Hi,
I'm a novice drummer interested in playing jazz (bop) and rock. I have two kits, one I want to put Remo Fiberskyn's on to use for jazz, and another I want to use with clear heads for rock.
I've been researching cymbals to buy for each kit, since I want a bright sound for rock and a dark soung for jazz. The Dream Bliss series gets a lot of positive comments on here as jazz cymbals, but every sound clip I listen to of the 18, 20, 21 or 22 crash/rides sounds extremely washy to my ears, so much so that the stick definition gets lost in the wash.
I'm thinking about skipping the two ride idea and just going with a Zildjian A 21 Sweet Ride, which gets a lot of good reviews, too, and has been mentioned as being versatile enough for jazz and rock.
So, my question is, would you prefer a Dream Bliss crash/ride or a Zildjian A Sweet Ride for jazz.
Thanks,
Kevin
