  1. It would? Why' date=' praytell?

    I get *really* pissed off when people suggest that acoustic people or bands should be on first or earlier, as 'later' should be reserved for 'rawk' acts.[/quote']

    Nothing wrong with accoustic acts playing later on.

    However, if the bill includes both accoustic acts, and louder acts - i can understand why people might prefer the accousticy stuff to be on earlier.

  2. Thats my point - If someone is angry & evil enough to stab someone' date=' then the posession of a knife is irrelevant, they would just find another weapon, be it a cosh or a glass or whatever. If someone is nuts enough to kill/hurt someone, they will find a way unfortunately[/quote']

    fair point.

  3. sue denim - you don't need tov carry a knife with you when you aren't working though.

    Of course if a techie eorson is on duty/ working then they nedd a knife..the sad thing is that in today's society there are alot of people who could be capable of pulling out their tool and killing someone if a fit of rage.

  4. It's a possibility that you're hitting them wrong.

    Especially if it's taken 4 months to crack one of them. If you keep good care and hit your cymbals properly' date=' there should be no worries most of the time.

    You could however just have a dodgy cymbal.[/quote']

    It's unlikely that he's hitting them wrong.

    The thing is that every cymbal has a weak spot running from the rim, in astraight line to the centre-hole. If you hit that weak spot directly with another bit of metal, or just a bumpo while moving it you can weaken it further until...'crack'.

  5. Hitting a cymbal in R&B is going to give you a much better idea of what you're after than a dozen of us telling you what our favourite cymbals are. You know exactly what sound you're after.....none of us do.

    For what it's worth' date=' Zildjian, Paiste, Sabian, Istanbul, Meinl all make excellent cymbals....so quality-wise you can't go wrong.

    I'd advise you to take your current cymbals along to R&B so you can see what they all sound like together.

    Better still, don't shop for drum stuff in R&B....they're overpriced IMO. Bruce Millers are better....but your best bet is to try stuff out at the local shops, and then buy online.[/quote']

    yes, obviously. Just after some advice regarding what goes well with what.

    Are r n b overpriced? I've always found them really good, helpful and always willing to give a discount.

  6. Hello one and all.

    Right. Well i need a crash for big choruses. I was thinking about a 17/18" avedis zldjian to go with my 22" avedis ride...does anyone have a similar cymbal? Is it any good?

    And a decent 16/17" cymbal to accompany a main crash is needed.

    I'm going to be trying out cymbals as you do in shops...but hitting a cymbal in r and b isn't quite going to give me and idea of if it's what I'm after.

    cheers.
