Sabian AAX Chinese 18" - "Ridiculously Cutting Sound!"
The Good: - Brilliant finish allows it to cut through every kind of cymbal and drum I've ever heard. - Can be crashed for a LOUD sound, or tapped lightly for a nice washy jazz china/ride. - Very pie…
CB Drums Maxx SP Series Kit - moosers's review
The CB Drums Maxx SP Series Kit is a beginner's drum set. The drummer that I grew up playing with and still play with had this drum set as his very first and I would mess around with it all the time…
Zildjian K Custom Dry Complex Ride II 24" - mooseherman's review
This is a 24" ride cymbal, possibly the largest in the K Custom Series by Zildjian. This is a very interesting, albeit impractical, ride. It's tremendously deep. It has a misleading name, as I don't …
Sabian HHX Evolution Performance Set - sanjuro's review
The Sabian HHX performance pack is an interesting idea. Some of the highest end cymbals in the Sabian HHX line packaged up and sold together? I know very few drummers who could afford this. I know…
Bosphorus Antique Thin Crash 15" - sanjuro's review
The banded lathing on this cymbal reminded me of my Istanbuls, so I wanted to try it. I also am a fan of other Bosporus cymbals and try all of them when I can. I was not terribly impressed by this,…
Paiste 2002 China 18'' - sanjuro's review
As much as I love the Paiste 2002 line, I am not a big fan of their China cymbals. These have the other admirable 2002 qualities such as durability or uniqueness. However, as chinas they don't sound…
Paiste 2002 Crash 20" - sanjuro's review
Like the other cymbals in the 2002 line, this is good for rock music. The 20" crash has truly amazing power. The 2002's already pack a punch, so supplying 20 inches is almost out of control. This …
Pearl export - sanjuro's review
The Pearl Export series is an extremely popular drumset. It is so common that I think I have seen more of these than any other set when gigging. This is surprising, because I find the export series…
Zildjian K Dark Crash Thin 15'' - sanjuro's review
The 15'' K dark thin crash is an exceptional cymbal in certain situations, but not in most. K's are often played in Jazz, and we had one of these in my high school jazz band. It served well, but to…
Zildjian A Sweet Ride 21" - sanjuro's review
The Zildjian sweet ride is another good (not great) cymbal from the Zildjian A line. I was eager to play this cymbal for a long time because I had always heard it was versatile and smooth. I had pl…
Zildjian ZBT Crash 16'' - FateFelledVictim's review
I had one of the 16” Zildjian ZBT cymbals when I first started playing drums and at the time it was good. The sound of these are actually half way decent. The cymbal holds a full tone for a nice amou…

Gretsch Blackhawk Standard 22" - " good overall"

Pearl Signature Chad Smith - " Bof bof ..."
