Now THAT'S beautiful!
Not to detract from the Pearls, but how do you like the Sabian Groove ride there? Is it crashable as they say? I'm looking for a 21" ride to use for light passage riding and then really gettin on it in choruses and heavy parts... you think it's good for that?
I *love* the Groove Ride...it's exactly what I was after. I bought an HHX Dry Ride first but it was far too heavy, even though it did sound great. I wanted the same tone but with more wash and a wobbly, crashable edge - this was exactly that. Add to that, they are a perfect sonic match to the Fierce Hats...everything just fits together wonderfully, I'm very happy with all of my Sabians.
You could definitely ride the edge of this thing or spank the hell out of it on heavy drum parts. It's still very controllable and won't "ring out" with weird overtones like most of the non-dry Zildjian rides I tried. The bell is a monster, too...perfect.
