I know, but there not too bad, Im gradually gonna replace.

[bonzo49]

Oh yeah and crazy horse, thanks for your help when I was buying it.

No problem man... I'm just getting into the mode where I hope to expand my cymbal line up a bit. I've only had 2 crashes and a ride for as long as I can remember and I'm ready for some diversity.

Thats my plan, Im just gonna look out for good deals, like that crash, it was brand new, and half price. I really like paiste, though might also have a look at some istanbul, but of the big 3 paiste is my fav.

[hateplow]

That's funny. I started with Paiste 502's as well, and the first one I upgraded to was a Signature 18" Fast crash. That 502 ride doesn't sound half-bad, either. Kind of close to a Dry Heavy Ride.
My next step was replacing the 502 hi-hats with some dark crisps.....

[bonzo49]

The 502's have served well, and will for the time being, the splash is really nice, very splash like in my opinion. ANy comments on anything else????

[crazyhorse]

Haha.. everything else is fine man. Just remember I build my own stuff so all the name brand stuff doesn't really catch my eye much anymore. I can't roll my own cymbals though so that's usually what I comment on! =)

Hey, nice new crash.
It seems that I find some cool Paiste sounds finally...also for Jazz (Bop).

but yeah, that a cool highlight on your kit!!!

congrats...

Thats a good thing about it its very versatille, as I play Rock, and am really getting into jazz now, so it was the perfect crash!

Cheers, its a shame there aint a way to make your own cymbals that would be cool.

Thanks a lot, the drums are only a starter set, but a good set of heads and they actually sound pretty damn good.

[bonzo49]

Im gonna bump my thread up again, ha ha. Has anyone got any suggestions for new heads, I love the ambasadors, but Im open to suggestions?

Nice Kit Man!

And on the heads, why not try the Coated Emperors? Isn't that what Bonzo used?

Erm.. I think so, I can never remember. I had an emperor on my stock snare drum, before I replaced it, and to be honest found it a bit heavy, I love bonham, but I want my own sound, though I do take alot from the man.

Anyone knowm what Evan/Aqurians equivalents are better? worse?
