backspacer cymbal setup

clemmys

Anyone aware of the cymbals (diameter/name) that Matt used on the backspacer album and subsequent tour? I feel like his crahses were a bit brighter on this album, or at least the smaller one in the middle of his setup. I'm looking to duplicate that sound if anyone has the exact info...thanks.

Well i know for a fact he uses all ziljian cymbals and that he uses a 21in a series ride cymbal.. and on the album i wanna say the cymbal all the way to the left is a 16in zildjian a series crash.. the one right on the side i know is a k series dark crash i would prob say 16 or 17 in. I kno he used to use 15in a series sweet hats but i believe right now hes using 15 k hats and all the say to the right it is a 18in a series crash... im not positive on most of this but this is what i think he uses just from watching 2009-2010 footage. just try out some of these cymbals and let me kno how they work out for you
Hope i could help
