Sabian or Zildjian. I've been looking at the Zildjian Planet Z cymbals but I see alot of people are using the Sabians. Any suggestions?

Hi again; Sounds like you have some nice new toys coming. As you read through these posts on various subjects, you will find my opinion on cymbal purchasing here and there. Basically my theory is: Never buy cymbals because of whose name is on them,-NEVER. Bring one of your old cymbals from home that you like. Put on a blindfold if you must. Hit every cymbal that is in the room. Set aside the ones that you like. Then play them against your old cymbal and see which ones you like. Bottom line. Let YOUR EARS-not ANYONES ELSE'S EARS- make the choice. Even bring your own drumsticks.
It's the SOUND that counts. Not the label. You will know which sound YOU LIKE when you HEAR it. Not when you see who made it. Nobody can see the label from the audience, but they sure can hear it.

1.I am married to a super model.

2.I am not ugly.

1.I belive every one is a supermodel, just the ones on the runways and in photo shoots have some guts and some talent(I am definitly not a super model)

2.Nice to know you are happy with who you areand with your identity(same with the hetrosexual, which I think was sort of random).

3.I now under stand you better(I had a high vocabuary, just forgot how to use it).

4. What a pitty, I allways wanted to know what it was like to be related to some one famous,(I finaly did research, it seemed over exciting about someone so fake but), just I wouldnt want to be related to Anna Nichole Smith. also Having you mother Madusa wouldn't help your drumming one bit.(I can immagin rock solid stage fright).

Yep those were my effords to bring back conversation to the forums
