couple new toys today. 8” AAX, 10” AAX splashes and a 21 HH RBDR
I’ve played splashes like that before and liked it a lot! Personally, I like to use a lot of quick splash work off the hats so they’re most comfortable in that spot for me.You will love the HH RBDR, I hesitated a lot between the 4 (AAX, HHX, AA, HH) but found a super deal on the AAX and because I had a lot of dark cymbals and a Zildjian 23" 25" anniversary A Custom, I told myself that the AAX will go well with the A Custom (I have both of them installed on the kit...) And it will give me a contests with the darker cymbals...But the HH is super good too.
Funny position for the splashes, I love splashes, I have 8 of them but put them all on top of the main cymbals instead of under them...
Trans Stamps at that weight ...Hello you little darling. Come live with me for a while. 18" A. Zildjian Trans Stamp. Thin at 1355 grams. Well loved, but no structural issues, other than some creative additions to the rivet holes and that keyhole that will go nowhere now that we have plastic sleeves. I'm guessing either one rivet, or no rivets, at least while she lives with me.
You were right. Love everything about the RBDR, even the feel off the stick is just so smooth and right. Wow.You will love the HH RBDR, I hesitated a lot between the 4 (AAX, HHX, AA, HH) but found a super deal on the AAX and because I had a lot of dark cymbals and a Zildjian 23" 25" anniversary A Custom, I told myself that the AAX will go well with the A Custom (I have both of them installed on the kit...)

@TPC: One of the most musical cymbals I’ve ever heard. I’m astounded at how good it sounds and it's so nice to play! I'm floored .Trans Stamps at that weight ...
Best. Crashes. Ever.
I don't need any more but if I find a good deal on any of the other RBDR, I will buy them for sure... The HHX is still quite complex and I have a groove ride so, that might be the HH I would buy...You were right. Love everything about the RBDR, even the feel off the stick is just so smooth and right.

I,like most, miss my cymbalholics.com fix. so here is a small attempt to connect to some of the stuff we had over there. so tell me what you got most recently cymbal wise....
I slipped up on a nice jewel recently. I bought a 60's avedis 24". seller mentioned that it was around 3400 grams. a little heavier than my dream cymbal but still thought I would give a try. I had just bought a new digital scale and had it ready for the arrival of the 24. when it arrived, I could tell right away it was thinner than that because ive had one 2800 and 3200. I was pleasantly pleased when it weighed in at 2976 grams. its a jewel. has a ton of different sounds as a ride cymbal. it crashes well and the bell is full and musical. I so wish that it had rivets though. I have really come to enjoy them on cymbals over they years...
has some beautiful dark green patina right at the bottom. I picture some old jazz cat clasping it there while laying down some nice patterns...
so....what did ya get lately???

Is that right on the price? I have one, but use my 2002. I've never even hit the 20 inch Sig.
Nah, I was just kidding. They are usually less than $100. I’ll pay up and take yours off your hands for $100 even.Is that right on the price? I have one, but use my 2002. I've never even hit the 20 inch Sig.
