Crashes? Paiste fans how do you mix n' match?

[coolsoundman]

I just bought a brand new Paiste Signature fast crash 14". I have a 505 16" crash and a 3000 series 18" crash. I really love the sound of the sound of the fast crash and I'm looking into buying another crash to replace my 16". The 16" crash is very nice and I've had this cymbal for like 20 years and I want to replace it for a new model. I like the signature series and I'm like leaning toward another fast crash model. How do you guys mix and match your setup? Would having two fast crash cymals in different sizes matter or reach for a full or mellow crash? Any thoughts on this matter?

My drum teacher had a 16" fast crash and a 17" full crash... or maybe it was a 17" fast crash and a 16" full crash... not quiet sure, but the two sounded as if they were made for each other. Of course, his friend hand picked them from the Paiste factory, so thats different, but you might wanna check out a full crash.
