i'm getting the set for them but i want a crash ride, do you think it would be okay for a trashy ride? thanks

[bubbleboy4892]

i cant stand crash/ride cymbals, so i wouldnt get that but thats my opinion

[gundamfan100]

dude i have the exact drums!!! but my heads are ruined and is the planet z good?? because i might try to get the 4 cymbal pack for $150. and getting some black suede emperor heads

[bubbleboy4892]

i love it, altough its the only ride ive had

[kingdomEPIC]

planet z's are terrible

@TheMaskeDrummer Ever played any cymbals from the Sabian HHX Evolution series (my current fav) or even the Zildjian K Custom Hybrids? Just a few that came to mind. ZBT or Planet Z serve their purpose, but there is a huge difference in quality and sound.

I own A mixture of the pro lines from Sabian and it hurts my ears to go back to the ZBT's and even B8's (sabian). They are very high pitched and ringy and not as musical to my ears. Again budget line have their place...

that is funny i started on the same set with the same cymbals and the crash was bent to hell just like yours is haha

[ItalianAvalanche]

@kingdomEPIC yeah I got a set of planet z's for my second cymbal set, to replace the stock ones. They're awful. The crash only lasted like three months or so, the hats got trashed after about a year. The ride is still good, it just sounds terrible. Super dull and dead sounding.

Very good starter cymbals, very bad serious cymbals.

It's weird how these sound good before you've heard the high end cymbals :L

[SittingOnTheMoon87]

@5minsLate Absolutely - In fact I still have a set of ZBT's laying around, and the B8 crashes sound decent too, I have one of those laying around as well.

[5minsLate]

@SittingOnTheMoon87 I agree, although they are at least something to hit while you're saving money. I've currently got a set of ZBTs, while I save up for some Alchemy Pros or Zildjian Ks. It's better having them than nothing.

I this ride!!!



[Seffyr]

The ride is the best component of the entire set. It's actually decent for an entry level ride.

The crash comes second as bearable. It's alright, but very trashy and cheap sounding. I'm afraid I'm going to break it every time I crash.

The hats are terrible. They sound like what they are made of: Tin. Really hollow, blunt sound.

Replaced the hats with Sabian B8's (A decent upgrade for cheapies), may as well keep the crash as a second. Ride is awesome - I'll replace that last.

@gundamfan100 Thanks for the subscription :) Erm, I really dont think I have the double bass stamina for that song yet, I just gave it a spin and its crazy! And as for recording, its a digital camera, but I put a blob of blu tack over the mic to decrease the crackling.
