Which ride can be "all-purpose"?

[tipsyboy]

Sa bagay, that's a valid point. The cymbal is one thing, pero siyempre, kasama din sa equation ang playing style. Thanks a lot!

[plep]

if you're a rock drummer then definitely you'll just be bashing this cymbal.

i should probably take offense to that, but nevermind. tsaka kung ganyan mo kamahal yung dark ride mo, bakit mo binenta?

tipsyboy:
yep how you play a ride is definitely a factor. the type of sticks you use are also a factor.

ang maganda eh subukan mo lang lahat ng ride na makasalubong mo. makakahanap ka rin ng sakto sa lahat ng pangangailangan mo.

[nu@nces]

i'm not saying anything against the dark ride. kung binenta ko man siya isa lang dahilan, may pinagiipunan akong matindi.  pero hindi naman porket binenta ko na e that means hindi ko na siya gusto, isang matinding sugal lang ginawa ko. kaya sana hindi ako ma-wrong move.

yep, isang factor ang sticks at grip mo sa sticks. kung pano angle ng ride cymbal sa stand and place kung san mo tinetest ang isang ride cymbal.

anyway, sa tingin ko naman iba iba tayo ng playing style.
very subjective tong topic na to. kaya the best way talaga is kung ano daw ang maganda sa pandinig mo at dinig ng audience.

hindi ako pingy. washy ako.

well, ayus naman istanbul e (nabasa ko sa classifieds na yun bibilhin mo). sayang lang walang turk na pinasok, puro sultan at radiant lang.

siguro dagdag na rin natin yung mga kasabay na cymbals ng ride na gagamitin mo. kahit gaano ka versatile ang ride mo kung lubog naman sa buong setup mo eh wala ring sense   swerte ko binigay ni nounces yung dark ride sakin, ayaw ko ng mamroblema sa pag mix and match ng models, kaya nung may chance na mabuo yung Custom Dark setup ko, i grabbed the opportunity na.  So far, yung mga nabasa ko about the Dark Ride eh totoo naman, actually, the best ride na nagamit ko for the past few years of playing at pag bebenta sa Roger's Pies.  take note, ang tagal kong nagbenta ng cymbals, yung sources ko, never nag bitaw ng dark rides or hats, siguro nga eh eto yung tipong pag nakagamit ka, mejo magdadalawang isip ka before mo pakawalan.

a big amen for the k custom dark ride 

[empire1]

thanks for the comments! it's been a lot of help. what do you guys think of a 22" a custom medium ride though?

i've actually used a 22" k custom ride and a 22" avedis vintage ride. they had great ride characteristics but they weren't crashable. i'm thinking of a 22" ride and not just a 20" ride because i want it to project better for louder stuff, generally straight up rock or maybe alternative.

hmm.. kung 21" A Custom Projection Ride kaya para diyan? okay rin siguro yun.

[bellyblaster]

hi.. guys im a power pop drummer ung mga tipong paramore ung bagsakan, im thinking of buying a k custom 20" medium ride  pero di kaya masapawan lang sya ng distortion ng guitars?? or maybe a 20" a custom medium ride pro bka masyado naman syang bright n masakit n s tenga.. anu p b marerecommend nyo po?? thanks..

klight rides all purpose din

klight rides all purpose din

YEAH! I used to drool about it... around 24K ang brand new 24" K Light Ride sa JB so hanggang DROOL lang ako. I used to fantasize about the wash it gives for The Killers until a sales guy sa Mega branch let me hit it.

Too smoky and dark for our music...sigh...and too expensive for me, too...so I am looking for something brighter.

Sino may A Sweet Ride? Pa-share naman.

Thanks!

[plep]

YEAH! I used to drool about it... 19K ang brand new 24" K Light Ride sa JB so hanggang DROOL lang ako. I used to fantasize about the wash it gives for The Killers until a sales guy sa Mega branch let me hit it.

Too smoky and dark for our music...sigh...

so i guess hindi nga all-purpose yung K Light? 

[mambo]

mga sir what about the sabian and stagg brands? TIA 

[backbeat17]

Sir versatility ba? Mag 20" K custom ride ka na lang. i traded my 22" k custom medium ride kay NICMAR. thanks nic. malambot kasi tunog ng k custom medium ride para sa akin pero crashable sya. but ended up using 20" k custom ride. mas pronounce stick definition, louder, great for blast beat and swing drumming. san ka pa

[imaginaryeric]

so i guess hindi nga all-purpose yung K Light? 

Hindi naman sa hindi. It's just me.

Baka sa pagsabi ni sir smutdrummer ng "all-purpose" he meant that maganda siya for pinging and (definitely) washing.

I was infatuated with the K Light Ride and I still am. So maybe I was too excited with its legendary wash that I forgot about the riding part.

Like I said, too smoky and dark for us. Plus, the dark overtones can get out of control for the untrained hand. And mine is an untrained hand. Puro bright pinapalo ko so I suppose I have to train myself on the dark side.



 

[domcontrata]

try mo ung A sweet ride ng Zildjian.nkkta ko kasi gagamit sa banat ng tadtad na rock na halos ginagawang crash tapos gngamit dn sa jazz at iba pang mejo soft sa ride at bell. nkta ko ito sa magazine ng zildjian.marami ksing players n sikat na paborito itong gamitin.

[pmack]

I can only suggest what i have tried.


A sweet ride.
Ok sa rock, super crashable. pero kung gagamitin sa jazz, pwede din. Alalay lang sa bigat ng sticking and kung saan "lalambingin" sa bow ng ride kasi medyo washy. Pero controllable naman.

22" K Cust Dark Ride.
nacacrash ko ito, pero kailangan talaga ng pwersa. ok sa rock and ok sa jazz/light music. basta same goes for every genre i think, alalay lang talaga. kahit ano pang ride yan (even crash), MOST OF THE TIME makukuha mo ang gusto mong tunog basta alam mo kung saan dapat tamaan at gaano kalakas/kahina ang sticking.

98 cents na lang pera ko.

I used to own one for a while. IMO, in a rock setting it would be better of as a Crash but not as a main ride. It has quite a nice bell and sounds excellent when you crash on it. I ended up selling it and got a 22" Ping Ride as my main ride since I couldn't fully utilize the Sweet Ride given that I already had 2 main crashes.

Thanks for the input. Actually, that's the most frequent observation with the Sweet Ride. People say it's better off as a crash. I am bothered now since I have two crashes already. O crap.

You're much welcome. What also popped in my head at that time since I really liked the Sweet Ride was getting rid of my existing crashes and get another crashable ride that I could partner it with. It's kind of like the setup of JP Gaster of Clutch, one of my favorite drummers. Here's a link to his current setup (although he uses Meinl)---> http://meinlcymbals.com/artists/artist/ARTIST/jean_paul_gaster.html?cHash=d1dd625122

hmm...ang hats ko either 14" k custom dark hats, 13" k/z hats, or 13" a custom projection hats. ang crashes ko 16" k custom dark crash at 18" a custom crash, although yung k custom dark crash gusto ko palitan ng 16" a custom projection crash. tapos may 19" k custom hybrid china. lubog kaya dyan yung k custom medium ride or k custom dark ride?

Ganda nito talaga... pareho tayo... hehehe... yung crashability, superb!!! tas maganda siyang light ride. superb din yun. pero hindi siya masyadong applicable as main ride mu pagka metal ang tugtugan mo.

Thanks for the input about John Paul Gaster. For a while I had thought of getting an all-ride setup like him. Minimalism really appeals to me. Though when I'm swinging my sticks I keep looking for other toys to hit.
