SoundCaster crashes sound very similar to A custom crashes. They are slightly brighter making them better IMO.

Right now, I'm using MB10 bell blast ride, 10 inch byzance splash, 17 and 18 inch soundcaster crashes, and I'm planning on getting the soundcaster soundwave high hats.

But yeah, MB20, MB10, Soundcaster, and Byzance are all top of the line stuff. Oh and the sound samples on the meinl site are pretty accurate.

Hi
Im also looking at changing to Meinl and im looking to buy some Byzance what the pros and cons between the Brilliant and Traditional cymbals and which do you think is better for more Indie/Alternative Rock?

*edit*
Should've read duba's post...

My mentor switched from A customs to Meinl, and has no regrets. Plus I think he said Meinl carries a two year warrantee over Zildjians' one. You might want to wait until after DRT, so you can at least give some Saludas their day in court.

Probably told ya yesterday but if I'm heading down to yours, if im going to DRT, I am taking my Meinl setup if ya wanna try em out a bit before we head off to Rochester.

Hopefully it might help make your mind up about the change to Meinl.

But, Bong is right. Saluda's rep is really good despite being a small company, so DRT will be a good chance to try them out too

Cheers
Duba

but if your happy with the internet I would suggest
http://www.drumshop.co.uk/
