Reviews on my recent sabian pies
Sabian: HOOP Crasher (jojo mayer) 14 - tunog nung hoop crasher is like a stack cymbal. brighter tonal characteristic. pag nag rim shot ka kasabay hoop crasher (although hindi mo na matamaan ung rim like normally) it would sound like a snare with stack cymbal na bright so i think its best to install it on a snare with a decent depth. you can get unique sounds from hitting the crasher alone. depende rin sa higpit nung 3 pcs na lock. tunog "TCH" ung crasher. once nag install ka ng hoop crasher, wala kanang crosstick. you will hit the crasher with the hoop. pero pag sa center ka mag hit ng snare, hindi talaga tutunog ung crasher ateast you would get a full snare sound without the sound of the HC.
HHX CLICK HATS 14:
Dark, very crispy, medyo dry and somewhat agitated yung sound like the artisans. projection is not as much as the HHX evos.
Artisan Light Ride 22 - very agitated very dark ride. pati bell lubog sa dark. ganda ng wash and blends well. crashable. ping sound may kasamang agitated wash. the bell doesn't cut. blend lang talaga.
AAX Air Splash 8- very quick and agitated splash. no overtones and cuts very well. one of my favorite splash!
Paragon Diamond Back 20 - finally, after a long search of a musical china, i found it. china that produces "PAH" sound. hindi puro angas. medyo dry ung sound niya. it comes with jingles and rivets, un lang ang sustain niya. hindi sustain galing sa overtones ng china.
Wanted to write reviews on other sabians but i think it would take so much time.
