Hey Drummers, i know its self explainetory but does anyone use a crash /ride cymbal instead of a regular ride cymbal . Why ? Pros & Cons ?
Thanks
Thanks
Maybe a thin ride cymbal with rivets instead? Does anybody make a good one these days?...do you think a C/R would fill more space in the sound of a trio blues band verses a reg. Crash ?
Sorry I meant verses a reg. ride ?
Nobody makes one that fits my sound for jazz. I got my very very thin 16" with rivets that is perfect for ride and crash off of eBay.Maybe a thin ride cymbal with rivets instead? Does anybody make a good one these days?
Thanks for your feedback,no not looking at brands yet ,just thinking maybe a C/R would fill more cymbal ride sound for this 3pc blues project i am doing. i dont have alot of monster chops and i am trying to cover alot of groundI mean, all things being otherwise equal? It would typically give you more spread/wash and a less defined stick sound. When I was playing a lot of blues I wanted a ride cymbal with a defined but not pingy stick sound but I still wanted it to be able to crash. So, I'd just be looking for a medium thin to medium cymbal (c. 2100g for a 20" or 2800g for a 22). I might use the crash/ride as a second cymbal in that context.
But, I mean, lots of guys want big, washy cymbals for blues. Bonham's cymbals were big and washy and I think they sounded pretty great and huge for that whole LZ blues/rock thing. All of the Giant Beats and Big Beats are "multi" type cymbals-- in a sense, crash/rides. If that's the sound you're going for, that's how you do it. Most of the companies make cymbals in that sort of range.
Is there a brand you're looking at?
