Currently playing the musical "Fun Home" in Toronto and using the following:

Sabian 13" HHX Groove Hats

Also ended up finding a Soultone Natural FX6 China for cheap, and sometimes I swap that one in for fun.

[mcjaco]

Did a recent trade of my 20" Paiste Sig Dry Ride for a 21" Zild A Sweet Ride and a 14" Zildjian A Fast Crash. So the new line up:

21" Zildjian A Sweet Ride
13" Zildjian K/Z Hats
16" Paiste Signature Thin Crash
14" Zildjian A Fast Crash
18" Zildjian A EFX Crash
10" Zildjian A Splash

 

[mtarrani]

My new configuration: right side ride, Soultone 23" Latin crash/ride. Left side ride: Soultone 19" flat ride. 14" Soultone Latin hi-hats. I am not sure I will be playing out with an extra cymbal, but for my rehearsal space, this is what I plan to use. For gigs I am probably going to stick to 14" Dream Bliss hats and a 24" Dream Bliss small bell ride (or, perhaps, a Soultone 19" Custom flat ride.)

(broken attachment removed)​

​

My Soultone Latin series cymbal set: Left to right: 14" hats, 19" flat ride, 23" crash/ride, 26" crash ride and 19" crash/ride. (I would never use all of these cymbals together in any situation, but wanted to display the set.)
