So, I got these cymbals and stands on indefinite loan for $100 (which will be payed back to me when he wants them back) just yesterday.
I've been fucking around with them and having lots of fun and whatnot with all the new possibilities.
It's a Sabian B8 thin crash and ride.
They're pretty trashy sounding cymbals but I don't mind too much.
They have a bit of character to them, for sure.
I've tried two different basic positions:
Two shot of the first:
Two shots of the second:
I have been playing primarily in the first position.
It allows me to use that ride as a really gross sounding crash, sort of like my alternative to a china.
