Just something for laughs

Bottom row: Rides and Hi-hats - Use 50 to 60 times a song
Second row:Crashes - Use 20 to 30 times a song
Third row:Effect cymbals - Use 5 to 10 times a song
Top row:Cymbal Cleaner - Use sparingly
(Sorry I didn't add this but I was going to put drumsticks to the side saying play every day)

Naise.

Love the cymbal cleaner at the top.
 
Only thing I disagree with is the china. A -lot- of metal drummers will ride and blast on that.

Of course, that IS metal, not rock, so...
 
mmm, gotta love that cymbal cleaner sound. its good you use it sparingly, it can really overpower a track.

nice cymbals by the way, i'm sure it's a blast to play them. especially two ride set ups.
 
i'd love to see steamers pyramid.

Oh man I don't use two rides, that ZBT is just one I had
 
very nice. Are those figures accurate? That s good to know how often certain cymbals are used. Its amazing nowadays all the odd cymbals that are out there. I was at my local GC and looked at one of those rivet cymbals. I felt like I should get one, but wasnt sure why. It sounded cool, but I wasnt sure when or where, musically, I'd hit it.
