Turkish Cymbals

[alvinthedrummer]

Yo, Jeepers, that should be Charmaine. She sings in my band too...kill 2 birds with one stone! Check her out at www.myspace.com/rockinalvin

As for the chinas, both Alfe and I have the 21" classic china. I've always prefered big chinas cos they have less "bite" and has a deeper tone with broader dynamics (more colours to play with)....I actually use it more as a ride than anything else...

DH is the man...MAN....haha. Should go look at the pics of his bosphorus collection...killer!

 

[RudimentalDrummer]

yo jeeper and I'm also bringing my 20" Paiste 502 Ride and a HAMMER along there - - - - ask DH to hammer it .... basket but don't spoil my ride har Bro DH...whahahahahaha :lol:

 

[plainsman]

yeahhh... i see the 22" china in the horizon as well... heh, am acquiring chinas to stack them. will explore a kit with only chinas.. need about 12-15 chinas though (kinda like a sized-down bozzio kit)

 

[drum_hobbyist]

Drilling no prob... hammering... no prob... 8)

I will be bring a modified Paiste 502 12" splash... out of this world!!! 8)

 

[plainsman]

dh... i didn't know u do HAMMERING too 8O power!!

 

[jeepers]

whoa plainsman, FIERCE. gonna cost you though, unless you use wuhans that is! heh. but i would like to see that setup when it's up and running. gonna be way cool.

ehhhh i also wanna hammer leh, hammer and drill can? :twisted: kiasu A BIT. a bit only :lol: the ride only cost me $30 so it's all good lol.

oh DH, the splash is the one you put 4 nuts and bolts is it? that one sounds really really good!

 

[plainsman]

yeahhhh jeepers ... bro i am still human, and not a filthy rich one at that 8O

i will be acquiring 3 pairs of wuhans (11, 16, 18) to go along with 6-8 chinas of various brands. i need to try them out first.

some day, one of my vision is to engage a cymbal smith to make me a set of chinas of various sizes but with a single identity.

likely i will be trying this prototype setup in a instrumental with one of my projects. share with u guys then!

 

[jeepers]

ooo the last the whole gang of us went down to the lion dance shop at paya lebar, i think only had 16" chinas. reubs cjl and i bought one each. marc and i still waiting for our 18" ones to arrive. gammy and his friend ordered 14" i think.

i quite in love with meinl's filter chinas man. they sound really good!

[niteoverday]

where can i get the turkish cymbals and do they sell by sets or just one cymbal??

 

[mel80]

niteoverday:
You can check out Turkish cymbals at The Music Lab located at Paradiz Centre.
http://www.themusiclab.com.sg/

They sell the cymbals individually, if I'm not wrong.

Hope this helps
