ben_1903 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hello one and all.Right. Well i need a crash for big choruses. I was thinking about a 17/18" avedis zldjian to go with my 22" avedis ride...does anyone have a similar cymbal? Is it any good?And a decent 16/17" cymbal to accompany a main crash is needed.I'm going to be trying out cymbals as you do in shops...but hitting a cymbal in r and b isn't quite going to give me and idea of if it's what I'm after.cheers.

You know exactly what sound you're after.....none of us do. For what it's worth, Zildjian, Paiste, Sabian, Istanbul, Meinl all make excellent cymbals....so quality-wise you can't go wrong. I'd advise you to take your current cymbals along to R&B so you can see what they all sound like together.Better still, don't shop for drum stuff in R&B....they're overpriced IMO. Bruce Millers are better....but your best bet is to try stuff out at the local shops, and then buy online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Get vintage cymbals from the net, there's also people selling in scot ads. The Zildjian cymbals actually made in Turkey are unbeatable, or so my drummer says. Older cymbals have a better colour to their sound as well.

Just after some advice regarding what goes well with what.Are r n b overpriced? I've always found them really good, helpful and always willing to give a discount.

CaptainWow Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I never thought they were over priced. polite but not over priced. but anyway, i do like your idea of the avedis. and it is generally a case of finding a cymbal to fit with the crash. and for me ive always found that hard to do.i take my cymbals in with me when i look for a new one. ask for help, i find that it is easier with a second opinion on how things sound. but thats just me.

badger Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Nip down to Perth and go to RWJ's and try out all the Ufips they have in stock. The Bionic series are still beautiful cymbals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
