Pearl Reference Drum Solo

sabian has some good quality cymbals but is a bit inconsistent in their sound IMO. paiste seems to be the most durable because of some kind of finish they put on the cymbal and best quality throughout their line. and zildjian.. eh kinda watever. they have some nice cymbals, nd some not so nice ones. pretty much preference tho

love the set, you got a ton of potential you just need to do less spastic type beats and play some solid stuff with a solid meter....

I agree. There are drummers who can do more with three piece drum-set and three cymbals than these guys with those giant sets with hundreds of cymbals. And, for instance, if you play rock, like ACDC, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, then the best choise for such music is Paiste. Cool drumming.

WTF

You don't need at least 8, you can do great just with 3 (Hi hat, Crash, Ride). And Sabian aint best for everything

Take time to think about your solo - give it structure and a theme. Use dynamics. Just sounds like you're slamming on everything without any thought. Lots of potential though!

no cymbal cracks easily, its about your technique

zlidjian k customs crack more often than any cymbal if ever seen, dont get me wrong i love em... but again i support both zildjian and sabian so i dont like to hear hate stories
