Post by: Eni on August 03, 2006, 09:28:34 PM
A or AA is not what ur looking for.
they are bright cymbals.
sabian AA is cheaper than zildjian A
quality = the same. cant go wrong wit em.

for dark,
get HH,HHX,K,Kcustom.

or

AAX dark, A customs.

go to yer local store bring ur stick and start banging cymbals.then choose.

tamang tama si sir eni.
pagisipan mo na lang kung mag sabian ka o zildjian. pero kahit ano sa dalawa wala kang talo men!
mas na inlove lang talaga ako sa sabian. depende sa drummer yan

Post by: vinoyarey on August 04, 2006, 04:03:25 PM
that's what zildjian said,that a's are brighter sounding than k's, k custom etc. but i have an a thin crash which sounds darker than my k custom dark crash. both are size 18,for me you really have to hear it personally :wink:
Title: AA's VS A's
Post by: Gep on August 04, 2006, 04:59:18 PM
Para darker ang cymbal mo, dapat bigger, thinner, at randomly hammered.

So para sa crashes, ang pinaka-extreme na dark e 19" K Thin Dark Crash at 19" K Custom Dark Crash. Sila rin ang may matagal na sustain dahil sa size.

Kung A ang habol mo, pero dark, 18" Thin Crash o bigger.

Post by: vinoyarey on August 04, 2006, 06:17:01 PM
i agree with gep sa bigger and thinner,obviously bigger and thinner means lower pitch. pero parang duda ko sa random hammering nbasa ko ksa sa ibang forum marketing ploy lang daw ng zildjian un. not sure though. chek nyo ung cymbalholic.com ska groovologist.com may mga marunong mag hammer ng cymbals. and i beliv they know wat they are talking about. meron dun zbt ata un kayang gawing 2nog K! sana meron din d2 marunong mag hand hammer
Title: AA's VS A's
Post by: Eni on August 04, 2006, 06:27:06 PM
zbt lacks body (beefy sound), and sheet cymbals un. kahit na gawin mong thin.mabibitin ka lng. good for jazz though IMO

gep is correct.
random hammering = darker and full bodied.
symmetrical hammering = even blend of overtones,execelent projection quality,brighter.

Post by: ciro on August 04, 2006, 06:34:31 PM
thanx bros... but w/c has a darker sound? AA or A's? ung same size and thickness... Ive read the paiste handbook and it cover everything u need to know about how the cymbal sound works... galing na booklet yun!

the thing is i havent compared AA's & A's side by side, eh mahal ang K's eh so A's lang or AA's...

 may brilliant bang AA's?

hindi nya ginawang thin hinammer nya. i dnt know why zildjian cant make a good sound out of b8. paiste used b8 alloy pero ganda ng tunog

hmm.. neither are dark. they're not too bright but they're still on the bright side of teh spectrum.

Di pa ako nakakarinig ng AA kaya I cannot comment on those. Meron akong A crash and its very bright compared to my K crash.

vinoyarey- panalo ung link! misleading tlaga ang zildjian,ung iba ksi mabasa lng sa magazine ng ziljian na random hammerring=etc nani2wala agad. prand dti ung first gen ng k cons hand hammered daw and sounds like old ks to justify their high prices! we all know its not hand hammered and i hav one,it doesnt comes close to the sound of old ks! ska ung k custom ride dba wlang lathing un top and bottom? eh bket ang mahal? dpat ka presyo lng ng avedis un! un lng nman ang mga tnong sking isipan. hehe!

ciro-meron ako A thin crash,it sounds dark for me. and alam ko sa sabian pwede ka mamili kung brilliant o traditional finish. at saka wlang 19 na k custom dark crash sa pagkakaalam ko

Post by: Blueberri on August 08, 2006, 07:31:36 PM
B8 pro vs ZHT vs Sabian XS or any other sets around 20k you may suggest.

Mga Sir, which ones the best overall? price,sound,durability. also a set that fits in with a lot of musical styles.

im not much of a drum guru, and im planning to get a new set for my studio. it will also be used for recording sometimes.

i'd get the Sabian Paragon set with flight case if a had the money, but finances are tight. :lol:

thanks!!!
Title: B8 pro vs ZHT vs XS
Post by: Eni on August 08, 2006, 07:48:53 PM
XS definitely,b8 and zht are sheet cymbals(beginer sets)
i suggest buy cymbals individually.

versatility = zildjian Avedis/sabian AA/AAX
Recording = A customs/K,Kcustoms/HH/HHX

durability? wtf is that.lol
ok durability,depends sa technique mo.gets?

lahat ng sinabi ko, ok sa sound.
lahat ng sinabi mo except sa paragons ay mga beginer cymbals.

complete set of paragons? aabutin ka ng 115000 pesos
meron aq paragon. pero ride lang buwahhaha.lol
Title: B8 pro vs ZHT vs XS
Post by: omnicloud7 on August 08, 2006, 08:46:18 PM
definitely xs20's!

wag ka maniwala sa mga advertisements ng ZHT, they're really not that good compared sa xs20's.  :D
Title: B8 pro vs ZHT vs XS
Post by: drumster on August 09, 2006, 02:48:33 AM
In my opinion, Sabian makes the best entry-level cymbals.  

Paiste could be a close second.  Paistes are Euro-style cymbals, so they most likely know better their way around sheet-style cymbals.

Zildjian makes excellent cast cymbals.  But their entry-level sheet bronze cymbals are not so nice.  I recently tried the ZBTs; it doesn't feel great & there's so much lack of cut and body in its sound.
Title: B8 pro vs ZHT vs XS
Post by: Blueberri on August 09, 2006, 09:25:27 AM
thanks guys,

@ eni: durability? it wouldnt be a problem kung ako lang gagamit, its a rehearsal/recording studio...its really not a problem kung beginer cymbals, as i said finances is a big factor. im keeping it at around 20k for the set. so customs and the like are out of the question. di naman kailangan sobra ganda ng tunog. kelangan ko lang ng decent na set to start out recording with...its not going to be a 700/hr full blown recording studio naman eh.

@ Omnicloud: sa mga tiningnan ko sa web yung XS20s seem to be a good choice. di ko pa na try ang ZHTs, but ill take your word...

@ Drumster: yeah, i was thinking about paiste, kaso lagi wala stocks sa audiophile. i had a pair of 402 hihats and they sound quite well. matibay din naman...you know where i can get 502s? ok ba sila??

kala ko ur "own" studio. papagamit mo pala,aba eh kung ako chunks of metal papagamit ko sa kanila hahahah joke. ok, u gave me specific details.

definitely,what the guy said earlier, sabian makes good beginer cymbals, like b8s,16k w/ free 18" crash, tapos paiste pst5 around 15k ata. wag ka sa zildjian overrated un.pangit pa.

i dunno if i'm correct pero sa tingin ko ang magaganda sa zildjian yung mga classic series like the k's a's z's and avedis'es depende kasi sa trip mong tunog. sabian and paiste cymbals are great pero syempre nga depende talaga sa tunog na gusto mo...

isipin mo nalang...2 mos plang ang zxt nya pero willing na sya itrade sa 2yrs na b8pro mo... at sya pa ang nag-propose ng swap!

malamang lang na di sya satisfied sa fresh zxt nya.

wow...parang sinampal zxt dito sa thread na to ah?peace sa zxt lovers and users... :D

hi there, jp here from the sabian dept. yes man the xs20's are cast cymbals but this are lower priced compared to the much higher models aax and hhx, we still have the xs20's that comes with a free crash and this are limited edition only for their 25th anniv.,.cheers..

Ever since.. Zildjian ang preferred ko..

OT: What can you guys say about a Zildjian bought around 1984? or almost 23 years old (maybe older) My friend's father has those and I've noticed that they are still in good condition, but quite heavier.. Sounds heavy.. Is it better or of same quality as compared to newly manufactured type?


Title: Re: ano mas prefer niyo? zildjian o sabian?
Post by: kibohead on November 05, 2006, 07:08:09 PM
Actually both brands offer different sounds, qualities that's why these companies made different models or series helping out a drummer's taste of sound.

Sabian user na ako...dati Zildjian, siguro i found the sound i've been wanting with Sabian's Hand Hammered and AAX series. :-)

Post by: Akira JUMBO on November 06, 2006, 06:20:25 AM
First of all no offense to any cymbal afficionado..this is my opinion and mine alone :mrgreen:

I myself is a Zildjian user ever since..but I regularly use sabians in the weekly meetings I attend..I have to say I am very impressed with what I hear with the Sabians as for the drummers perspective..very sharp..ganda talaga..and to think b8 lang yung nagagamit ko.. :-D several incidents when we record gigs, I noticed though that in my sense of preference the Zildjians sounded better..that's me again for the nth time..As a zildjian user I have to be somewhat jealous how some sabians are crisp and very defined..I have already come across a lot of zildjian cymbals and would still give full and utmost respect for sabians.. :wink: Though I think audience sound perspective differ from the drummers sounf perception..so it still boils down to preference..

Given the chance I would not mind owning a second set myself..this time I would be willing to try out the "S" instead of the "Z" for a change  :mrgreen:

Oo tinitipid na nga nila ang bakal. Unang napansin ko sa difference ng weight sa New Beat hats e. Itinuro sakin ni Mike D yung difference ng weight ng old and new New Beat hats na 14". Napansin ko ngang magkaiba ang timbang nila.

im not brand conscious and i really mix and match between zildjian, sabian, and paiste. there are no boundaries naman eh, moreover there is no cymbal police to stop you from tryin out sounds between brands. go for it, you'll feel much better.

Yep its a pair of hats 14" w/ crash 16" and ride 20"

eto yung sinasabi ko na B8
http://www.zzounds.com/item--SABB8PERFPK

kaso yung sakin sa musiciansfriend ko na bili last february, comes 1/ a free cymbal bag at B8 18" Thin Crash for only $189 yata sa pagkakaalala ko, meron din niyan mismo sa Yamaha sa megamall 2 months ago kung aalala ko 13k ang presyo nil;a comes w/ a cymbal bag too at 18" thin crash B8

or eto rin yun http://www.amazon.com/Sabian-Performance-Pack-Free-Splash/dp/B0002H0OU2
ang kaso lang diyan is 10" na AAX splash ang free wala yatang cymbal bag at 18" na crash pero tignan mo yung price "    $179.99"

Sir Bugoy tnx for the update, tanong ko lang yung tungkol sa musiciansfriend, ilang bwan dumating yung package and magkano charge ng shipment pag d2 pinas

hindi ko pina ship dito, naghintay ako ng kakilala na uuwi, nung malaman ko na uuwi yung isa kong friend from california, umorder ako online at dun ko sa house niya sa california pinaship, free shipping 5 days.. then inuwi niya dito hand carry kaya wala ako binayaran shipping medyo nakakahiya nga lang mabigat kc eh hehehe kapalan ng mukha... pero ni compute ko yan kung ipapaship mo yan from US papunta dito aabutin ka ng mahigit $90 - $120 shipping palang. kaya dun ka na lang sa yupangco unless may kakilala ka rin uuwi hehehe

sabi palpak daw crash ng B8? ok ba ung B8pro kesa b8?

again its the classic "sabi nila" qoute...bro there are many factors to be considered on this..is the thing they told you fact or just plain idea?...do they have a b8 cymbal that they experienced it thats why they comment that way or is it because they are long time drummers already and have that enough experience and knowledge more than anyone else?..its best to get idea from your drumming bro but in the end its your decision that will matter...bro if im to buy a zildjian cymbal then i would ask a long time zildjain cymbal user..at least it his experience on the brand will guide me..same thing with sabian, i will ask a credible sabian user and gather information on the brand..even if i were to settle with other brands like stagg..then sa mga stagg users ako magtatanong, at least i would get there honest opinion.

b8' are lower pitch compared to b8 pro and b8 are natural finish and b8 pro are brilliant...man after you gather all the idea of what cymbal to choose at the end of the day its still that money in your pocket the biggest factor..well if you think you have the enough dough to splash on..then dont go for the lower end cymbals anymore..go for the hi-end..at least that "palpak" issue wont bother and worry you anymore..just my two cents my drumming brother..  :wink:

again its the classic "sabi nila" qoute...bro there are many factors to be considered on this..is the thing they told you fact or just plain idea?...do they have a b8 cymbal that they experienced it thats why they comment that way or is it because they are long time drummers already and have that enough experience and knowledge more than anyone else?..its best to get idea from your drumming bro but in the end its your decision that will matter...bro if im to buy a zildjian cymbal then i would ask a long time zildjain cymbal user..at least it his experience on the brand will guide me..same thing with sabian, i will ask a credible sabian user and gather information on the brand..even if i were to settle with other brands like stagg..then sa mga stagg users ako magtatanong, at least i would get there honest opinion.

b8' are lower pitch compared to b8 pro and b8 are natural finish and b8 pro are brilliant...man after you gather all the idea of what cymbal to choose at the end of the day its still that money in your pocket the biggest factor..well if you think you have the enough dough to splash on..then dont go for the lower end cymbals anymore..go for the hi-end..at least that "palpak" issue wont bother and worry you anymore..just my two cents my drumming brother..  :wink:




hi sir jp! mejo OT lang po pero about sa sabian naman question ko... I've seen that you are very well armed when it comes to sabian topics. just want to ask you the durability of sabian b8 14" thin crash. just both awhile ago and napansin ko na manipis nga talaga sya. my question is how long will it last? sa gigs ko lang po balak gamitin and my band usually have at least 6 gigs per month. tnx in advance.  :-)

^ proper cymbal hitting lang yan my friend. dami ako kilala na kahit mahina pumalo kapag mali palo sa cymbals nababasag pa rin.

Experience ko lang sa ZBT and B8. I am a ZBT 4 owner for 7+ years now. And i'm proud to say na buo pa rin hats ko. Buo pa rin ride ko (although my chip na sya sa gilid dahil sa hairline crack sa pagkahulog ng p.a.) yung crash ko lang nawasak pero take note, after 4 years sya nabasag. kahit na under tremendous pressure sya. 2000 ko pa na-aquire ang zbt ko. grad gift sa akin ng uncle ko sa states. i just wonder bakit magkaiba ang quality ng zbt dito sa us? we bought one for the studio we practice in, after 6 months basag na yung crash. samantalang sa akin bagu-bago pa lang sa studio tumagal ng 4 years yung crash. tapos comparing the planet z noon sa ngayon, masyado na malambot ang planet z ngayon madali mabasag.

sa sabian naman tayo. madalas magamit ko sa labasan ang b8 / b8 pro and masarap rin sya paluin. i'd like to have a set nga if my zbt's would retire or gawin ko aux hats ang zbt ko tapos main hats ko ang b8.

about their sound, sure they won't be as good as the K series or aax and stuff pero it sounds good pa rin. check out our songs sa purevolume.com/cerealbunny yan yung zbt ko. pero di pa mastered yung tracks. hehe.

Ditto. I'm a Zildjian guy, but I don't find the ZBT crash and hats to my liking (The ride is divine though!). As for B8, I like the hats, ride, and especially love the crash! IMO, Sabian's sheet bronze lines don't sound cheap at all! I recently fell in love with the XS20 crash that I played at a Purple Haze gig a while ago. :-D

opinion ko lang.  Maganda ang zbt para sa akin.. b8 is ok but the 16" crash of b8 is more lower tone than the zbt.

zbt really owns a cutting sounds of crash and ride.

what i love about the b8 is their hats..

they are both great cymbals.....

depends on what you want..  Try each before you buy.  the one that catch your attention will be the great choice man.......

Thanks brod...  But I already bought a zxt set and its satisfying.....  Now i can tell.   ZXT is better sounding than the b8 of sabian..  Our church uses a b8 set and kinumpara ko sya brod, mas ok ang ZXT...

I'm using my ZXT for 3 wiks na and its getting better and better.....  Mas matagal ang sustained great Sheek sounding ng hats...  great ride perfect matching ng sounds..... The Medium thin crash really take the cutting sounds.... 

Sorry for the B8 lover....... Peace......

Pero di ko lang malaman kung bakit mas gusto nila B8 kesa sa ZXT...

Pero honestly B8 is Better than ZBT pero ZXT is tougher.....

The thickness is great and ang tindi ng response nya....
Try ZXT mga Bro.. Wag lang Titanium ha di ko type ang tunog nun... Matinis....

Post by: G_CLEFT2004 on December 22, 2007, 01:02:56 PM
I am a user of both cymbals..  kung pop ka choose zxt pare loud and agressive to at mas malutong ang tunog.  If ever mag tutugan ng rock swak pa din sya kasi ang ZXT ay di malagong and di din matinis kaya mas ok sya sa akin.

Well about sa thread isa lang masasabi ko. both cymbals are good but I prefer ZXT much thicker ang metal nito at cool ang tunog.. 

About sa sinasabi nila na mabilis masira??????  Well nasa napalo at proper hitting of Cymbals lang yn.  Kasi I own a ZBT before yet di pa ako nakasira...

Hope nakatulong to...

DURABILITY = Z Custom  ( i think its because that its B20 )
SOUND WISE = undecided. . .  (parehong malakas :)  )
CUTTING POWER = APX  ( B8 has the highest pitch of all as i know )
MUSICALITY = APX (biased ako :D sabian! )

Experience ko sa Z Custom crashes: LOUD, CUTTING, PROJECTS WELL pero may pagka-gongy. Aside from this, hindi ko rin gusto yung dynamics nya. Hindi rin versatile. It's right at home for metal, but won't work for other genres. Nabingi yung alternative band ko sa rehearsal studio sa Z Custom crash nung nagpractice kami. :lol: Come to think of it, pati yung metal band ko nabibingi when I use the house crash sa rehearsal studio na yun hahah.

As for the ride? I love it! Excellent stick definition, pingy, and a nice blend of not-so-washy overtones.

APX vs Z Custom? Lamang ang Z Custom sa live situations. I heard the APXes... Kulang sa character eh. :-D

tama.. nkapalo na ko ng apx sa perfect pitch.. malakas siya.. malakas lang. pero musicality, parang kulang. hindi marunong kumanta. sigaw lang. sa z customs kasi, malakas siya, and at the same time, maganda yung sound na galing sa kanila. tsaka kung titignan mo naman, apx are b8's and z custom's are b20. lamang ang z custom, pero hindi ko sinasabing pangit ang b8. hehe. yun lang.

Going back to the thread i've started not so long ago, the APX china has a very high pitch. Reminds me of my old B8 Pro china na naibenta ko na dito..gustong gusto ko tunog nun..

For the crashes, the APX's were way too heavy for me, i think katumbas nya na ung mga Z custom projections...I use the Z custom medium crash..kaya sakto lang ung response nya para sa kin...It still has its musicality and the sheer volume that I needed when I'm on gigs with my band. On the other side, may binabagayan nga lang cya na tugtugan tulad ng metal or rock. Well, para sa kin pwede pang gawing rides ang mga 18-20" crashes nila. The bell is beautiful :-)

Post by: woodstockintheattic on January 07, 2009, 09:43:53 AM
Not to be closed minded or anything since I've never tried the APX series but I think I'll stick to my Z Customs. As mentioned earlier it does cut through without losing musicality. Admittedly it isn't the best cymbal in terms of versatility but with they could really blend well with other (Zildjian) cymbal lines such as the A Custom. An all Z Custom setup would be overkill!  :lol:

A LOT of sabian pies are not available here, yun yung jaw dropping cymbals nila

Nakumpleto ko line up ko via international orders and no regrets ang ggwapo nila  :lol:

nag start din ako sa zildjian pero dahil sa mga napapanood ko and yung sunod sunod nila na NAMM awards noon made me shift to sabians. Ang ganda ng models nila especially dun sa high end models nila like AA/AAx/HH/HHx at signatures. Siyempre as a drummer, gusto mo expand yung cymbals mo with your playing, ayun ang nahirapan ako dito satin...come to think of it, Sabian has the most models available, pero di lahat yan kaya ipasok sa pinas, siguro kasi given na baka di kayanin ng pinoy drummers ang presyo nila, ayun nabitin ako kakahanap ng gusto ko. That's why i returned to Zildjians, invested on their higher models. So far, no regrets, and I'm proud to say that i found the sound I've been looking for.  :-) Pero di ko sinasabi na zildjian na ako forever...syempre, with regards to sound preference, pwede yan parin yan magbago.

so far wala pa ako zildjian na cymbals but i have used some of it, mostly sabian pa lang..kuntento ako sa sabian sounded pleasant to my ears. am not saying that sabian are far better than zildjian though but there are some lines that zildjian shines also and vice versa. too bad that sabian products are not that readily available here sa pinas at kung meron man limited lang walang masyadong stocks ng mga high end lines nila.. sana dumami na ang stocks ng yupangco para mas wide ang options natin. same thing with JB music: bring more high end cymbals and make it in an affordable at pang masang presyo..

mas ok ang quality/durability ng sabian, for me...
pinag isipan ko dati kung stagg, istanbul, or saian b8. napili ko yung b8 kasi ok naman skin yung tunog nya saka pang matagalan!
pero kung may pera zildjian ako for now, kasi hindi ko pa nasusubukan yung mga hi-end ng sabian eh... :-( sana maka try ako para malaman ko yung cymbals na papangarapin ko... :lol:

dati talaga zildjian at paiste gusto ko isa na din dahilan siguro di ako masyado nakaka try ng sabian. pero nun na try ko kasi iba kasi yun pagka warm nya tska ang iba yun pagka kapal nya. ang gusto ko naman sa zildjian yun kalat at sabog nya.. pero kung papliin ako ngayon zildjian o sabian. sabian na lang! problema lang kasi konti napapasok na sabian dito satin. mas madami zildjian. hehe. pero di naman ibig sabihin na sarado na ako sa zildjian, paiste at ibang brand. sa ngayon meron ako sabian,zildjian at paiste. para sakin importante parin yun tunog na gusto mo sunod na yun quality at durability nun cymbal kasi sa price kahit mahal pa yan basta sulit ka. so kahit anong brand yan ok yan basta ganun.

Post by: FINGERZAP on December 09, 2009, 08:19:05 PM
When I started out in drumming, gusto ko talagang bumuo ng all-Sabian set na high end kasi nag-umpisa ako sa B8 and nagustuhan ko sila talaga. Kaso nga, like what was mentioned in this thread, hirap talaga sa availability ang Sabian (especially because I live in the province). So I switched to Zildjians. Kudos to JB for bringing in a wide array of models to choose from. At ang maganda pa, kapag sale, mas mura pa price ng JB compared to online sellers such as Musician's Friend! And since it's prohibitively expensive for me to assemble another all-Sabian set or all-Paiste set (I don't like mixing brands in a kit. Maganda one brand lang para feeling endorser kapag tumutugtog. :-D), mukhang Zildjian all the way na 'ko. Unless magkaroon ako ng kapitbahay na naka all-Sabian or all-Paiste, pwede sigurong offeran ko sya ng cymbal set-swap para maka-try ng ibang brands.

In short, hindi tunog ang naging criteria ko sa pagpili ng brand kundi price and availability. Pero kung tunog lang talaga pagpipilian, for sure meron at meron tayong magugustuhan na models from the Big 3 cymbal brands.

4) most of the people I know (pinoy, hapon, chinese, kano) gusto Zildjian.

though hindi ko pa na-try lahat ng klase ng sabian cymbals, dun sa mga nasubukan ko pag pinapalo ko, may naririnig akong parang nagsusubok mag tanggal ng plema. (kkkkkkhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuk sound) hindi ko alam yung tamang term dito. compared sa zildjians na napalo ko na (bhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssshhhhhhhhh sound) yung naririnig ko. kaya gusto ko ang zildjians. :D

tsaka yung availability rin ng sabians dito tila limitado... tama ba? (though kasalanan na yun ng local distributor.)

NOTE: sabians i've tried are AA crash, AAX crash, B8pro Crash, Ride and Hats
         zildjians i've tried are too many to mention... :D
Title: Re: ano mas prefer niyo? zildjian o sabian?
Post by: omnicloud7 on January 09, 2010, 04:18:47 PM
depende na rin sa tunog na trip mo kung ano yung mas preferred. sa entry level para sakin mas panalo ang Sabian because of this

ZBT vs B8 = definitely B8
ZHT vs Xs20 = definitely Xs20

pero pagdating sa high-end cast models, kanya kanyang trip na yan. patas na patas sila sa quality and sound.

yung kit ko halo-halo, eh parang mesh-up. :lol:

14" Zildjian A New Beats
16" and 18" Sabian Xs20 Med-Thin Crashes and
18" Paiste Innovations CrashRide.

recently inlove na inlove ako sa Zildjian A New Beats at 21" Sweet Ride <-- hoping to have it someday.  :-)

Post by: Stylee on January 13, 2010, 08:57:02 AM
  When I chose a particular cymbal, like crash or ride or hi-hats, I tend to play with my eyes closed so that my ears can do the listening. Minsan kasi pag nakikita ko yung brand name ng cymbal it creates a subliminal advertisement and I often go for the brand and not with the sound anymore. To further concentrate on the quality of sound a particular cymbal produces, because sound is what it really sells naman and what I personally "look" for, pumipikit ako kadalasan and if ever possible I hit it along with a kick drum and with various velocities para malaman ko if that cymbal sounds better with a strong whack or just a simple "pitik." lalo na pag crash cymbal. It is very clear iba iba gusto natin so iba iba din approach natin sa paghahanap ng ayon sa taste natin. This is what I prefer. Kanya kanya naman yan e.

usually pag bumili ka ng b8 set..
meron syang (14" huts, 20" ride, 16" crash) solve na un..

for me kahit ano (sana nga lahat for variations)
IMO. mahirap magkaroon ng dahilan other than the sound that it produces. If there is only a way to buy cymbals by asking "meron kayong ganitong sound?" rather that "meron kayong ganitong (brand)?" ok sana (unless sure ka na sa type ng cymbal and the sound that it produces).
mahirap din yata kasi magustuhan and isang "sound" just because of the brand. Also, as mountain bikers say: wala sa pana yan, nasa indian.

Opinion lang po. just a newbie lang din  :-D

by the way. Z user here. It came free with the kit i bought:)

AFAIK b8pro's are far better than the zbt's. pero kung ako sayo sa 14k stretch mo pa budget mo ng konti bili kana ng high ends AA AAX o kaya zildjian A or K kahit pa isa isa mabubuo din. pero if in need kana talaga ng cymbals, try mo stagg or istanbul meron silang lines na abot kaya na cast b20 alloy at hand hammered pa. pili ka lang mabuti kasi magkakalayo tunog ng mga cymbals nila kahit parehas sila ng lines. stagg sa TMS meron, istanbul naman sa Lazer. pwede din dito sa classifieds dami mura hanap hanap ka lang baka makajackpot ka. hehe well bro just my two cents nasa iyo pa rin ang ang decision. happy drumming and Godbless!  8-)

nag start din ako sa zildjian pero dahil sa mga napapanood ko and yung sunod sunod nila na NAMM awards noon made me shift to sabians. Ang ganda ng models nila especially dun sa high end models nila like AA/AAx/HH/HHx at signatures. Siyempre as a drummer, gusto mo expand yung cymbals mo with your playing, ayun ang nahirapan ako dito satin...come to think of it, Sabian has the most models available, pero di lahat yan kaya ipasok sa pinas, siguro kasi given na baka di kayanin ng pinoy drummers ang presyo nila, ayun nabitin ako kakahanap ng gusto ko. That's why i returned to Zildjians, invested on their higher models. So far, no regrets, and I'm proud to say that i found the sound I've been looking for.  :-) Pero di ko sinasabi na zildjian na ako forever...syempre, with regards to sound preference, pwede yan parin yan magbago.

anong mga cymbals mo kuya?

Post by: Schizophrenia on December 09, 2011, 04:53:23 PM
Para sakin dipende sa model. Meron mga model na mas gusto ko sa zildjian compared sa counterpart sabian (e.g. K vs HH). BTW, di ba magkapatid may-ari ng Zildjian and Sabian? (pareho Zildjian family name nila :D) If I'm not mistaken, yung factory ng Sabian sa Canada ay dating factory ng Zildjian (para sa mga K series nila). I'm assuming na pareho sila ng process sa cymbal manufacturing... forging, heating temp/timing, alloys, except siguro sa hammering (w/c greatly affects the sound).

So...

Quality-wise: Same lang for me, same alloy and manufacturing process (I think).

Sound-wise: Mas marami akong gustong model ng zildjian compared sa sabian. Nagkaroon nako dati ng AA and HH series nila pero binenta ko ulit, bumalik ulit ako sa Zildjian (A Custom, Z Custom and K gamit ko ngayon, except for my Paiste Sig Dark Crisp Reflector hats). Most of the time I prefer the 'old-school' specially sa crash, yung di mashado bright or mashado dark na medium to long decay, yung sakto lang...

Overall: Zildjian parin ako

Sensya na kung malabo, mejo nakainom na  >:D

Post by: soulreaver on December 10, 2011, 08:37:31 AM
I had used both, yung entry level ng sabian tunog lata ganun din naman sa entry level ng Z.
Kaya dapat very specific models yung i compare, hindi lang buong brand kumbaga, kaya sang ayon ako sa pahayag ni Schizophrenia na depende yun sa models.

No two cymbals are alike just like no two drummers are the same.
It boils down sa preference natin, tunog na gusto nating palabasin
I say MUSIC over GEAR/BRAND.

When I was starting drum, 70% Sabian (Hear the Difference) 30% Zildjian.
But as I move along, IMO bnew Sabian pies here sa Pinas are overpriced and daming models na di pinapasok. While Z's dito almost complete lineup and lagi pa sale.hehe

100% Z user here. Fallen inlove w/ K custom Hybrid series.  :-D

 to my ears, the sabian AAX, HHX has lesser overtones than any of the zildjian lines. ( sabi ni master jeff, "tunog bakal" hehe!) that's what i hear. and that's why i like my sabians better.

Narinig ko lineup ng artisan series from SabianVault (Youtube), esp. yung mga crash nila... interesting ang tunog, dunno pero mejo glassy yung tunog para sa akin. Could be sa eq or mic'ing nla. Baka pwede iconfirm ng mga artisan owners natin dito  :wave:. Comparing it to my dream setup (K Custom Hybrid crashes and 19 china), hmmm I still prefer those hybrids hehe. Mukhang ok din yung twenty custom series ng Paiste, pero malamang sobrang mahal na naman neto sa atin  :-o

I tried both. I was a Zildjian user before. I was using A Customs and Z Customs. They are great cymbals! However, nung nakatry ako ng AAX and HHX lines of Sabian, dun ko narealize na mas pasok sila sa style of music ko. I just like the projection and cut of AAX and HHX. But given the chance, I would love to mix some Zildjian A Customs/Z Customs, and Meinl MB20's to my set-up :mrgreen:

Sabian user here. I have Xs20, AAX and AA. Will try HHX pag may pera na.

I think mas-innovative ang Sabian ngayon kesa Zildjian eversince naipasa sa anak na babae yung pagpapatakbo sa Zildjian. Nagfocus sa growth yung company(merging with Vic Firth, etc). Nawawala na yung passion sa paggawa ng cymbals at yung relations nila with the endorsers. Maraming mga respected Zildjian Endorsers ang lumipat sa Sabian (Tony Royster, Neil Peart, etc). Eto po ay opinion ko lamang.

bright at ok ang projection ng sound. it's good for gigs, not so much for small spaces though due to the volume.

I just saw a few demo videos of B8's and ZBT's on YouTube. The ZBT's sounded decent (way better than Plant Z's), but I think I'm going with the B8's.

Thanks for the input guys!
