Hi All,
I have the following set of Zildjian cymbals that I am thinking of parting with:
15" A New Beat High Hats
16" K Custom Hybrid Thin Crash
18" K Custom Dark Crash Medium Thin
19" K Custom Hybrid China
20" K Constantinople Medium Thin Ride High
These have never left my house since purchased a few years ago, lightly played, none of them can be told from brand new. I am pondering the idea of going with Meinl cymbals, and that is the ONLY reason for thinking of selling these. Just to try something different. Again, all of these are mint/brand new condition. Haven't thought about a price...just trying to see if anyone is in the market for a set like this.

Well it would help a little if you gave a price on the cymbals then that way drummers here would know how much you want for them separately or a whole. Then form there you can negotiate.
I would advise you keep these.
Go ahead and buy the Meinl; after a short period, you will want to go back to the Zildjians.

Meinl has some good products and some, well...............not so hot.
Zildjian has been a market leader for decades............and for good reason.
Your Ks are premium cymbals that other companies attempt to match.
Among my many prized Zildjians (As & Ks), I use a Meinl stack............it adds an effect that I like and I use it where it fits, although sparingly.
I love to have options and there is nothing wrong with owning both...........or even many brands.
I simply don't want to see anyone here give up some great cymbals and regret it later.

Decide whether this is love for the craft or simply an ego thing

K's all the way. I would like it if I could find a metallurgist to melt down my K's when I die to make an urn to put my ashes in. I don't own anything BUT Zildjian K's. I have been a fan of them since 1985. Slowly auditioning and adding to my signature mix over the years. While I have found some cymbals that I liked the sounds from (Paiste Signature, Meinl Byzance Dark) it's never been enough to actually part with hard earned money for. I've entertained the notion of buying a whole set of Dream Bliss cymbals just for fun variation and because the whole set costs less than a single 22" K Constantinople, but I still haven't done it.
Cut it large and kick it into place!
Curt...PM'd you.
