    Terry Bozio, many a cymbal, to many to count in fact

    Just bought a brand new cymbal!!!
    24" Dream Ride

    "Dream" is an experemental chinese cymbal manufacturer, my drum teacher and I got into a conversation about cymbals, this manufacturer is top rated in china for jazz cymbals, my teacher got a set to review, I got to try them, and absolutely fell in love with the ride, WOW! IT SOUNDS GREAT!
    DRUM NAKED!

    I was thinking about checking out Dream, I've heard good things.

    anyway, i only use 3 right now and I'll be changing it up, but currently:
    A Zildjian new beats- 14"
    Paiste Sound Formula Dark Crash (I LOVE this cymbal and best of all it was a freebie! in perfect condition to boot!)- 18"
    A Zildjian crash of some sort... dunno anything else about it- 16"

    Not much for rides but I wouldn't mind one. Like I said elsewhere, I like a pretty basic kit and I'd rather have two crashes than a ride and a crash.
    i must be the only hip hop fan here

    I'm thinking about replacing my B8's with AA's or AAX's because they sound better. But they are way expensive. I don't get a lot of money because i'm to young to have a job. But I just clean up around my house and my mom pays me. Anybody know where to get cheap Sabian's?

    Hey Cam, try Ebay. I hope I'm allowed to say that. Also, anyplace like a musicgoround, pawn shops, ads in the local paper. But don't be a snob. I usually use 3-4 crashes, 2-3 splashes, a china, a ride, and hats. Sabians and Zildjians. They both make great stuff.
    One of my life mottos is "there's always room for more cymbals"
