Zildjin ZXT Titanium?

[sac]

Does anyone have these yet? I was wondering if they dulled yet or how they sound. Thanks

[LIMPy]

A friend of mine has one. I'll have to ask him about it.

[Drummer4Him]

Yeah I would like to know as well, they look like a cool idea, but I would like to find out beforehand. So when I can afford them, I will snatch them up.

[Utopia]

they look cool but i've nvr heard em

I have 2 ZXT titaniums- a 16 medium thin and 18 medium thin crashes and a 14 regular medium crash ZXT(not titanium) . They are bright with a longer sustain because of the titanium coating. They do work very well in a live situation. When I practice on my own I will put some gaffers tape on them to shorten up the sustain. I also have 14 zildjian new beat hats and a avedis 22 ride. I play mostly classic rock.

[Dave]

I should also mention that you cannot clean these titanium cymbals like you would regular ones. Only soapy water or the titanium coating will eventually wear off.

i have them and they sound awsome.!!! thats if your into rock?? cuz i got the rock hi-hats and the rest of the cymbals.there realy good but to expensive

This is just something another drummer told me about the Zildjian Titaniums, I can't state this from experience: The Titaniums are so loud, you'll end up drowning out the rest of the band. Might not be such a bad idea if your band sucks, but just a thought...

[Dave]

They do have great projection for sure. Thats why for a live situation, they sound good. No need to have mics on them. But in practice they do drown out the guitars and drums to a point. Thats why Im using gaffers tape to tame them down during practice.

i would suggest saving up a little more and buying some a customes or a's even k's depending on the music you play. having pro cymbals that last you a long time is better than cheap mid level / beginer cymbals than break in 6 months..

I once played a friends kit who had them, they look pretty cool but i thought the sustain was too long for my liking.

what cleaner/polish do you use on your cymbals? would i need a special one for my titaniums? they need a polish/clean very badly but am scared of using anything that can damage them, as i used a metal cleaner on my drums and it stripped a layer of silver off!!

[Stevo42w]

Nothing but cymbol polish/cleaner i guess. Music stores keep the stuff in stock
