Author Topic: Three-Crash Setup Help! (Read 2782 times)

Hey, guys. I'm blueprinting my cymbal setup right now, and I kinda have decided which cymbals to get except for one. I blueprinted a three-crash setup. I'm getting a 17"A Custom Projection Crash and a 19" K Custom Hybrid Crash. I can't decide on what 18" crash to get. I'm currently considering the 18" K Dark Medium Thin Crash, but I'd like to know your opinion about what would blend with the two cymbals that I mentioned. I'd prefer it to be dark, since the AC is bright, and the Hybrid is like in the middle of bright and dark, so yeah. Btw, I currently play in an alternative rock band and in the church worship team, but in the long run I see my self playing fusion, so I'm trying to put together a versatile setup here.

Thanks, and Godspeed!

Fast crash...

go for the AC's or K's Thin/Med Thin Crashes or go for the ozones/fx to give you more variations on your sound. you might want to try 16" instead of the 18"

18" K Dark Medium Thin Crash to go with 17"A Custom Projection Crash and a 19" K Custom Hybrid Crash seems to be really off-range in terms of volume in a band setup. I think you should stick with K Customs or A Customs for even projection, so either match the 17 or the 19. The lower/higher pitch will make up for the warmth/brightness difference, vary na lang sa attack when you play.

18" K Custom Dark Crash would do.. It perfectly blends with Projection crashes

favorite crash ko, 18" A MediumThin Crash.

18" A/K Fast Crash or 18" A/K Thin Crash...

and experiment, Left 17", Right 18", Right most 19".

Go with the Thins and Med-Thins...

Mine are A Avedis Med-thin 16", K Custom Dark 18" and K Custom fast 17"...

Sarap ng projection...

Kung rock naman, I'd do what sir Inigo suggested... mga large size crashes...

Thanks sa mga suggestions!

Actually, wala pa talaga akong high-end cymbals. Nagpaplano lang talaga ako. Gusto ko kasi naka-set na yung mga kukunin ko. And I'm getting my first crash this summer. For now Sabian B8 lang ako. Haha!

I'm starting to lean with what Mr. Inigo suggested. Would an 18" AC Proj crash do? Or maybe a KC Dark Crash.

Suggest lang kayo mga bros!

kung wala ka pang high end cymbals, hats at ride ang unahin mo. sila ang mga pinakamadalas mong gagamiting cymbals, at sila ang huhubog ng tunog ng buong setup mo.

Actually, nakaplano na rin sila. Naisip kong kunin K Mastersounds at K Dark Medium Ride. Kaso crash lang talaga muna kukunin ko this summer for some reason. Hehe. Ayun. Pure planning palang talaga.

kung ako sa yo, unahin mo na hats + ride + isang crash. 90% ng gusto mong gawin ay kaya na sa setup na yan, lalo na kung crashable ang ride mo.

ang DAMI kasi ng tatlong crash. dumaan din ako diyan e. isip ko nung una ba kailangan may low/mid/high pitch na crash, tas low/high na china, etc etc. kaso eventually naramdaman ko ring parang sobra naman, hindi naman pala kailangan ng ganon karaming options.

mas mabuti nang masanay ka munang meron nung mga fundamental na piyesa, bago ka mag-expand sa pagkakaroon ng maraming crash.

kelzkie · « **Reply #16 on:** March 29, 2011, 10:56:59 AM »

2 crashes lang ok na.. try a 16" or 17" as a main crash, then add an 18".. plus ride.. madami na nga yung 3 crashes. pwede rin gawin mo na lang china yung isa instead of crash..

Question: Have you actually heard/played any of the cymbals you are eyeing?

-this is TRUE!!!

naging problema ko din to dati - wanting to buy a cymbal na di ko pa naririning/napapalo

kaya mas ok na pakinggan nyo muna yung cymbal na gusto mo talaga, mas ok din kung magamit mo muna.. iba kasi yung nagamit mo rin sa narinig mo lang
