-12" AAX Metal splash over 12" (Formerly 13") AA Fusion hat bottom

Bells stacked on hats: 7" Alu Bell, 7" Stage Bell

Here is the latest snapshot (not literally!) of my ever-changing cymbal collection:

Zildjian
14" A New Beat HiHats
10" A Splash
13" A 1940's Vintage Crash
16" A Custom Crash
18" A Custom Fast Crash
18" A Crash/Ride
20" A Ping Ride
20" K Custom Dry Ride
Depending on the gig, I use a different combination of cymbals. I played my last gig with just the 18" A Crash/Ride along with hats and splash.

Paiste
14" 2002 Sound Edge HiHats
10" 2002 Splash
17" 2002 Thin Crash
18" Giant Beat Multi
I will be adding a 20" 2002 Ride to my Paiste collection soon
 
Mine has changed yet again.

Sabian
21" AA Raw Bell Dry Ride
18" AAX Studio Crash
17" AA Thin Crash
14" XS20 Medium Hats


Peace and goodwill.
 
My setup consists of;

All Zildjian

14" A Custom Mastersound hihats
10" A Splash (traditional finish)
17/18/19" A Custom Crashes- I generally use 2 only at a time, depending on the gig
20" K Custom Ride
18" Oriental China Trash
14" A Quickbeat hihats (on tama x hat)

Update- the K ride is now replaced by a 22" Z3 medium heavy ride and the second hihats have gone to my daughter's kit and in their place I have a 20" A Custom EFX, which is a marvelous cymbal.
 
Sabian 14" AA Rock hats
Sabian 16" AA fast crash
Sabian 17" AA Medium Crash
Sabian 18" Evolution HHX Crash
Sabian 21" AA Raw bell dry ride
Sabian 18" AA Fast China

Semi retired - Sabian 24" AA Rock Ride - I should probably sell it.
6" Bell Cymbal - unknown make. Makes exactly the sound from the intro to oowatanite by April Wine. Lol. No one around here ever plays that song.

I also have my eye on a 20" Sabian HH Flat bell Ride, some Manhattan hats, and another Evolution 16" crash. I love my 18" evolution crash. I might slowly switch everything over to that line.
 
Old print Sabian AAX Stage Hats 14inch
Zildjian ZBT Hats 14inch mounted on my right side
Dream Bliss Splash 12inch
Dream Energy 16inch Thin Crash
Dream Energy 18inch Crash
Dream Energy 20inch Ride
 
Picked up this 17" 2000 Sound Reflections Crash yesterday. Beautiful condition for a 24 year old cymbal, and sounds awesome... bright and glassy.

I really love cymbals. I had many during my career and all of them were Zildjian except my first hi hats (paiste).
Now i have. 14" K/Z special hi hats (Z Custom on the top)
16" A custom crash.
16" Avedis thin crash (my favourite)
17" A rock crash briliant.
17" K custom dark china.
18" Wuhan china.
10" A custom splash.
22" K heavy ride.
 
I changed the cymbals I had been using recently.
Started playing Paiste 2002's. I REALLY like them a lot!

My set up in most of my bands now (all 2002's) is:

15" Sound Edge hats
20" Crash
22" Crash
24" Crash or 24" Alex Van Halen Big Ride.

I'll also switch things out with a 24" Giant Beat, and/or a 22" Giant Beat (special size).

These are the Paiste's I have (no separate pics of the Zildjian and Sabian's I have).
