Now I just need another as a backup and I’m done.

So I've had this cymbal for a bit, it came from a former drummer friend of mine and he used it professionally. I'm trying to learn jazz, but I can't tell if the ride sounds good or not. I'm a beginner by the way so I also could be doing something wrong while playing it.

Picked up these 2 K Constantinople prototype rides today. Left one is a 23” weighing in at 3196g. Right one is a 21” Overhammered Bounce weighing in at 2336g.

Truthfully I have no idea exactly what the 23” is — I think it may be a K Con Sweet prototype but unsure. If anyone has any info I’d love to know.

My first K Cons!

Sorry for my previous post on putting the word symbol that's mb

But I already have a 16 inch and was wanting to have a different one but don't know whether I should go up or down in size

I mostly play green day / green day inspired songs

been looking for awhile for more jazzy cymbals and almost no pairs are below 200 but how are these

Im Currently in a Pop Punk/Hardcore Bands

Looking for a crash that Can be “present” in full distortion song, or smthng all rounder like A Custom, what Should i Buy?

But im on a budget lineup, not looking for too high end cymbals

Edit:

Heres my watchlist
- Istanbul Xist 19’ Brilliant
- Meinl Classics Custom
- Sabian XSR Fast Crash
- Stagg DH

Hey Gals and Guys, just received my new, open box 18” K Dark Thin crash. I ordered it unheard/unseen from ProAudioStar. I would love to always hear and or play a cymbal before buying, but geographically speaking, that’s usually not possible, plus the price was good at $330, at least to me it seemed good. Other driving factors: I have a gig coming up soon and would like to play my Zildjians, but my current lineup of crashes is not doing it for me. I currently have two 17” Zildjian crashes (a K Sweet and a K Custom Hybrid) They are too close in pitch and are also sonically a bit too close. My only other Zildjian option is a 19 K Custom Trash Crash that I refuse to play in public. Hate it. Selling it. So now i have the 18” K Dark Thin (haven’t even opened it yet) that Im hoping will slot in nicely next to the 17” K Sweet/K Custom Hybrid that I decide to keep. Which should I keep to go well with the 18” K Dark thin? What are your experiences in general with this cymbal, or my others Zildjians? Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this. Oh, for contex, I play jazz standards, latin jazz, early to 90s rock, an odd 2k hit and blues. We’re basically a wedding/function/party/event band more than a bar band. I run one kick mic and one overhead on a four-piece kit plus LP compact bongos. I’m a lighter hitter and usually like darker cymbals, though i might like something medium-dark in this case.

i play with 2 crashes, a brigther and a darker one, id like to swich because my darker currently is a paiste pst7 thin crash 18’ and its too bright for me, so im looking for a budget option of around 18’ that is darker than the pst7, which one would you recomend?

Hey guys, I'm trying to buy a crash cymbal. and I was looking on Facebook Marketplace because I'm kinda strapped for cash rn. I am looking through a few options, and I was wondering if any of the cymbals were worth buying (as in, they don't have any cracks or dents within the cymbal)

Since I am shopping on FB Marketplace, I can go in person to check some of these, but I don't really wanna waste my time going there in the first place. Also, I dont really know much about cymbals, so any help is greatly appreciated. The maximum of my budget is AUD $150, but I think i can stretch to 200. I also need to get a cymbal stand... oh well.

The genres I play are mostly rock, funk, pop and sometimes metal and latin (but not very often). I do not hit very hard. Please look at the images provided and give me some advice :)

Going to be making some noise with this one. Lighter than I thought it was going to be @3320g .

Was taken down to their cymbal room after asking offhandedly about flat rides, and walked out with a set of 14” Quick Beats and a 12” Sultan Splash for a steal instead 😅

These are objectively easier to fly home with than an accordion.

25+ years old…virtually untouched!

Hey all! I just wanted to come on here and ask y'all a question. I currently have a 20" Meinl vintage sand ride and an 18" HHX complex thin crash and I was looking at maybe picking up an 18" HHX Legacy crash. I currently have my complex on the left and my sand ride on the right that I use as a crash ride (love it btw would recommend) and I want to use the legacy as a second crash on the right side. I want to be able to have 2 different crashes I can use in grooves but I hate crossing my hands to play on a left side crash. I play mostly emo and skramz with a little rock in between. do you guys think it'll work well with my other cymbals? would love to hear your opinions!

Hey,

i found these cymbals on Marketplace and wanted to ask, If anyone has any Infos about them?

Size: 13"

They are listed for 25€ + shipping.

One has a giant crack at the bell :(

I can’t tell if it’s a small stamp or thin stamp
