Knowing Your Drum Set Cymbals?
Sep 5th
I started drumming a few years ago and am starting to make a full investment in my drums. Until now I’ve been playing on some fake brand drums and cymbals.
First, whenever I see small bands, the drummer usually has like 5 cymbals: hi hats, crash, ride, and what are the two others (one is usually small)?
Second, what would be the best brand (zildjian, paiste, sabian) and make of the cymbal? I really wish to know what the other 2 cymbals are.
My friend currently has 14″ hats, 20″ ride, 16″ china (looks kinda like an upside down cymbal),3 16″ crashes (totally different sounds), and 10″ & 8″ splashes (tiny cymbals). As for brands…Just gotta hit them and see what sound you like. We got one crash, hats and the ride in a pack. Zildjian’s Planet Z starter pack. They’re pretty good sounding. Deeper undertone than Hubby normally likes but pretty good. The 2 other crashes are Sabians as well as the splashes and the china is a Meinl.
