    Default I need a new ride

    Hey guys. I'm in the market for a new ride cymbal, an upgrade from my Sabian B8. I play hard rock and metal. I'm looking for something with a lot of stick definition, not a lot of wash, and something very pingy. I don't have a very big budget, and I'm looking to get something used off of Craigslist. I came pretty close to getting an A Custom Ping Ride but the deal fell through. Any recommendations (BESIDES GOING TO GC AND LOOKING AROUND :D)?
    Thanks :D

    I was thinking that but the bell is just too small. Thanks though.

    The Sabian AA Rock Ride fits that description. It has great ping and stick definition, without the wash. The bell is also pretty decent sized, and is loud and cutting. I have a 21" one and love it, definitaly think you should check it out.

    Actually, I just got an offer to trade my 18" AAX Metal Crash for a 20" XS20 Ride. What do you think?

    I'm playing an XS20 and like it, especially for the cost.

    Is the bell really hard to play?

    I was gonna suggest the A-Custom line . Best thing to do is go to your local store and listen to several different ones to see which sounds the best and then look on CL for it . Good luck with the search .

    If you want to stay Sabian here are some models to consider:

    HH Rock Ride (my future ride )
    AA Metal-X Ride
    Any of the Raw Bell Dry Rides
    AAX Metal Ride (would not recommend it though - just my opinion)
    HHX Power Ride
    AA Rock Ride (would not recommend this either - it actually sounded pretty washy when I tried it at the store)
