Welches Crash Teil II (Thema geteilt)

Hi Nique! How much money can you afford? Is it Jazz music you´re playing, Acoustic Pop or what?
The word "light" might give you a hint. "Fast" Crashes are often thin as well. "Thin crash" etc.
Every Brand has these thinner Cymbals. But be careful! Some are not really "thin" and some are also "loud". I like the regular finish better for low music than brillant finish.
You need a crash? A Ride? Playing Brushes or rods? Sizzles?

Hi, Nique,

I Would try it with AAX-Dark Crashes or AAX-Bright Crashes. The AAX-Series-Cymbals are generally able to produce a good Sound at all dynamic Ranges.

Perhaps you should also try the cheaper Modells of the Series made of B8-Bronze, such as B8, B8 Pro or Pro. These Cymbals are generally not as loud as their more expensive pendants, but of course, they don't sound as good, and have less dynamic range.

Generally you should prefer small and thin cymbals for your kind of music.

I hope, that brought you further, and my english isn't to bad.

And finally, you should have openend a new thread for your question.

[Edit: Now, You've got your own Thread.]

(1) If You can afford it:

Paiste Traditionals
Zildjian K Constantinople
Sabian HH EQ Hats and Mini Cup or Duo Rides, some lighter HHX Modells

(2) Cheaper cymbals don't sound that well, although some work quiet well at lower volumes. Thinner Modells of the following Series:

Sabian B8 pro
Paiste 802 or Alpha
Stagg natural finish
or similar ones

(3) Old Thin Vintage Cymbals

Paiste 602
Zildjians
Istanbuls

hallo, nique,

probier' mal paiste line fast crashes... oder auch die mellow crashes aus der gleichen serie...

... wären eventuell eine alternative zu den traditional collection thin crashes

Hi Nique!
If you can't afford expensive Cymbals try Stagg (like Groovemaster already said):
In my opinnion the Brilliant Series (and "subseries" like SH and Dragon) are good for your music, especially the "medium" Cymbals. They Sound dark and full. They are well for lower volume settings. Don't try the "rock" cymbals, they sound very loud and "trashy" and higher than the medium. The prices are very cheap! Try it! (for example 54€ for a 16" medium crash brilliant series)
The rides and Hihat and especially the Splashes are also very well. The medium ride has a dark, full sound and the bell is very integrated. The rock ride ist mor bright and pingy. The bell is more separated. The Hihats I must test for my own before I can say somthing about them. I hadn't tested them yet.
I hope I could help you and my English was not too bad!

Hey Nique, suchst du einen ganzen Beckensatz (Crash/Ride/Hi-Hat...) oder nur ein einzelnes Becken? Wie teuer darf deine Anschaffung maximal sein?

Das verstehe ich nicht. Das Full Crash ist doch nicht lauter als die Heavy Hi-Hat!? egal...

Also du suchst offenbar ein Crash, wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe. Du könntest dir beispielsweise ein weiteres Zildjian Paper Thin Crash besorgen (in 16"), dann hast du 2 Crashes, die gut zueinander passen. Dies wäre die einfachste und wahrscheinlich auch eine recht sinnvolle Methode, ein passendes Crash zu deinem bereits bestehenden Cymbal-Setup zu finden.

hey nique!

i would suggest to try some zildjian k thin's!
i myself own 14" and 16" k thin crashes and i think they might fit to your style!

i love the way these cymbals blend with the music. they don't cut through like z customs but they have enough power to rock with, if you hit them harder. if you hit them soft, these cymbals more "cushion" the sound with a dark wash.

another option would be a 16" paper thin crash like hochi mentioned or some paiste traditionals(they are expensive but gorgeous when played in a low-volume band!)
