Another vote...3rd one I believe, for 20" K Custom Dark. Sounds great for jazz and and avoids geetting "washy" when played louder for rock.
Great "shimmering" sound.

22" Sabian Paragon: for rocking out; great cutting bell and a good ping to it.
I recently acquired a 21" Istanbul Alchemy Professional Ride and this one is really growing on me fast. Not too bright, not too dark, not too pingy, and not to washy. Just right!

Quote from: 563 on June 30, 2005, 03:49:50 PM (...) classic handmade Turkish style job in a "jazz" weight (~2700g).(...) lol, that's "jazz" weight?!  Hence the quotes  "Jazz" is how they tagged it. I'd have to weigh it again to be sure, might be closer to 2500. Still for a 22 its not like its that heavy. |

So are we going to have to start weighing all of our cymbals now? I do have a digital scale.
Is that the new thing now?

Mine are heavy - especially when they're all in the bag.  |

i love the K Custom Dark, but while the 20" is fine by all means, the 22" is KILLER!!! awesome lower pitched wash with a weighty stick feel. terrific ride if you can find it in that size. So are we going to have to start weighing all of our cymbals now? I do have a digital scale.

lol, you havent been to cymbalholic.com have you? |

I recently purchased another Paiste ride.... It's the 21" Silver Mellow (Signature series) ride. It's not a loud cymbal, but what a gem. The sound is everything they describe. http://www.paiste.com/products/cymbals/signature_rides.php and is even better than I expected. I use 2 rides and wanted something to play that's good for fill along with the singer. Then I switch to a louder/cutting ride for lead instrument fills. I've been a Ziljian fan for years, but acquired some Paistes a few years back and mixed them together. When it came time to replace an old cracked cymbal I took it with me and matched the sound "close" to my old Rock 21 I've had for years. I went to a Paiste seminar and ended up coming home with the Silver Mellow ride.... Very nice! |

22'' Paiste 2002. VERY sweet sounding ping with good wash but controllable. I can have it sounding SO pretty but if you get in my face (guitarists) i can easily let you know whos driving the band and your Marshall stack aint got nothin to say about it. Come on Nigel, turn it up to 11!!!!.

I have three rides I really like but a 20" Zildjian K Custom Dry is my most recent purchase and the one I am favoring currently. The others are an older 20" Zildjian Z Power Ride that weighs a ton and will cut through nearly any other sounds in the vicinity. Lastly I have a 20" Zildjian Medium ride that I have had since the late 70's which has a super sweet shimmer to it.....
They are all great and get plenty of use; It just depends on the type of music I happen to be playing.

Just got a sweet deal (about 1/2 price) on a Sabian AAX 20" Stage Ride. Gorgeous sound. My new favorite, although I still have and use my Sabian Pro 20" Dry.
