A Drummers tragic but true story.
I’m still in shock. :eek:
See I had the afternoon off, as the customer I just did a reno for pay me
in CASH
in FULL
BEFORE 4:30 pm on a Friday.
So, with a job that paid 3 times what it was worth (I couldn’t really handel it , so I priced it to LOSE the job, and ended up with it anyway???) In my pocket I ran a few erands.
Annnnnnnnnnndddd
I decided to spoil myself a bit.
I was looking at adding a new 20 ride cymbal to my set up.
I really wanted a Zildjian K ,

but allas even though I had a temporary wind fall, I do have to finish the baby’s room, so I had to set my sights a bit lower.
I tried a few others and nothing really caught my attention. I guess I had my hart set on something, so that’s what I wanted.
Anyway, my buddy who works at the store says "listen, let me try a few more ofr ya, but promise NOT to look at them. (Meaning stand back on and listen.)
So he pulls out a Paiste, a few other Zildjian’s, Istabul’s, ALL of which I said "NO. I play Zildjian’s PERIOD!"
Yes Mike Pertnoy and Neil Pert God’s gift’s to drumming) play Sabian’s, My two favorite drummers Tommy Lee and Matt Sorum, both play Zildjian’s, so fair is fair right?, (Oh by the way I’m stoned so there may be a bit of rambling in this post. You know how I can get on sometimes. :D )
Anyway, he talks me into playing a smooth 4/4 time beat, wearing sunglasses so black I could hardly see the kit, following another buddy of mine who manages the guitar counter, after he set up a few Rides.
Out of the 3 he set up I liked #2.
He kept it, changed the other 2, mixing them up.
This time I liked #3 (formerly #2)
One last time, AGAIN I nailed the same ride.
A Sabian, A ****ING SABIAN,
I nearly cried :deevee:
If I wasn’t so worried about losing it’s sweet overtone ring up by the bell, I’d polish the name off it and maybe not cringe every time I hit it..
Tonight for the first time in my life I brought home a Sabian cymbal
a 20" AAX Stage Ride.
