Why not just get the Zildjian ride?? If its got the sound you want then a logo that no one will see other than you shouldnt make you change brand.

Yea, really.
names are nothing when it comes to cymbals, just pick what sounds good.

well... actually, i have a friend who opens a music instruments shop and he gets a really good deal on the sabian cymbals. he is offering me really REALLY good discounts on these cymbals. i can't resist. :)

As a starting point, have a look into the Stage series by AAX. medium weight, solid bells - It should get the ball rolling for you.

Another point to consider - Dont be so sold on the sound of the A Custom projection ride. Go into the store with an open mind and you may even find a BETTER sound thatn what you think you want right now.

thanks damo. but the shop doesn't have all the ranges that i would love to try out. just a few. if i really need to get one that he doesn't have, he has to order it from the HQ... but still its a good bargain. :)

What about the Sabian AAX Metal RIde?

That will be brighter and hiigher pitched than the Stage Ride,

Probably a little too thick/focused, and wont play nearly as easily as the Projection ride, although the pitch could prove similar

Ahh fair enough. Is there a way you can play the cymbals he does have at the shop? Even if they dont have quite what you have in mind you can get a good idea from playing the stock he has got. Rather than looking for 1 ride in the AAX line try to play/look at the line in general.
