I ended up buying two crashes from My Cymbal.com. I ordered a 17 inch and an 18 inch AAX Studio Crashes, which are thin and open easily. Thanks for the responses. Peace and goodwill.

I am planning to buy a Sabian 18 inch or 19 inch thin crash next week. I am considering the AA Raw Bell Crash, the AA Thin Crash, the AAX Thin Crash, and the AAX X-plosion Fast Crash. If you have...

I was way wrong in the original post. I still have the 15" SR2 Thin crash and the 14" SR2 Hats, but everything else has changed. I made a big cymbal trade, bought three Sabian Concept Crashes, and...

Here is a video of last Sunday's outside church service. Those...

Today I made a Trade

I went to my old church, with the OK from the pastor, and made a big cymbal swap. One of my goals was to get the Sabian AA 16" and SR2 18" thin crashes to use at our current...

I used to have a PDP LX snare that I used for many years. Enjoy those nice drums. Peace and goodwill.

Man, you did a great job of cleaning up that awesome snare. Enjoy. Peace and goodwill.

My two favorite brands of cymbals are Sabian and Paiste. For many years I have been playing only Sabian. Rides are personal, and I prefer crashes that open easily, make a good sound without having...

I bought a new crash for $99, so here are my crashes now: Sabian AA 16" Concept Crash(the new one) and Sabian AA 17" Medium-Thin Crash. My HHX Evolution Ride is very crashable too. Peace and...

Through various trades, purchases, and changing churches, here is what I now have (all Sabian):

20" HHX Evolution Ride
17" AA Medium-Thin Crash
16" AA Concept Crash
14" SR2 Hats (medium top,...

Some XS20 crashes sound great, others not so much. If it is one of the good ones, it should go very well with the AAX crashes. Peace and goodwill.

I replaced the SR2 15" Thin Crash with a Sabian AA 16" Concept Crash, and I took the SR2 15" to church. All is well in my world now. Peace and goodwill.

It looks quite good. Peace and goodwill.

Since we have been having drive-in church services, I have been playing my set, rather than the church's set. I saw a video of today's service, and the cymbals sounded great. The 17" is low pitched...

All the AAX cymbals are now on the church drum set. I now have the following and will probably stick with them.

HHX 20" Evolution Ride (very crashable)
AA 17" Medium-Thin Crash (very low pitched...

Do any of you prefer small crashes? I now have 15" and 17" crashes, and that is what I will be playing for the rest of my life. I know that for several years many drummers play two big cymbals. ...

I really like using one cymbal as a crash and a ride, one cymbal as a crash, and hats. One of the fun things about drumming is that one can do whatever one wants. If you want two different ride...

Praise the Lord! We recently changed to a much smaller church. I have to play very quietly, and the only other instrument we have is keyboards, played by my son. Peace and goodwill.

After much praying, we changed to a new smaller church. The drums are Pearl Export 22/12/16/ Modern Utility Snare. The cymbals are Sabian HHX 20" Evolution Ride, 18" SR2 Thin Crash, 16" AA Thin...

After changing churches and some trading, here is what I have now.

AAX 20" Dry Ride
AAX 19" X-plosion Crash
AAX 17" X-plosion Crash
SR2 14" Hats (medium top, heavy bottom)

Peace and goodwill.

The most I ever had was three. Now I have two, both Mapex.
MPX Birch 13x6
Saturn V 14x5.5

Peace and goodwill.

I took these cymbals to church Wednesday night, and the worship leader and my son the bass player said they sounded good.

Sabian ride and crashes, Paiste hats
20" AAX Dry Ride
18" SR2 Thin Crash...

Mapex Saturn V 14x5.5 snare
Mapex MPX 13x6 Birch Snare


Peace and goodwill.

We started new praise and worship band to play outside of church. We are playing Saturday at a fund raiser in downtown Alexandria, Louisiana. I am psyched about this. Peace and goodwill.

I compared my two Sabian rides, an HHX 20" Evolution Ride and an AAX 20" Dry ride. Our church band is playing at a benefit Saturday, so I want to use the best ride for that. The Evolution Ride won....
