Mr. Jones Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 K = HHK Custom = HHXA = AAA Custom = AAXZ = AA/AAX Metal X Quote
Brae. Posted March 27, 2006 Author Posted March 27, 2006 K = HHK Custom = HHXA = AAA Custom = AAXZ = AA/AAX Metal XOk, thanks for the help bro...I was looking for Zildjian sound, but not the price, now I know what to check out next time I go to the capital Quote

Zildjian. And the price is negligible. Sabian is only about $30 cheaper for a 16" crash. I find zildjians to be a little bit warmer, while Sabians are more cutting. Quote
Rabbyt Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 my favs are thin zildjians. i hate thick cymbals, especially thick sabians Quote
blinkboard182 Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 what about paiste?alot of the rude cymbals are thick...i don't like them even though i own one Quote
VistaCruiser Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Paiste rudes have the nicest sound.. but are WAY expensive. I want some rude high hats Quote
Mr. Jones Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Paiste is a completely different beast. They use MANY different cymbal alloys than Zildjian and Sabian. Quote
blinkboard182 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 i have a 16in crash and its alright, but its too dark for me Quote
link182 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Paiste cymbals are beautiful instruments if you have alot of money. I'd rather wait til i'm making alot more to spend that much on cymbals. Quote
kickinthenads Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 what about paiste? paiste sginatures are the cream of the crop Quote
blinkboard182 Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 its basically only the Rude series that i don't like Quote
Anti-Hero Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I don't really like Paiste. I have Sabian AAX's all round. The hi-hats, ride and 16'' crash is Stage and the 18'' crash is Bright. These sound nice to me I have had them for awhile. I like Zildjian too but I thought it was time to try something different. Quote
Mr. Jones Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 With Sabian, the only models I really like are the HHX's and HH's. As well as the AAX Studio Crash. Zildjian I like A's, K's, and K Custom'sPaiste I like Giant Beats, and 2002's. Quote
Nickduuude Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 i didnt think i would like sabians cuz before i played with zildjians but i have some vault sabian crashes that are probably the best crashes ever made Quote
