Took some before band practice today to show off my new ride and china... enjoy!

The new ones- a Meinl Byzance Brilliant 20" Heavy Ride and Sabian 17" AA Holy China. Both great, great cymbals- a touch of aggression while keeping a versatile core. The ride was purchased from MyCymbal and, well, I will be buying from there again :)

You can see by the unused cymbal stand clamps that I often have more than that set up, haha.
 
Thanks :) That's my stack of a Zildjian 13" Oriental China and a 14" A Custom EFX. Bought them at PASIC and got the EFX signed by Mike Mangini and Steve Gadd in the same day! Great, great sounding stack to my ears.


Cool - I'd definitely hang onto those.




I was talking about the cymbal in the attachment below though - the one directly above the hi hats in the last pic. It sounds like you're talking about the ones to the right of it:

(also - I'll bet that heavy ride sounds great)

Oh, haha :) That's my Saluda Tesla 17". Pretty trashy & bright crash but it sounds great in practically any context, even with the 1" crack in it. I wasn't crazy about the other Saludas I got but I think that's more my line selection than their worksmanship.
 
And some more, now way-too-contrasty photos! This time, a faux-symmetrical setup after watching too many videos of Alex Rudinger. The Byzance is now gone, but in its place- the lovely HHX Omni, which I am incredibly happy with. (also- if anyone wants to hear about Remo's new White Suede heads- I can talk about those a little bit, as I bought a set of Emperors the other day...)

These are probably the last pictures I'll be taking with the Superstars, as my new kit is being built right now... I'll be sure to make a thread about that when it comes :)
