but i nevere liked zildjians, so from these two sabians? wich one

go with the xcelerators.

[QUOTE=chewaz]ok but i nevere liked zildjians, so from these two sabians? wich one[/QUOTE]

New Beats are above Zildjians....seriously, they should be their own brand.

[QUOTE=chewaz]ok but i nevere liked zildjians, so from these two sabians? wich one[/QUOTE]

I used to have the sizzle hats. I traded them in for New Beats. They're pretty good. You cannot stop the sizzle though, when you play them open, it can be pretty overwhelming, but when closed they sound really nice. They're also incredibly loud.
