Yeah, the 2002 line are some pretty thick cymbals. Great for loud, live playing, but not the best in the studio. That's just my opinion, but I prefer to record with faster cymbals that do their thing and get out of the way quickly. I don't play with this particular kit, but I do play with a vintage luddy kit with 24 kick, 14 rack tom and the 16 and 18 floor tom. I like to record with my Istanbul cymbals. I use em big, but thin for studio work. 18-19" crashes and 22" ride. I'm all over the board on hats as I've got a lot to choose from. I might use 13" k's or old Paiste 602's in a 14". I might use 2002 Sound Edges in a 14 or 15", regular A's in anything from 12" to 15". My current favs are the winner for the worst name EVER. They're the Funky Rock hats from istanbul. To me, they're a cross between the Zildjian a and k line.

later,
