Cymbals!

I cracked ANOTHER China, this time a Zildjian A Custom 18", shame, it was a nice cymbal.

Before y'all start with cymbal technique, it goes out the window live with death metal so don't judge!

I've ordered a new set which I better treat better, only for recording and gigs;

Sabian Vault's, anyone had any experience?

I've got the following;

14" Hats
18" Crash
20" Crash
21" Artisan Ride
19" Devestator Sig China


These will be used/substituted at times with;

20" Z Custom Power Ride
Meinl MB20 19" Crash
8" Sabian Paragon Splash
Zilbel 9.5"
13" A Custom MS Hats


Anyone give me a review of the vault stuff? It's meant to be great.

Re: Cymbals!

The Vault stuff is fantastic, I got a little shot of the crashes last year, still an HHX man but the vaults are definately considerable

Aye, it's great for blasts, nice fast attack with a nice sound of the bell, it pretty much has negated the need for the Zilbel.

No worries mate,

I cracked the top hat, EEP! But I drilled it, swapped the hats around (play the sound-edge at the top now) and they sound even better, LOL.

I'll keep my ear to the groud about them, I know a mate who's selling a set of 13" K/Z's

Re: Cymbals!

seven-foot-two bluthner, in black. gorgeous.







getting delivered in two weeks, i can't wait.


and yeah, the K/Zs are amazing, i've got two pairs, K Custom Special Dry 14" that are dark and evil, and HHX 13" that are light and airy, but the K/Zs are a brilliant in-between sound that i really want.

Re: Cymbals!

Big Time.

I love my A Custom Mastersounds (thanks Chris!) but I'm looking forward to hearing the Vault hats.
