20" Paiste Giant Beat 20" Multi (Ride)
18" Paiste Signature full crash
17" Zildjian Trash Crash
14" Zildjian New Beat HH

How is that 20" GB working for you? Do you tame that it at all?

I've really wanted to use mine as a ride but it just washes out too much. That, and I prefer the bell on my actual ride cymbals. The 20" GB is an amazing crash though.

 

[Liaztraht]

19" AAX X-Plosion Fast Crash
20" AAX Aero Crash
21" AA Bash Ride

I use them for everything paired with 15" AAX Medium hats.

[JoeVermont]

20" K ride
18" K thin dark crash
16" A thin crash

I have a few others I've rotated in and out but this has been my go-to for a few years now.
Regarding the 18 K thin dark crash, if I have to gig with one cymbal - like a super cramped teeny tiny club - that's the one I use. It has a nice soft and dark ride sound in addition to versatile crash and dome sounds.

Bonus entry: Hats are a 42-year pair of 14" new beats. Gues they aren't that new anymore, huh?

 

[Bull]

I scaled back to this for a bit.

23" Meinl Byzance Heavy Ride

Damn! that 4 piece blue sparkle kit is sexy. ❤

Thank you! It’s a 22 & 13 1965 club date with a 16 super classic. It’s one amazing drum kit. It’s perfect.
