sabian hh medium ride / sabian aax dry ride

Posts: 7 Threads: 4

Hi peeps

I'd really appreciate your insight on this one...

I need a versatile ride... hoped to get something with a broad tonal palette across the surface, a separated bell, medium to bright tone, controlled wash undertones and sweet shimmering overtones, clearly defined stick response and possibly light crash-ability as well (if poss' ... I don't expect much do I).

Now I know that cymbals are highly subjective and its difficult to get another persons suggestions but ...

I have a Sabian HH 20" medium ride. It's lovely in smaller ensembles but the under wash is too loud and sustaining making it's less defined and not versatile enough for Funk, Rock, Pop etc.

I have been offered a swap for the lesser value AAX dry ride. Do people think I should accept? Would it suit my purposes more?

Could people describe the AAX dry? What are your experiences with it? What music genres does it suit?

AAX dry aside... can people suggest a quality ride that fits the description at the start of this post?

Thanks in advance all

the aax dry ride you are speaking of has most of the qualities you seek except shimmering overtones, it is a more of a dull decal to it, but if it is local to you go play it, once again wanting a crash ability in a ride you need to stay more medium thin weight

Thanks everyone ... some good advice and some good humor.

Actually sometimes the other half makes more noise than a cymbal...

wakes the neighbors on occasion.

Cheers.
