    what cymbals do you use,
    myself is a big paiste collector for instance

    SIMBILZ?
    I grew up with Zildjian and that is what I prefer to use.  Paiste 602 are good and now that they are being reissued I may get some but not at the high retail price.  Zildjian seems to be better at marketing their cymbals than Paiste too.

    Paiste, with just a couple of very select older Zildjians. Paiste is the rpeffered choice in my little world. :-D
  • RimShotRimShot May 2011
    I seem to prefer Paiste:
    20" 3000 Flat Ride
    18" 2002 Ride (black label 1978)
    15" Paiste 2002 SE Hats (black label 1979)
    14" Dimensions Thin Hats
    14" Twenty Hi Hats
    18" Twenty Crash
    10" Alpha Thin Splash
    17" Alpha Sensitive China
    10" Twenty Splash
    Sabian 21" HHX Groove Ride
    Sabian 21" AAX Raw Bell Dry Ride
    Sabian 18" AA El Sabor
    Wuhan 18" China w/rivets
    Wuhan 14" China/Dream Contact 12' Splash used as Trash Hats

    Going to ad Paiste 20" 2002 Ride, Paiste 20" 2002 or 3000 Heavy Ride, Paiste 18" 2002 Crash to my arsenal as I can afford it.
  • I use mostly Zildjian but I recently bought a Sabian 21" Raw Bell Dark Ride that I like a lot.  I used to have a Dream crash but tha't another story.
  • RimShotRimShot May 2011
    I can cross the 20" 2002 Crash off my list. Bought one yesterday. :-)
  • NaNoNoiZeNaNoNoiZe May 2011
    old or new 2002 and what weight?

  • RimShotRimShot May 2011
    It's a new Red Label. Don't know the actual weight but it's just a crash. Not a medium, thin or power designation.

    OK I lied. It is a medium crash after all. But hey, like I said it is new. That's my lame excuse for my mistake.:-)
  • NaNoNoiZeNaNoNoiZe May 2011
    its a slightly different alloy then the old ones from which i own a medium 16 and 18 crash,the difference being a bit less silvery but warmer sound then the first series, still very nice sounding pies
  • I mostly use Paiste Signatures with a mix of vintage 602's! For Jazz I use  Zildjian 20" K-Constanople medium ride, a Masterwork 19" Resonant crash, a 17.5" 50's Zildjian crash and a 50's set of 15" Zildjian hats.  "AWESOME"
