Hi Folks..
So I picked up this cymbal today at a second hand store. I don't know anything about it, and was wondering if someone could maybe I.D. it...
See the attached pics. The cymbal is 18" and I couldn't get a decent pic, but it says "Made in Canada"
Thanks

The Z Custom 14" hi hat top was delivered last week and I practiced with it yesterday. Two words 'love it'!. Great chick, great tone half open to wide open and loud!. It is being matched with my Sabian AAX Stage Hat bottom and I think I like it more than the AAX top. More projection than the AAX top.
It has the the snowflake hammer mark pattern. Matches my Z Custom 18" crash which also has the snowflake. Very happy

Hi,
So just bought some new Zildjian A Custom cymbals and really like the sound and the shine. But they attract stick marks really well, is there anything I can do to prevent this? The guy in store said not to use the cleaner more than 2 times a year.
Thanks.
Nothing to prevent them, just use cleaner. Be easy on the logos, they'll come off. I usually tape them then use a bit of WD-40 to get rid of the lines the tape make, it also cleans what the cleaner didn't get. WD-40 won't wipe the logos. Hope this helps!

Hello everybody!
I'm a fairly unexperienced person when it comes to choosing cymbals. I've been playing for a year and I do only play in my sparetime and in a fun-band.
Anyway, I've been looking around on the German website thomann.de and I've found 2 cymbals that I thought were quite decent, considering the price.
I've also seen a few videos featuring these cymbals - though I felt the urge to get some comments or feed back from some more experienced drummers.
The two cymbals are as following.:
Zildjian 16" ZBT Rock Crash -
... And...
Zildjian 18" ZBT Rock Crash -
(Yes, the links are in Danish, sorry but the prices are in € - and yes, I'm Danish )
They seem to sound very decent and as goes for the price.
Is it worth the purchase, should I go for lower or higher quality hence I'm still only an amateur.
Thanks on forehand!

Question: most versatile 20" ride for "bedroom" player, As or Ks.?
Intent: beginner stuff, bluesy, if you could call it that.
I am sure this will be the only ride I will ever own (famous last words!)
Other suggestions welcome.

Hey.
Anyone who own Zildjian ZBT Rock Crashes?
Are they worth the buy?
I've found the 16" for 85 euros and the 18" for 92 euros, just wondering if there are any cymbals, which are better, but for the same price?
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 that's the most important thing.
You might check out Paiste Alphas, and Sabian B8 cymbals too.

I am not a banker, but that price seems a bit high, even for Europe. Over a $100.00 U.S., each. Maybe that's a going rate, but, in my opinion, over priced. But what do I know? I sure could be wrong, but I think it deserves a little more research before pulling that trigger.

my new a custom rezo 10 inch splash got here today and i love it, its kind of like a mini crash cymbal, but with a little trashiness in it

The Paistes seems to be too expensive, but Sabian B8s are in the same price group, so I'm gonna check em out.You might check out Paiste Alphas, and Sabian B8 cymbals too.
I had planned on adding an 18" A custom crash. But I have a chance to pick up a used 17" in great condition at a really good price. For now, I only want to add one or the other. I like how they both sound with my 16" A Custom fast crash. Honestly in the store I can't really hear too much of a difference.
Any thoughts on the 17"?

I got a heck of a deal on some a customs almost a year ago. One of my best friends got a call from a drummer he knew. He said he had some A customs he wanted to sell for 300 bucks and wanted to know if my friend knew anyone that would be interested. I happened to be sitting next to him at the time so he asked me if I wanted them. I said bring them by lets see what you got. 20 minutes later the guy pulls up and in the back of his truck, still in the box are a 20" ride, 18" crash, 16" crash, and a pair of 14" hi-hats. All A custom. As well as a 16" zbt crash and 14" zbt hi-hats. There was also a brand new gig bag too. The guy wanted 300 cash for everything. I asked him are you sure? He said absolutely.I said are these stolen? He said no I went in the hole buying a set of K customs and I need to sell these fast because my rent is coming due. So I gave him 300 cash took the cymbals and put them away in my truck and locked the door. Then I asked him if he knew that the ride cymbal alone was worth 300 bucks and he said oh yeah but I hust need rent money quick. Well Ok. So he leaves and my buddy told me that he has known the guy for a long time. The cymbals were his but over the past year the guy had developed a pretty serious meth habit, and that he most likely didnt need rent money and he probably didnt buy any K customs. So I felt really bad on the one hand for funding this guys addiction, but at the same time I kinda felt pretty good because they were the nicest cymbals I have owned yet.

If you are lucky, you can try finding used A series crashes which will be a massive upgrade. Normally much more money but due to how popular the line is there's a lot of deals on them to be found. You might also try Paiste's pst5 or alpha series, as well as checking out Kasza's R series if they are available near you.

17" is a nice size if you're going for more of a collection of pitches with your crashes, like 16/17/18 for a little more melody. If you're just trying to get a good high and low pitch crash set like most people do, i'd stick with the 16" and 18" pair to accomplish that. 17" isn't a bad cymbal, it's just not a whole note apart which in time you might begin to notice when playing certain songs. I'd go with the 18" if you're only picking up one, but 17" and 18" if you're getting two.
