do you prefer the stnadard size or odd sizes?

well lately i've noticed that i've been getting a lot of inquiries on odd sizes cymbals such as 15 and 17 crashes size 7 splashes, and whenever i check our sabian sales report i saw a tremendous movement on our odd size cymbals..

well im really a size 18 crash lover but lately ive been enjoyin using my size 19 virgil donati saturation crashes..

so do you think the odd sizes cymbals are now a trend and we should order more of this?...any suggestions will help a lot..cheers...

p.s.

mike portnoy's signature odd size max splashes will be included on our next sabian shipment...

for me, the sound matters more than the size . . . it just so happen lang siguro na i found some of my preferred cymbal sounds in odd sizes: 21 for ride, 17-19 for crashes and 13 for hats, i never really placed particular attention to sizes nor do i limit myself to just one brand or series of cymbals, although i have a fetish for large crashes due to their sustain.

Let the sales figures move you. Get more 17's and 19's. 18's are good too. I'm eyeing a 17 med AA for Christmas

Ako rin, may hilig sa odd sizes. Parang tama lang sustain at decay na ewan. Basta OC ako.

Gusto ko rin ng 17" na crash. (HHXplosion, Medium Thin K, Medium Thin A)

I like larger diameters kasi lower pitch. 16s are too high. 18s are just right.

@Gep... Onga no, medium thin. I tried a medium 17" AA sa PP Mega, and I thought that it felt too thick, I don't know why. It felt heavy and parang ang bagal ng response. Maybe I should start considering medium thins. Yak, parang sanitary pad. Wala bang with wings?

ako rin, pagdating sa crashes mas gusto ko odd sizes. 17" - 19" regardless of cymbal brand. iba kasi yung response nila para sa akin. but still, i'm in love with my 16"crash, yun, may wings.. heheh.. jk

Maganda rin kasi tignan na iba ung size ng cymbals. Unique ung itsura!!! About the portnoy how much do u guys think it will cost?

Hey JP!

Ako rin... I'm a fan of the 18s but go ahead and order the odd sizes!

Pero wala pa rin tatalo sa pagka-odd size ng hybrids ko... hehehe 13 1/4"
Mahirap lang i-mix/match to my other hi hats!

13" aax fusion hats
17" AA medium thin crash

I have the the Chad Smith Explosion crash that's 18.5", which is just weird

Man I love odd sizes, 17" and 19", damn if I only have the money, now na sale pa sa Yupangco...

Is the rocktagon odd size?

ang sarap magwindows shop ng cymbals! lalo na pagsale! window shop lang. no money eh.

I'd recommend the HHX Evolutions...ANYTIME!

Well of course...to someone who would want that kind of sound and response.

I think I've gotten to a point that I prefer it now to my 15" K Custom Crash (Which is my right side crash when I use my full set-up.

hahaha...now which size to buy....another 16"?....17"? hahaha...

odd shape and size i would say

drumster · « **Reply #16 on:** December 03, 2006, 02:16:59 PM »

The Rocktagon Crashes are available in 16" and 18" sizes. The Rocktagon Splash is offered only in 10" size.

Its sizes are not odd.

wow.. .5 ang diff.... edi parang halos walang pinagkaiba ang sound/sustain niyan sa 18"??

Gep · « **Reply #18 on:** December 04, 2006, 09:26:16 AM »

Sa tingin ko, para lang masabi na signature series yung B8pro ni Chad Smith hahaha.

jpmb · « **Reply #19 on:** December 04, 2006, 10:22:43 AM »

ive just realized i have two odd size cymbals on my set up already..hehe.. a 19 virgil donati crash and a 13 aax fusion hats..hmmmm maybe i shoul think of getting a 17 donati crash..

Dindin · « **Reply #20 on:** December 04, 2006, 11:59:11 AM »

Tapos practice ka na rin ng odd-time signatures... 3/4s, 5s, etc...

then triplet rolls na rin... hehehe

Than would make you a, odd-drummer! hehehe

toybitz · « **Reply #22 on:** December 04, 2006, 04:40:47 PM »

JP,

order ka ng 17" AAX Stage Crash (Abbruzesse rules!), I'm sure marketable yan. Brilliant finish ha!

jpmb · « **Reply #23 on:** December 05, 2006, 07:49:15 AM »

hi toybitz, cge i will consider that, right now kasi we still have the 16 and 18 aax stage crash, so looks like kailangan ko muna ubosin to bago um-order ng stage crash models ng aax..cheers man and more power to your band

hey gep..we have the hhxplosion onstock already in sizes 17 and 19..well you might want to consider also the 17 hhx evolution or 17 virgil donati crash and 17 vault crashcif you want something less expensive than the hhxplosion crashes..ciao
