hey very nice video man but do you think you could hit the the Zildjian el sonido a little bit louder or harder? I would like to hear the crash sound from it. Thanks!!
Hey I was wondering if you would recommend the 17 el sonido for a 2nd crash mainly but also a ride at times or is it more of a ride cymbal type. Also is the crash a good rock/alternative kind of crash?
@terrifictrio125: The 17" El Sonido makes a dark, great-sounding Crash. As I mentioned in the cymbal tour, the cymbal works quite well as a nice pingy Ride, the closer you play it to the bell, in that unlathed hammered area. I use a piece of Moongel to tame the wash a bit and improve stick definition. I absolutely love this cymbal, the best thing about it is that almost nobody else has heard of them!
Funny you should mention that...a few weeks ago, I picked up 13" QB's for $75, and I have a set of hollow ink logo 14" QB's coming in a few weeks. :) Quick Beats are awesome, they play crisper and noticeably faster.
heey i reaallly liked ur cymbals especially ur ride and hihats i will be geeting t nex beats but i was eondering if you recommend that rezo ride for metal ?
I certainly would think the ReZo Ride would work for metal due to the musical ping and great stick definition. It also has a very good bell and sounds decent when crashed. Try one out when you get the chance. :)
I hate logos; I removed them with a bit of acetone. Acetone works great to remove black logos from clear heads, or white logos from black heads. Logos look like crap when they've been hit a hundred times, and the ink ends up on your cymbals as pip-marks.
It might affect the resale value, and because I don't have problems with cymbal ink getting on my drum heads. ;) When it comes to cymbals, I leave logos as is. If they're there, fine, if they're faded or gone, fine. :)
Don't really have a preference. Whatever sounds good gets a permanent spot in my playing kit, regardless of the brand. My cymbals are Zildjians (new and vintage), Sabians (mostly newer) and a few Saludas. They all sound great to me, in their own way. I've also heard lots of crappy-sounding cymbals from all the same brands. ;)
Remo Ebony Ambassadors. Single-ply. Tone-wise, they would be somewhere between Clear Ambassadors and Coated Ambassadors. If you like your drums warm and resonant, they're a good choice. :)
Not to my ears...it's thinner & lighter than all but one of my hihats, none of which sound good as a Crash. Hihats all tend to sound gongy when used as a Crash. The AA Thin Crash has a silvery, crystally crash sound, which is why I wanted it. I love the 14/15/16" Sabian AA or AAX Crashes in Thin or Extra Thin weight. Beautiful sound, to my ears anyway. :)
I'd agree with that. :) The El Sonido is a much lighter cymbal with a bigger bell. Still, I like the ReZo's bell too, when I want to play a more subtle bell sound.
Thanks for your comments, guys! You might find this interesting, but except for the 2 new Zildjians, every one of those other cymbals each cost $40 or less (the Sabian AA Thin Crash cost me $52). Just keep watching eBay and eventually you'll get good deals too. It helps to do a lot of research first, so you know you're not getting junk beginner cymbals. ;)
I have a couple vintage 14" Avedis Zildjians but they're too heavy for Crashes; they'd make a nice set of hihats, though. I have a 20" Avedis Ride from the early 60's, a 22" Avedis Ride from late 60's, 14" Saluda HybridX Paper-Thin Crash, 16" Sabian B8 with crack I repaired, 18" Paiste "Super" Extremely Thin Crash (early 60's) and a 10" Zildjian K Splash with 1/2" crack (didn't repair yet). None cost me more than $40 on eBay. :)
Headhunters are trash... And I know from experience, I've bought over 5 pairs of them. Check out Regal Tip 5BX

The sabian china you have may be around from the 80's. Because, sabian wasn't founded until the early 80's

Different strokes for different folks. I'm not too concerned with looking professional, because...I have Sonor Delites! ;)

Personally, I think your 17inch Zildjian has a better bell tone than your actual ride cymbal. but that just in my own opinion. Nice set-up man.

Great cymbals! I really love the bell on your Zildjan that you use for a kind of ride. And youtube changed the format!
