[zarrdoss]

Sabian 22" Paragon ride. I got it for all the same reasons you mentioned.

21" Z custom Mega Bell ride.

I would say the Z3 version. but ive never been able to stop playing my good ole z custom.

Yeah, look for a "dry" ride... or something heavy like a Rock Ride. OR, get the new Super Moongel, it sticks to the top AND bottom of cymbals, should cut out a significant amount of ring.

Quick question are. Planning on crashing this ride?

Not really, no!

[Northern Redneck]

Not really, no!

Then see my earlier post about mounting a ride to cut overtones.

I have both Zil Bels. The 6" is more like a bell of a ride. The 9" is a BEAST. It's very heavy and very loud. It will literally sustain for days. It's a GREAT accent piece. If you're looking for a ride bell type cymbal I'd go for the 6".

I keep the 6" on my left and the 9" on my right. In this video I alternate between the two at the beginning of this song. I use them both pretty extensively in this song. If you listen with really good cans you can hear just how long that big bell rings.

This is the exact video that made up my mind................thanks Marko. I'd go with the 6" Zil-bel........you can find them used between 50 - 80 bucks
