I am a Metalcore,Hardcore,and Grindcore drummer

I really need help on cymbals.

I really need a good china for breakdowns, and some trashy crashes. Could anyone steer me in the direction of some good stuff i could buy?

Thank you.

if you play harder, try either the sabian apx, zildjian z3/ z custom, meinl mb 8/10/20, or paiste rudes or alpha's those cymbals were designed for heavier music and to take a beating

not to be baised but oriental china trashes by zildjian are really good... but if you want a cheap trashy china go for either wuhan chinas, or stagg chinas

Use sabian xs20's for good quality cymbals and low price tag, but get AAX for a better sound.

Paiste Alphas where created for heavy-hitting.
Go to a local music store and see what sounds the best to your ear.
It's your cymbal, try whats best for you.
Good Luck, and Happy Drumming!

As far as China's Go WUHAN baby. Get at least an 18" at minumum. Maybe even a 19" they're much heavier than Wuhan's smaller China's. Best part if you do demolish it your not our all that much. Maybe $50-$60 bucks or so. I would definitly start with a Wuhan and see how well it holds up, before you plunk down some hard earn coin on a higher end and much more expensive china from the BIG3. Besides Wuhan's are dark trashy and just F'n nasty. I love'm T

I have an AAX 18" that is sometimes loaned around time, and a 22" Oriental that is currently being loaned after two drummers used it at a concert.

Wuhan check out the 22" a friend of mine (drummer of Angels beneath Me) A hard hitter had one when I last saw him and hadn't broke it then. For about $100 even I recommend it

Paiste alphas are primarily designed for hard rock, but they do diversify a fair bit.

I own an alpha 18" china wich has sounded great for the last 13 years. I've had many a sound guy comment on it. If you go to either of my myspaces below you can hear it in action.

If you're looking for a good, trashy accent cymbal, I highly recommend the Sabian AA 18" Rocktagon. That thing sounds like a punch in the face every time you hit it.

Sound sample here: SABIAN Cymbals - AA Rocktagon Crash 18"

I would say Zildjian A customs, they have great rides and china's.

Crashes i would think Paiste Alphas or Sabian AAXplosion. They're very trashy and my personal favourites, but its up to you.

Good luck choosing : ).
