I was looking to buy a splash pretty soon. Its probably going to be a sabian. Any suggestions?
Are the rest of your cymbals Sabians? That's pretty much why I bought my Sabian Splash.But I did try out a few and settled on a 9" Mike Portnoy Signature splash. But right now I'm using a 10" Paiste Signature splash and I like it even better, or just as much.I was looking to buy a splash pretty soon. Its probably going to be a sabian. Any suggestions?
If you've never tried them, check out Dream cymbals. Their quality and sound stand up to the big names and at almost half the price (depending on the market). I have Sabian AAX hats, ride, and crashes - my Dream Bliss 10" and 12" splashes sit very nicely along with them.
I really like the AAX 10". anything smaller to me sounds too much like a tin can or a toy if that makes sence.
Wuhan splashes are really nice and super cheap.
I've scored 6 cracked cymbals on Ebay a few days ago (haven't been delivered yet) with the intention of sizing them down into chime bells (Gavin Harrison inspired) - it's 5 Zildjian and 1 Paiste cymbal, with most of the cracks having been flexed out by the previous owner. Now I'm thinking of reducing them into the next round shape (=would be splash sizes) and check whether they'll sound fine or work them into chime bells right away. What do you think? What sizes would you recommend?
