why stop at hating zildjian? hate paiste, sabian, meinl,Bosphorus while your at it. hate anything that has a video on youtube. Hate Everything. Its a dirty job but someones gotta do it.
Man guys, when your testing a cymbal and putting it up online, play with the cymbal please! everyone! dont just do baby hits, play with it, crash it, ride it, bell ride it, and play it on low to high volume
can someone who knows their cymbals give me a basic rundown of the differences between the K series and the A series, my kits bassically has all a's and the custom power ride. Its to my understanding standing K is a level higher and a bit more expensive but other than that i dont understand much about cymbals :P
the rides in general are more clean sound, the crashes go deeper. A, are a bit lighter in sound i have a A 18" rock crash but it's thinner and higer pitched.. It's a matter of taste.
lol! nah man im not kidding. musiciansfriend is realy stupid. you know i thought about keeping it, but my fucking parents were like "send it back, its the right thing to do". i was so pissed.
I've been playing the same Steve Gadd sticks for 2 years straight. I'm not the hardest bashing player in the world though, but I play hard enough. They only break easy if you beat the shite out of the cymbals
puhh.. AAX Stage Ride, or a heavy ride thats because i often play on big stages, and this ride comes through pretty well, but i think it sounds too soft.
i love that stick definition and "ping" , but i dont like that supperrrrr long sustain, in most cases long sustain would be good, but more for jazz music it would be
these videos where there's some idiot banging on a cymbal for no point other than to go on youtube. if i wanted to hear a K ride i'd drive an hour to the nearest place rather than hear a camera recording.
i hate it when idiots post videos of them hitting a cymbal, with the bluit camera microphone which can't take high sound pressure levels (or any sound pressure levels for that matter)...
get a decent microphone (a shure PG81 will do the trick) and plug it into the camera. then you don't have a completely pointless video with some guy bashing a ride (which is an inch away from a tom and on a crap stand), when you can go to the zildjian site and actually hear what it sounds like.
Nice ride but I like my ride a bit more. My ride cymbal is a Zildjian 22" K heavy ride. Sadly my model is discontinued but at least I was able to track one down before it's time came...
Good choice, I have the same ride... good sound and nicely. I have seen your commentary in my video, also you have zildjian oriental china and a-custom splash?... Regards
i have just purchased a 20" armand ride from the new range and on close inspection the cymbal has a slight dent on it. when i took the cymbal back to the shop they would not take it i was just wonderig if anyone knows how to get a dent out of a cymbal????
hey, need ur advice! im just curious as to how you managed to pick this cymbal up in "brilliant" finish? Its usually manufactured unlathed, if its a regular zildjian K ride 20"?
I was very small like 13, and i had no idea but drummin stuff , so i wanted to have a cool soundin ride.. And they said this cymbal is good.. But i neither couldnt find it on the zildjan website.. But its a regular
Dude, it's Youtube, 95% of the time you get crap response from Emo kids that have everything they want and get pissed off. It's all good. I'm working on my buying a pair of K Hi-hats. I tried it already and I think it's gonna be a good match. Probably getting a K Dark thin Crash after that buy but gotta wait for my paychecks. I don't have rich parents buying me 20 cymbals *cough cough*
Yeah me too... I just ordered a 16"Oriental china an 10" a-custom splash.... My father gets no bonus this year because of the bank-crisis.. The K hihats are beautiful!
