I want to change the hardware (I use Paiste)

  • pavel_drumsss

    Damn, if I left Pasta, then only to Zila

  • kreker

    Here I am about the same thing, it is good to play the zils.

  • shalom

    the first thing about "zilah" is the sound, and the second, of course, is the price)))

    You shouldn't be talking about Zildjian! I, too, used to think so, as did you. Everything is changing, stereotypes are crumbling. I advise then Sabian HH or HHX. I won't offer Meinl, because his sound is kind of flat. But before I really liked him, like Paiste

  • swerus

    I think paiste has a drier sound and a lot of sand, Zil. there are also "dry" cymbals, but basically their sound is juicy, rich in overtones from high to low frequencies. Sabian is the same.

    I have a minel, very satisfied, but very soft and poured a lot. Very much. If a heavy crash has a ringing, then the medium is already crunching)

  • drummies

    Something, but Zildjian, especially Avedis, has a unique sound. For this, most drummers love this company, because of this, precisely, they are not cheap.

    Paiste and I plan to switch to Sabian. They cost like an airplane, but they sound great. Well, that's my subjective opinion.

    Weird question. each manufacturer has a fairly wide range of products. And everyone has their own taste. And it's worth remembering about the weight of the vessel (in the Sabians, it fluctuates quite strongly within the same model). I would recommend zilas of the last century, very good plates, and you will crack a dick. And so ... either "K" zildzhan, or hh-hhx from sabian.

  • kirill_an

    for a long time I was rushing to what to switch from paiste. Here the question is really both in the manufacturer and in the series. This is very important!

    It depends on what you play and what you want from them.

    As for the cheap series, I can't say anything except paiste.

    I played 8 years on them. pst3, pst 5, pst 8 and alpha series.

    Good cymbals for their category, but still I wanted more individual sound.

    And this is given only by the series above.

    I tried sabian aa, AAx , hh, hhx.

    Very smart plates, capable of many things in many genres. According to the sound, they are easily combined ( there are a lot of videos on YouTube) in terms of crashes, I recommend watching the aa raw series and, I think many will agree, x-plosion ( both aax and hhx )

    Well, the evolution hat is above all praise)

    But I also tried zildjian.

    The K series is still for fans of light sound, even jazz, to be exact. The plates are excellent, light, pliable.



    For myself, despite all the advantages of sabian, I chose zildjian A custom. Just a bomb. But that's what I was looking for))) they are top for me)

    It was correctly written here that this is a matter of taste, but once I decided to change it, don't save, look for what you like and take it) otherwise, why change it? An awl for soap) and eat a fish and ... Everything else in the plates is very rare)

    The question is posed very incorrectly. It is not clear what style of music, what size the set is needed, what the budget. Judging by your photos you played 101 pasties, so any bronze will be a priori better than your cymbals. And the prices for top cymbals are high for any company, even Zildzhan, even Sabian, even the same Paisti. You explain what you need, so at least it will be possible to advise something
