Pickles go great with a pastrami or corned beef sandwiches.

Re: question about cymbals


I always have Pastrami.
They redesigned the Alphas since then Butter.
They made them Semi-pro cymbals. They are a little more expensive than Xs20's.
About $10 more. They are now hand hammered and hand lathed. They are really
good recording/stage cymbals too. They have really big bells too.
STAY AWAY FROM THE BLACK ALPHAS. They are terrible!!!

Re: question about cymbals


Wouldn't it be weird to have someone elses name on your cymbals if you were famous?
I don't know how they sell those. That extra coating of black just makes the
cymbal thicker. And lower quality. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

Re: question about cymbals


yea id never buy anything with someone else's name on it, besides maybe sticks, but thats it.
i guess they sell them by just making them sound good to people that are new to drumming and dont realize how bad they are. they pretty much just cheat the beginners.

Re: question about cymbals


We are past that point.
Maybe because soo many new drummers are into metal and Joey Jordison,
they think, Oh Joey is an amazing drummer, these cymbals must be amazing too!
Oh look, they are expensive! Alphas are cheaper, and WAY better, kids.
Same here. Sticks are completely fine to have a signature.
by the way, Alpha series has medium crashes, rock crashes, and thin crashes.
They all have different sizes, and are all hand hammered. Check them out on youtube.com.
