Crash/Ride

[Drummerorguitar]

I need a new crash and ride!!!! any good 1s to get?

[Sloouh]

What you currently got and what type of music do you normally play?

[Mohadiib1]

the 18" crash/ride that comes with the Forum set is awesome. Apparently it's made by Sabian but carries the Pearl Logo.

Crash rides are sorta a bad invention, they aren;t very good either way. (In my opinion.)

sabian hh rock ride, aax stage hats. just like portnoy.

[Beattimyer]

Hmmm, i always liked the K Crash/Ride. The thing about Crash/Rides is they make that great second ride, i would highly reccommend not using them as your main ride though, unless you play really light styles of music. Sometimes crash/rides seem better for use as crashes, with that nice bell sound, in which case they can add another percussive sound to your set-up, while still being a practical crash. It depends what you are looking for.

If you mean a crash and ride seperate, go for a sabian aax studio crash or a zildjian a crash, and a saban hand hammered rock ride or powerbell ride. if you mean crash/ride as one cymbal, go for a sabian aax metal crash, 19 or 20". it is no called a crash ride, but works really well as one-it has a large bell but a thin edge, so it is very loud and cutting.
hope this helps

what about this:Sabian B8 Pack(come with a free 18''crash (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2504303980&category=10174)

[CaptainMexican]

go to mass music.net any of their sabian packs are good. I recomend the AA rock pack or the PRO pack

[pearl4life2003]

ok 2 great cymbals that u should look into are the Hand Hammered Raw Bell Dry Ride (great bell and nice dry sound) and the Zildjian A Custom Sweet Ride (great ride sound w/ good bell and also plays as a crash)

[sk8drummer]

the crash ride that comes with the forum sounds good. but its lasting quality sucks. it gets marks and its edges get bent to quickly. i got some paiste 502's and they dont bend like that.

[jokerjkny]

anything with a small bell, and that's thin usually makes a killer crash/ride. they're also usually 18", but i've seen larger 20" that sound great.

[Henster3000]

dude get some zildjian a customs. cant go wrong for anything they are very versital.

[vanillaCOKE2k2]

I agree! I have used a crash ride as asecondary ride. It was a zildjian A . It did the job. I mainly used it as a crash though.

Hi I just bought a brand new starter kit with hi-hats 14'', a thin crash 16'' and a crash/ride 18''. I want to upgrade my kit. Should I buy another crash and use the crash/ride as a ride or buy a real ride 20 '' ? Reply on this forum or send me a message at pacific_gunner13@hotmail.com.

Thx

There's no such thing as A Custom Sweet Ride, period.

Any cast bronze cymbals would be good.

I'd suggest buying a "real" ride. What kind of budget are you on?

[crashride]

As you can see by my user name - I not anti-crash/ride :)
If you ever get the chance, try out the Sabian 18" El Sabor.
It's a great crash with decent ride and a monster Bell.
If stuck on a desert island, I'd pick this first along with
some hats!

I have a small budget of 300 $.

[Carlos_Melendez]

for $499 u can get an A zildjian pack: 14" quick beat hats, 16" medium thin crash, 20" medium ride, 10" splash and a 22" cymbal bag...

That sounds like a very good deal and A Zils are pretty legendary.

I would suggest a Sabian AA ride...I have a 20" Medium and it's lovely, a true all rounder. If you like more stick definition try something heavier but I'd avoid the Metal-X series as they seem quite clangy, a 20" Heavy or 21" Rock.
For a crash 18" is my favourite size and you really can't go wrong with Zildjian A Custom Projections.
