Ride and two crash set ups

[alparrott]

Generally when I use 2 crashes and a ride, it's this setup: 18" A Custom crash, 22" AAX Omni (also a crash), 19" A medium-thin crash.

So do you bring all of them for those brushes old school swing country rockabilly gigs?

yeah...the brushes jazz group "turns into" a country/rockabilly band when the occasion calls for it, so all of those cymbals are in my bag for that group

22” Paiste Blue Bell ride
18” Sabian HH thin crash
19” Istanbul Agop traditional dark crash

The variety pack.

 

[JimmyM]

The variety pack.

I’m all for it. The only reason I went mostly Sabian is because of used prices being consistently lower. But unless you have a deal, which I’ll never get, I don’t see any reason to stick with only one brand.

The variety pack.

It’s the spice of life my friend!

Sounds like you have a big rolling trap case for them

[Rolltide]

Has anyone bit a cymbal from an Inde maker like Moon or the others Timothy Roberts,?

 

[Cmdr. Ross]

[Drumolator]

I almost always use hats, one ride, and two crashes. Currently I am using these Sabians.

19" SR2 Heavy (ride)
17" AAX Concept Crash (very low pitched)
16" AAX Concept Crash (very high pitched)
14" Xs20 Hats

This is all going to change in about five weeks. Peace and goodwill.

I mostly play a 2 crash and 1 ride configuration (and hats, of course). My “sets” are:

Rock gig:
22” 70s A Ping Ride
20” 60s A Crash
19” 90s A Medium Thin Crash

“Whatever” gig:
20” 80s K Crash Ride
16” 80s K Dark Crash
16” 90s A Thin Crash

Weekly church gig:
22” 70s A (thin) Ride
16” 90s A Custom Crash
15” 90s A Custom Crash

Teaching set #1:
20” 00s K Special Dry Ride
18” 90s A Medium Thin Crash
16” 00s Armand Medium Thin Crash

Teaching set #2:
Whatever cymbals I feel like throwing up there. Right now, it’s:
22” K Con MTL
17” A Custom Crash
16” 60s A thin crash

 

[dcrigger]

Most often -

20" - '68 A Zildjian Ride
17" - K Dark Crash
16" - A Custom Crash

 

[Rock Salad]

20” medium ride
15” thin crash
17” paper thin crash (optional)
(14” medium hi hats)

 

[mikyok]

Very nice

Really tempted to get a 22 crash of doom and lose the 20" k dark thin

 

[Bozozoid]

Gearing up to go out with a 24 2002 ride..18 fast crash signature..20" signature full crash..14 K Fat hats and a 4 piece. Bare minimum but built for power. No..not Pantera power but maybe?..kinda like Charlie borrowing JR Robinsons kit..or parts of it. Know what I mean jelly bean.
