Does anyone use these? I'm curious, because "paper" thin sounds easily crackable! I'm looking to add a thin, fast crash, type cymbal. But I do hit hard and probably not the "correct" way that other are taught.
Would you recommend a paper thin? Or will it be too quiet or maybe break easily?

Thanks.

they do break easy if you smash the hell outta them so i wouldn`t recomend them for metal or the like ,but for quieter stuff the sound amazing especially miked up ,very very crisp....which ones are you thinking about ?

I don't use thin cymbals cause I hit hard, and because they have no sustain. If you're not miked, don't even bother with them;.

Hey, thanks for the replies.
I was looking at a Zildjian A 14" fast crash. Something quick and bright as an accent. I've been using a vintage thin hihat top that actually sounds great. But I cracked it recently. While checking ebay I saw some paper thins. I'll probably pass on those. I may just go for a thin crash if the price is right, but I like the fast crash.

the trouble with the thin ones is you don`t get any volume out of them for live playing .they sounds great in a reahearsal room but get them on a big stage and you loose them .i`d stick with mediums if you`re not miking up
