so a buddy of mine called me up today and asked me if i could fillin as the drummer for his band for a show. i said what the heck and was prepared to load my stuff when they said we have everything you need just show up. well the set up was a double bass five tom rockstar set with paiste 2002 crashes and closed hats, and a signature reflector ride and main hats, it has to be the best cymbal set up i have everplayed, the ride was dark and crisp and had just the right wash when i struck it like a crash, and just the right definiton for rideing, the crashes all crashed wonderfuly with a darkish tone and a nice spread of sound for only 3 sizes (16,17,18) the 2002 hats were as jazzy as i would want, just crisp and defined enugh to sound sweet but just washy enugh to sound live, and as for the reflector hats on dude i could talk for hours about how nice they are but i wont, 32nd allready gave a great review of these and all i can say is even as nice as he described them still dosent do them justice. so i think im gonna become a paiste guy

Nice, dude. Hope the show was fun!
Which type of ride was it? The 22" Power Ride or 20" Dry Ride?

Man I really want to get some Paistes but I don't think there's a Paiste distributor in here!

i havent realy had a chance to look at a lot of paistes beond the ones in the review yet so i have to ask what do they mean by "wild"?

The wild series are pretty trashy sounding.
If you closed your eyes while hitting one... you would expect that the cymbals you heard would not be bright and pretty looking.
I have not heard the entire "wild" line... but the ones I have heard are all pretty trashy sounding. In a good way, of course.

Matt

cool thanks matt
