do you think an a custom porjection ride would be to bright to mix with a k custom hybrid hi hat? if so what do you think would mix well? i know its a bit sutpid asking but i dont get much chance trying these things out sorry for the in convinience

It all boils down to the style you are playing and what sounds good to you. I play an A custom Sweetride with Z customs on occasion and they blend fine. I would suggest going to the local music shop and giving them a listen. Peace on ya!

yer i think ill go down to the local and give em a try together see if they sound alright but i feel kinda tight always going down there and trying stuff out and not making alot of purchases seems like im kinda taking advantage of there genoristy

Don't feel tight, just make sure that you ask questions. I'm suggesting that the A Custom will be much brighter than K Hats, but it's all in what your ear hears. K's are darker, smokier cymbals, while A Customs are bright, airy, and shimmery.

While you're at the store, see if there's some K Rides for you to try, or at least an Avedis (A series) there.

I also used a ZBT rock hihat and A Zildjian Ping Ride, which both has a totally different characteristic of sound (bright and dark) and they both mix well! You should try them and if needed, bring your hihat too so you can see how are they if they're played together in a set! Good Luck!
