My cymbals all are pretty bad compared to all the ones that have been shown here.

14" Sabian Xs20 Medium Hats
12" Zildjian (unknown series) Splash
16" Sabian Xs20 Medium Thin Crash
20" Paiste 201 Ride
20" Sabian Xs20 Medium Ride
16" Paiste 201 Crash
18" Sabian Xs20 Crash

Although this set is quite messy, the sounds do compliment one another. For extra cymbals that me and another drummer keep, they're pretty bad ones (thats why we don't use them).

Sabian Solar set (really really horrid once you've heard/touched/felt bronze cymbals)
14" Paiste 201 Hi Hats
20" Paiste Alpha Ride


i am aiming for a A custom 21" sweet ride and a Sabian AAXplosion 19" crash.

Any comments on what i should get next?
 
My new ride....

22" Turkish Dark Hammer Ride

87561b61.jpg
 
it's sounds really dark and warm with low overtones....and the cool thing is that its made thin, so you dont get the overly throaty ticks like some other darker sounding rides...
 
Not often we see someone with a huge collection of Meinl cymbals here, very nice!
You got them from Ranking?

Would you give a review of the MB20s as well? The Byzances look great.
To alvinthedrummer: I'm guessing your ride must be smoky and click-ish sounding with those many hammer marks. How is it working for you currently in your gigs? I'm not really a fan of the tiger prints, to be honest.
 
Xs20s?

Hey guys. Awesome thread going on here.
I was practically drooling all the way as i read post after post.
Aw man. I NEED MONEY.

Anyway, I'm looking into buying cymbals because i absolutely HATE the way by cymbals sound. Trojan set. 14" 16" 22". They sound so horrible it's a turnoff to even practise. Which is bad.

So i was looking and researching for quite some time, and i found some cymbals that i like. The Sabian Xs20s Brilliant Super Set. Problem is, i went almost all over Singapore trying to find at least the crash for me to test and hear for my very self, but to no avail. So i thought i'd ask here - what do you guys think of the Xs20s? AND. Do you think i should buy them off eBay? The seller is a store, condition - new.

It's been a long long time since i've logged in and posted anything. =)

But here's an update of my latest cymbal arsenal. 2 of my cymbals (16" and 18" Paiste Signature Dark Energy Mark I) have small hairline cracks, so they are technically still in my arsenal but at the same time not really part of what i consider my working cymbal arsenal (can still be used for studio work and light playing but not for live playing)

- 13" Paiste Dark Crisp Hi-Hats
- 10" Zildjian A custom Splash
- 14" Paiste Dark Energy Mark I Hi Hats
- 17" Paiste Dark Energy Mark I Crash
- 18" Paiste Innovations Medium Crash
- 19" Paiste Dark Energy Mark I Crash
- 20" Paiste Dark Energy Mark II Ride
- 21" Paiste Dark Full Ride

And there we have it. Don't think i'll be adding anymore cymbals to this anytime soon. =)
 
The cymbals collection has been changed or "downgraded" if you call it, haha
Here it is :)

15" Zildjian Avedis Sweet Hi-hats

18" Sabian Artisan Crash
19" Sabian HHXtreme Crash
