Title: Paiste or Meinl? Post by: Anson on February 17, 2005, 04:40 AM Should I get a 402 Paiste 12" Splash or a AA Meinl (Don't know the category, probably it's Headliner or something, it's about USD80) 18" crash?
I've got a 16" crash, 20" ride, 18" china and a 10" splash on my set~ What do you guys think? I personally think the 12" splash is not bad :) Title: Paiste or Meinl? Post by: Floyd42 on February 17, 2005, 08:22 AM I'll go with a second crash... But that's just ME !
What do YOU think ? What do YOU need for the music YOU play ? I think that's the real questions... JMHO. Title: Re:Paiste or Meinl? Post by: Rainchild on February 17, 2005, 09:28 AM Go with whatever sounds best to you. My opinion doesn't matter.
Title: Re:Paiste or Meinl? Post by: buzz57 on February 17, 2005, 10:02 AM Its really what you personally like the most and need the most. Both are reputable cymbal manufacturers who churn out good products. Good luck with it and above all, enjoy! :)
Title: Paiste or Meinl? Post by: 563 on February 17, 2005, 11:55 AM 12" splash vs 18" crash?
Two vastly different critters there. So its just about which you'd use more. Title: Re:Paiste or Meinl? Post by: Vintage Ludwig on February 17, 2005, 12:10 PM If you only have 1 crash, and its a 16, I would recommend getting another crash. Just so you know, a splash and crash arent even close to each other in what their purpose is. Youll (or whoever listens to you playing) get tired of using a splash as a crash-
as far as pAisTe vs. Meinl, get whatever sounds good to you- Title: Paiste or Meinl? Post by: iwishiwastbarker on February 17, 2005, 08:47 PM paiste crash
Title: Paiste or Meinl? Post by: keyda on February 18, 2005, 03:22 AM Well, I'd choose both, 'cause I love Paiste as much as Meinl. Both companies make pretty kick ass sounding pieces of metal. But I think that second crash would be far better choice anyway.......... ;D
Title: Re:Paiste or Meinl? Post by: TSDrums on February 18, 2005, 07:43 AM In my experience, Meinl has the best warranty for cymbals under the sun. BECAUSE THEY NEED IT. 2 Year (Virtually no fault) warranty, but the cymbals are fragile.
Title: Re:Paiste or Meinl? Post by: newbeat on February 18, 2005, 04:59 PM You already have a splash, so I'd for sure go for the extra crash. If you play rock, you will definitely need more crashing power than a lone 16 incher can provide. A splash is great for a nice small effect here and there, but your crashes make up the main body of your cymbal arsenal; most medium-sized all-around cymbal setups have several.
