peopl say that the solar cymbals sound crap but in this video HOW DO THEY, the solar crash sounds pretty decent, ok, there isnt much overtone but it produces a good sound

[Pandamonk69]

@AllConsumingDrummer I know what you mean, but it all depends on your budget and what you require them for. If it's just for practice, for example, they can be great.

ZBTs are a bit shit too, imo.

The splash sounds like ass

[TacoDale23]

@adam1white Everyone has their own personal taste. If you're coming from a background of bronze cymbals, like Ks, HHXs, Signatures and Byzances; definitely Solar would sound like crap. Although Solar has it's purpose and it's own place in the market.

Ive played solar 20 inch ride 16 inch crash 18 inch crash and 14 inch hi hats and honestly the hi hats 18" crash and ride sound great only problem is they are pretty quiet compared to other cymbals ...the 16inch crash well...it kinda sounds like a pan

[hellrazor2208]

hey I've got a Solar hi-hats & Solar by Sabian Ride cymbal as well as a Paiste crash(16'')

Is it a good concept ?

[lolops30]

are solar splashes any good? (a 10'' or 12'' one), cuz at my local store those are the only ones they have, i usually play metal and i already have a 10'' HCS Meinl Splash, so, should i buy it?

I've heard solar crashes and hi hats sound like shit, but what about the splashes? And do they have good durability?

[styxquinrey96]

its pronounced pie-stee not paiste

[ashrinetohope]

@Pandamonk69 cool but it might be something to concider like i wish my band were mor active at the moment but we arent :( but yea ur a good drummer

[Pandamonk69]

@ashrinetohope Nah, I'm not that good. This video is pretty bad. It was just a quick improv to show off the cymbals. My main focus is on sound tech rather than drumming.

[ashrinetohope]

@Pandamonk69 yea thanks dude you have been a massive help to me and have you ever thought of trying to get signed by stagg by going to namm??? cuz ur an amazing drummer :)

[Pandamonk69]

@ashrinetohope Good, well I'm glad I've been able to help.
