cymbal

One of the dilemmas when deciding which cymbals to use for a given situation is the volume of the cymbals. Some of my favorite sounding cymbals are also some of the loudest cymbals that I own. The problem with that is that I hardly ever need a lot of volume. So if I decide to use those "loud"...

Hello everyone, I stumbled across the video of Aaron Spears playing "The Pretender" on Drumeo's YouTube channel, and I was curious what splash he had on his kit. To me, my mind jumped to K Sweet or K Cluster, but from certain angles in the video, it looked like there were unusual hammerings...

Hello All, I wonder if anyone out there knows what ride cymbals Joe Chambers used to have. Even if not, would anyone be able to tell me what kind of cymbal he is possibly using here? Or what kind of characteristics would be in a cymbal that produces this sound (bell size, profile, weight...

Backstory: I just bought a used cymbal from a music shop out of town. After delivery, I realized it’s not in as good of condition as I assumed when the salesman told me “I sold it to a guy who is a guitarist, not even a drummer, who used it for two recording sessions and returned it”. So I...

Hello, Have a drum set with some off brand "Back beat", but when I purchased it probably 17 years ago the seller claimed that the cymbals were a bit special. However, I can't seem to find any information at all online about these cymbals. The only information on the cymbals is "S.pro...

Does anyone use their xs20s with other (higher end) cymbals? I have an aax raw bell dry ride that I'd like to play with the xs20s; does anyone know if their tonal qualities match each other? Bonus: do the xs20s go well with AAs? Thanks in advance.

Here's my problem I want to buy a drumrack but all the time I think it's a waste of money because I could buy 2 cymbals and the stands for them at the same price. If I buy the rack I don;t have the money to buy the cymbals. Otherwise I don't have a rack and I'm buying stands so I will not buy a...
