(also note how the cymbals are so close together and layered ontop of each other. and volume can be a major concern in tight quarters where other musician's ears are within INCHES of my crash cymbals! The more I can do to compact my drum setup, and control the volume, the better, for everyone involved. Therefore I choose smaller crash cymbals not only because they take up less space, but they also aren't as loud. Often times, Pal Joey included, the orchestra pit is SMALL and I have limited amount of space available. both for sonic reasons and for SPACE reasons. I often get asked questions such as, 'Why do you use such small crash cymbals?' Simple. There is a specific reason for EVERYTHING that I have chosen to play in the pit. LP Mount All Brackets are INDISPENSABLE in the pit! They allow me to get many different types of percussion mounted all around my kit, in the smallest and most convenient places. Take note of the creative use of multi-clamps throughout the setup. But, when I'll be out of the show a lot, I put the coated Ambassadors back on, simply because they are more durable, and are easier for all of my different drum subs to come in and get a consistent tone, which is important for the sound department.

They are very reminiscent of skin heads of the era, yet with modern day projection, durability and consistency.

Also, at times when I know that I will be in playing the show a lot, I will use Remo Suede Ambassadors on the tom batters, simply because I love the mellow tone that they produce. For instance, when it's really humid in the theatre and the sound isn't moving through the air very well, I will sometimes use a Yamaha Aluminum or Steel snare for a bit of extra projection. I will sometimes make slight adjustments based on a variety of issues.

They are not particlarly complex cymbals though. They are very glassy, reaching their peak volume quickly (as the name suggests) before a quick decay.

Good luck in your hunt!I use nothing but AAXplosion crashes and I love them. Get to a store and try some of the AAXplosions in the sizes you are thinking about. And this was over many days against many different cymbals. And I asked many customers in shops that were walking by, from seasoned drummers to their girlfriends who were not drummers, and not a single person said differently.

It might be too large for you, but I've tried out too many crash cymbals to count (Zildjian, Paiste and Sabian) and by far the 20 in AAXplosion cymbal sounded the best. The 18 in HHX stage crash has its own character and is a nice cymbal. I put a HHXplosion up against the AAXplosion of the same size and couldn't really tell a difference (and neither could anyone else).

If the 20in is too large, the AAXplosion series is really good. PIt might be too large for you, but I've tried out too many crash cymbals to count (Zildjian, Paiste and Sabian) and by far the 20 in AAXplosion cymbal sounded the best.

What's everyone's default, go-to Sabian crash?įeels like I need something around 17-19' ?Ĭurrently have the 16' AAX studio and 14' HH Regular hi-hats, so something to blend with those would be great. Slowly getting there, need another couple of crashes I think and a new ride.
