Members lossforgain Posted August 23, 2009 Members Share Posted August 23, 2009 I know you're not totally stupid about this stuff, so it seemed to me that you were trying to make Paiste look ridiculously expensive compared to others like a lot of Zild and Sabe lovers do. Not my M.O. -- just comparing each brand's most expensive models across the board. Although I don't play Paiste I don't have anything against them. It does seem like many players I know who have switched to Paiste or want to switch are aiming for the Dark Energies. Those are certainly my favorite sounding Paistes.

Members LowPhreak Posted August 23, 2009 Members Share Posted August 23, 2009 I thought they had some Zildjian qualities when I played them at Sam Ash. I was comparing a lot of different cymbals that day with another drummer, and we both heard it. The GB's I played weren't dark at all in my opinion, about as dark as a thin Zild.As far as used, as long as it aint broke, why the hell not buy used, buying new is wasting money, let someone else take the loss. I suppose some might hear some Zild qualities in them, but IMO they're not much like most B20 Zild I've played. What I said was they're like a darker 2oo2, but that doesn't mean they would sound dark to you - depends on your definition of "dark". I also said used is fine if you know what you're getting. I've bought plenty of used pies. I was under the impression the OP wanted new and had time to save up for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LowPhreak Posted August 23, 2009 Members Share Posted August 23, 2009 Not my M.O. -- just comparing each brand's most expensive models across the board. . OK, I see what you're saying. But remember the 1/2 pricing. TBH, I don't know how far some of these dealers can go on other brands pricing coz I don't buy many of those.

Members marko46 Posted August 23, 2009 Members Share Posted August 23, 2009 I agree with everybody. But just a thought. Why not get a hold of Jamie, and see what kinda package Saluda will put together for ya? Could all be sonically matched up. Just a suggestion.
