Nice score INVG! You definitely good some great hi-hat cymbals. As to the cleaning, some would say that you should leave them just as they are, because they have mellowed with age (and a bit of grime...

Well, when you hear the pro quality cymbals, you will start to struggle with the ZBT's, especially the crashes. On the other hand, if this is what you can afford, they will get you started, and...
Nice pick up Ciz. I got a one in the 18" size, and I agree that it's a very cool sounding cymbal.
That's a nice family of cymbals you've got there Jazzkat. What's that A Custom doing in there? :icon_mrgreen:
Welcome to Drum Chat CollinCo.Drummer!
I think BWB was just adding up the cost of all the cymbals in the Zildjian catalogue.
You do have an impressive collection though. Like you, I tend to...
I think you would find that to be a pretty good China. I would probably go for the $50, if I couldn't get it down any farther.
Ciz, I have the 18" A Custom EFX, and I love that...
Welcome to Drum Chat Chrisbkk!
You've got a good cllection of cymbals there. Have you thought of a Fast Crash? I have an 18" A Custom Fast Crash on my kit, and it is my favorite cymbal.
POS, that is just cool!
TPO, the Zildjian A (Avedis) cymbals and the A Custom cymbals have the same relationship as the Zildjian K cymbals and the K Custom cymbals. There is the A series, and the K series. The "Custom"...
Welcome to Drum Chat Rickjagger, and sorry about the delay in the welcome!
I don't know much about specific cymbals from the 70's and 80's, but I am sure there are plenty of people here that do. ...
One thing that you have to understand, bustoff, is that what you hear online is for general reference only. Keep in mind that cast cymbals are far more individual than sheet cymbals, so each cast...
I understand bustoff. Cymbals are such a personal sound that you really have to let your own ears guide you.
As to hearing the A series cymbals on the site, I just checked it and they are...
I would classify the A series as a little brighter than the A Custom, while the A Custom would be considered a bright cymbal, but I hear it as slightly warmer than the A series. Bustoff, I would...
Now THAT'S what I call great cymbal placement! :boom-crash:
I have an 18" Wuhan China, and a 12" Agazarian China (made by Wuhan, they say) too. Great sounding chinas, but like you said, you have to choose carefully, and be willing to go through a whole pile...
Tim, the Wuhan cymbals are indeed a way to save cost. The thing you have to decide is whether you can deal with the slight "china" sound that they have. I don't know if it is a matter of me having...
TMI Fullstop! TMI! :loller:
areFish, I've had to collect some gear so that I could learn how to do a contemporary service, and to learn how to run sound. The church that I serve has no background in either, so it was all up to...
Well, I ran into a used 10" A Custom Splash at my local music store for $65. I decided not to worry about whether it would sound right with my 12" Wuhan Splash, or the 12" Agazarian China because...
What Zildjian series are you going with saunders, or will you mix it up?
I have a 16" A Custom Crash, and an 18" A Custom Fast Crash, and although I like them both, my favorite is the Fast Crash. Since my drumming will be mostly in a church setting, the Fast Crash has a...
Riouel, I've got the 18" A Custom Fast Crash on my kit too. It is my favorite crash cymbal, so I keep it right over my hi-hats. Enjoy your new baby!
Welcome to Drum Chat Ralph!
Marty, it hangs just like a regular cymbal, and it has what I think of as a bright sound with just a hint of the trashiness of a China. I think of it as "China light." My 18" Wuhan China is very...
Well, this afternoon I paid off a used cymbal and brought it home. I had been tapping on it at the store for about for a month when I finally made the decision that I wanted it for my kit. It's an...
