Oooh, Chef I dig that setup.  I bet it sounds very sweet......

Yeah, I finished my whole cymbal changeover, this is the best set up I have had yet. I just love those Giant Beats, especially the 24", I can't beleive how well it crashes. I feel like I got a 2 for 1 deal on cymbals Grin

My Current config is:

18" Sabian B8 Pro Med-Thin Crash
18" Sabian B8 Pro Medium Crash
20" Zildjian K Custom Ride
14" Sabian B8 Pro Medium Hats
8" Zildjian K Splash
10" Zildjian K Splash

Hopefully I will soon be adding a 12" K Splash, a 12" or 14" Wuhan China and a 16" or 18" Wuhan.

I like a lot of variety in cymbal land.  A wide combination of cymbals plus the multiple sounds you can get from each (bell, bow, edge, etc) has always been a thing for me.

Just a note ... I do believe the question was how many you use in your setup, not how many you have.  

I mention this because the number of people that seem to use 8+ seems a bit steep.

Paiste������14" Signature Dark Crisp Hi Hat Cymbals
Paiste������16 inch Signature Full
Paiste������18 inch Signature Full
Paiste������21" SIGNATURE FULL RIDE
Paiste������12" SIGNATURE SPLASH
Paiste������18" 2002 China Cymbal
Paiste������6" Exotic Bell Chime

You and me like just about the same sounds.  I love the 14" dark crisp hats  but I prefer the sound of the 16, 17, 18" sound formulas over the signatures (for rock).

I have an 18" 2002 novo china that I really like.

Then the 20" sound creation full ride- a bit tricky to play, but not too tough.

And the 8" sound creation splash which is really weird sounding for a splash.  I bought it used with a slight bend in it, but I like it!

i have 8, sort of, and use them all. i did have another crack, but found it uneeded. so my road setup is:

14" AAX stage hats
10" AAX splash
6" Zil bell
16" AAX studiio crash (beautiful!!)
16" AA extreme crash
18" AAX metal x crash
20" AA rock ride
18" wuhan china

i usually mount the 6" bell on my ride upsidedown. the ride is awesome and nice a great bell already, i only do it to get rid of stands/boom arms and make it more compacted.  i used to have a 17" AAX studio crash, but downsized. i am thinking about though adding a 19" wuhan to the left of me (china on right and left...symmetry you know Smiley

I,for one, can confirm I actually use 9 in my set up which also is every cymbal I own currently.

YES!! nice is not the word. The GB's are the nicest cymbals I have ever owned. YOu have to get out and hit a few, the 24" is nothing short of astounding, it crashes almost as good as it rides too.

I just bought a pair of those on New Years Eve....Played them at the gig that night. What a delightful pair of cymbals, but not the kind of cymbal for people that get upset when they mess up. Those hat's will show every mistake.... Great sounding hats.    Cool
