I'm looking at getting new cymbals a whole new set,
That is a hi-hat, ride, possibly 2 crashes,
I was just checking out alex rodriguez's set up and I noticed he uses 20" dry rides for crashes and rides. anyones oppinion. I was also just checking out the K custom mastersounds, they seem much more bright and higher pitched then the A customs which suprised me. I want a heavy chunky sound with quick delay. I play metal and punk and stuff. I've been using A custom crashes but my second one just cracked so im kinda frustrated. Also I was wondering are the K customs like the best "set" of cymbals that they make because they are the most expensive. I also don't have a job so money is an issue, but im patient and would be willing to wait haha.

You spelled ''opinion'' wrong, that's my opinion.

i got the 20" K custom dry ride and its easily my favourite cymbal. I got the K mastersounds hi hats as well but i wouldn't recommend them for metal. I'd go for A mastersounds. Heaps of blokes on this forum swear by them

well i noticed that the drummer in saosin uses it as a crash ride too, and my 18" crash just cracked so im upset haha, Im scared to use it because i dont wanna destroy it. So im looking at getting a new crash/ride soon. Ive noticed when other people play they ride their ride as a crash and i cant do that with mine because its really thick and sounds shitty. haha

This ride is a Pro cymbal.
It sounds exactly the way I want it to sound and feels the way I want it to feel.
It's great for crashing and accents...but doesn't swell or build-up.
I always thought "crash-rides" were more sustaining.
Understand that this stuff is all subjective.

I used it on the Genesis tribute stuff with only a Shure Unisphere as an overhead all recorded live.

well im contimplating what to get as my next cymbal, its either gonna be a crash ride or a ride, my 17" fast crash just cracked so i want something to replace it with quick sustain, and I love saosins drummer and he rides it as a crash so I kinda like how it sounds in that. He actually has the 18" and the 20" and uses em both as crashes primarily its wierd.

I happen to be selling some Zildjians right now on Ebay, including a practically new K Custom Dry Ride. I paid $250 for it about six months ago and it is in perfect condition. Right now the bid is at 99 cents lol.

Yes, it is a great cymbal. Dark and pingy with almost no wash at all. I prefer the brightness of the Ping Ride for the music I play though so I'm selling it. It's worth too much to gather dust!

my z custom ride is about to crack, when that happens it will be summarily replaced by this beautiful ride... i played it at the music store by me, its just beautiful!

The K Custom Dry Ride is a fantastic cymbal and very unique. The best price you can get it for used is probably about $200. I'm selling mine right now and there are pictures you can see:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=290221522155

i have the k custom dry ride, love it , great sound

change the A's into K's cause they're way better "sound and projection even for punk"and it doesn't broke as easy as A's do

take care

not got a clue how you could play that as a crash/ride

iv got a power ride version and it barely even wobbles when im playing a beat on the ride

if your cracking a's then your really gonna crack some k customs. k customs arent really the best for playing metal a's however are great.. put plastic sleeves on your cymbal stands, it'll be a harder to crack cymbals never have metal touching metal, also every cymbal zildjian sells comes with a 1 year warranty. call zildjian get an "ra" number and mail it back and you'll get a brand new one for free.... thats right free only if its beenn a year though
