| Hi fellow Drummers , I'm new to "Drum World" so I might need some help on the way... I'm also kinda new to drumming but i've learned a lost so far.
My first question: Does anyone know what kind of cymbals I would need to play Teenagers by My Chemical Romance? Like how many crashes? Where can I get those cymbals, etc. etc.
Thanks, Shazib

| The drummer in the video is useing a very minimalist set up. Looks like a heavy ride and maybe two crashes. This music isn't delicate, a set of Sabian B8s or something similar would probably suffice.

| Hey, watch what you say about 24" rides! 

(At the risk of confusing the hell out of our new member, I'll mention that I'm just having a little bit of fun. Just a little bit.) 
Ditto on what everyone else has said: basic cymbal setup (ride, a couple of crashes), go to a drum shop or music store, try out some cymbals, pick up the ones that sound the best to you (taking affordability into account, of course).
Think about how many "general business" bands there are out there, playing weddings, corporate events, and the like, where the drummer covers a variety of styles - and a variety of bands - with one cymbal setup. Playing the song properly is far more important than having the "correct" cymbals. | | Message posted 72 days ago | IP Logged |

| They dwarf the whole kit. LOL. I bet they crash "just fine".
