A few days ago, I asked my wife and son, who is a great bass player, to listen to crash cymbal combinations. They both picked the same pair of crashes. A few weeks ago, I did a hi-hat cymbal...

Here are the drums I got to replace them. Peace and goodwill.

Today, I set it up as a four-piece kit. I also changed the two crash cymbals, Now they are a 16" AA Thin Crash and an 18" AAX Studio Crash. Peace and goodwill.

Well today I got out all of my crashes and had my wife and son (a great bass player) listen to different combinations. They both picked the same pair of crashes, so that is what I will go with.

For me it was the Beatles and Ringo. That is not very original, but that is how it is. Peace and goodwill.

That is so true! Peace and goodwill.

So I am using the hats in the post above with a 19" SR2 Heavy as a ride. My two crashes are an AAX 17" Studio Crash and an SR2 18" Thin. That is the combination that sounds best. I also have an AA...

It all still sounds very good. I am very happy about how it all works now. My hardware box is lighter, and I can position the toms where I want them. I also have a single tom arm that will fit into...

Well I added a tom mount to the bass drum, mostly to make the hardware box lighter. Peace and goodwill.

I did a hi-hat cymbal experiment yesterday. I have two sets of hats: SR2 14" (medium top / heavy bottom) and XS20 14" Hats. The SR2 14" Medium used to be an HHX because the hammer marks on it match...

Does anyone have a question or a comment? Peace and goodwill.

If you are planning to buy cymbals online by watching videos, your computer sound system matters quite a bit. If your sound system is not good, the cymbals will sound much different online than when...

Six people whom I have played music with have passed away. It is a very hard thing to go through. Peace and goodwill.

On the last three Monday mornings, I went to our church and practiced by myself. I had not done that in years. I even took my preferred drum books (Stick Control, Syncopation for the Modern Drummer,...

There are only so many ways to talk about drums, cymbals, heads, hardware, sticks, and bands. Peace and goodwill.

Nice! I have the same kit, but I have the 10/12/16/22 version, only one floor tom. What snare are you using with it? Enjoy. Peace and goodwill.

The post just above this one worked out very well. The AA 16" Thin Crash blends very well with the 16" and 17" Concept Crashes. That leaves me with these Sabians.


20" HHX Evolution Ride
19"...

The AAX 17" Studio Crash did not blend very well with the 16" and 17" AAX Concept Crashes at Church. Since I need three crashes at church, and the 17" Concept Crash is very low pitched, I took my AA...

I would take my SABIAN SR2 18 inch Thin because it is good crash and a decent ride. Peace and goodwill.

I bought a 16" AAX Concept Crash and a 17" AAX Concept Crash, and they both sound great. I play them at church because they sound great in that room. Peace and goodwill.

My story continues. The AAX 17" Concept Crash at church is lower pitched than either the AAX 18" Studio Crash or the SR2 18" Thin. So I brought the 18" Studio Crash home. The strange thing is that...

That is one nice set of drums. I bought a 10/12/16/22 with the same finish back in January. Peace and goodwill.

Those are the heads I use on almost all of the toms I have owned in the last ten years. Peace and goodwill.
