I mainly use 14" & 15" Hats but in this comparison all the combinations feat. the 17" Signature Traditionals sound amazing ❤🔥 The 17" Signature Traditionals is one of my favorite Crashes as well.
For me 15" hi-hats are the ideal size. I have been playing 15" RUDE SE for decades now, as well as 15" Sig Power Hi-Hts. Those bigger ones in this video sound nice though, but they're not my cup of tea.
Combo 10 makes the cut for me in this 17" diameter comparison. I frequently used a 16 Rude Crash-Ride as bottom and a 16 Twenty (Masters) crash on top. Works wonders.
I Did this a few months ago with Various 16s. 16 Masters Dark top & 16 sound formula power crash Bottom. And also with a Dark Enery Top. They were pretty Damn Sweet. Just so happen to own a 17 Masters Dark & 17 Dark Energy that I'm gonna have to Try out after watching this Vid. Thanks 🎯
For less hihat bleed in the snare mic, try a hypercardioid such as the Beyer M201. Or even miking the "shell" on the side instead of the top head. Great shootout! Something I love doing with my 13" Paiste hats ;) (DE, dark crisp, and 505). Based on the recordings though, I actually thought the Masters / DE combination was the most washy/legato and least defined/crisp - which if you're going for a Steve Jordan sound, might just be what you're after :)
Very interesting. I’ve been digging on the masters dark for a long time, but I can’t afford them. Fortunately, I have a great set of big beats. I’m with you in that I also like combo 3!

15" hats are my standard :)
17" Traditionals sounded the best to my ears!

would have like to hear 2oo2 17" Sound Edge in that mix... I really like the SE feature ! have played various ones over the years...
The first pair, simply two 17” Trads.
I use 16" Masters Thin Crash over the 16" Dark Energy, too!
What is the name of the Song in the Intro??
14 inch Rude Sound Edge and an 18 inch Rude crash/ride on top of my old 18 Alpha Rock China-Paiste makes the best cymbals I've ever played!!!
That masters / rude combination is killer 🔥🔥❤️👏
#paistefamily
Great video, thanks! I personally like the 16" Signature fast crash as a top on a 16" RUDE crash/ride bottom
Digging those blue drums. What are they ?
What timing. I was just thinking about which crash combo to try for 16”.

I don’t always open my hi hats on beat 1 but when I do it’s with PAISTE CYMBALS

molto molto bello il suono della combinazione tra Master dark Crash/formula 602 modern essentials crash !!
Hello Jan Pohl.!! The last hit on the crash cymbal what series is it?
Hi Johnny! That’s a 20” Masters Thin. Beautiful crash indeed!
😎👍💗🇨🇭🔥🎼🔊)) PAISTE!!!
To each..is own..l guess
Not my sound..
Too many high end cymbals, where are the 900’s or Rudes
Sounds more or less all same with little nuances - only "nerds" can hear a difference :-)
No, too big
