Any thoughts on it? Good? Bad?
I got a new chinese for Christmas, a 16", LP Rancan (Same thing as the Wuhan's that Neil Peart played).
My old man suggested one of those Aquarian cymbal springs, and he said the guy that he bought it from told him that's what he used and what was recommended.
Now my experience with these things, I played on a kit a few times at my buddy's house, and he had the cymbal springs on the crashes, and they sounded choked, and were very stiff. They didn't flow or move. There was no play in the cymbals at all. Could it be that he just had the springs adjusted very tight and there is an option to loosen them?
With my china's, I've always just plopped them on a stand, upside down (bell upside down, facing the floor) and I tighten them down just enough so that there is still some "play" and so they're not choked. I've busted a few Wuhan china's though, at least one every year, a 12" one. Should I go ahead and try the Aquarian cymbal spring? Will it prolong the life of my china, but at the same time, not choking it or making it stiff?
Help me out and share some of your thoughts/advice, please. Thanks.
