Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Stephane,

Sorry, I forgot about your PCY10. You may have to stay with the 
Yamaha, which is not a bad cymbal at all. The Hart ECX series is 
slightly similar in appearance, but I'm not sure that the chokable 
crashes will also work as effective rides. I've never used them. The 
18" ride is dual zone, which wouldn't be any help to you. 

Am I right that you are from France? If you were from the US, I'd 
recommend that you contact Ed or Charlotte Morin at the web store 
called Drumbalaya (http://www.drumbalaya.com/), who could tell you 
your best option and sell it to you at a good price. They have an 
email address (and phone number) somewhere on their site. But you 
may have closer resources if you are in Europe.

Why don't you try a new Subject heading: "Which stereo cymbals can 
be used with PCY10"?
