The Drum Thread
Dazed:
That's a lot of Paiste, I'm generally not a fan of them. Nice kit/set up though.
EDIT: what is that cymbal rack you're using?

I love Paiste, but I prefer matched cymbals- I rock the 2002s right now, and they have really good complementary tone. That being said, that's a very impressive set up.

it's a Pearl DR503-C. I'm only using the front, I don't use the side extensions. I like my stuff to be right out in front of me, never to the sides, so the side wings are not needed.
I love Paiste. to me their cymbals sound the best. unfortunately they don't make anything quite like the Zil Bel or the Z series Mega Bell ride (before they became the Z Custom line and began lathing them), so I'm stuck using a zildjian product for those. Never been a fan of all matching cymbals, i like having some serious contrast in sound. Paiste cymbals tend to compliment each other well though, regardless of series. If i had the $$$, I'd switch out all my crashes and chinas for all Twenty series stuff. Soooooo nice. Can't imagine ever getting rid of the Mega Bell though.
Dazed:
Interesting, I've been meaning to pick up a decent rack since I'm out of room for stands around my kit. How do you like that one?
turtlspinr:
love it. Pearl hardware is the only way to go. Great value for what you are getting.
As far as racks go, anything but the DR503C is kinda dumb. We're going to hang heavy objects off a round tube and be surprised when things slip? Yea, but the Pearl, get a square tube and NOTHING ever moves. Plus, it's stable enough that you can remove one, or both, of the side wings and there's no danger of it tipping or becoming wonky.
I can't say enough good things about Pearl hardware. the only other company I own anything by is gibraltar (and who doesn't have gibraltar pieces somewhere???) and Axis for my pedals. Soon as I get the cash together, the two gibraltar cymbal arms are getting replaced with CH100s. NO ONE makes hardware that can compete with Pearl's, especially when you look at the money you're putting down for it.
