    Default Symphonic Cymbals?

    Been reviewing my meager cymbal collection and find I have a lot of small cymbals. Looking to bridge the gap between hats and a 22" K Constinople ride.
    Been thinking about Symphonic\Orchestral/Suspended cymbals. Anyone own or have experience with these?

    all the best...

    I had a aax suspended(on a stand) beautiful cymbal,one of the better sounding I tried awesome crash ride (I was looking for a 2nd ride)tried at home :21" sweet ride,21" RBDR, 20"+21"stage ,20" medium Zildjian ,the only reason I took the suspended back was because I was worried about resale if I wanted to put it on cl down the road,I ended up with 20" HH medium great cymbal

    How are they made that makes them different from any other quality cymbals?

    I have a school suspensded symphonic cymbal on one of my kits. It's a beautiful washy brilliant sound. But a very soft cymbal to be used with mallets.

    Are they lathed and hammered like other cymbals? I like some of the sound bites I'm hearing.

    Definitely seem to be. It must be in the metal used as they also have a darker color and are soft but so sensitive I love it.

    For a long time before I switched my crashes to Meinl I was using a Sabian 18" SR2 light suspended. These are refurbished from other pro Sabian lines and what I had was something hand hammered. It was one of the most versatile crashes I had ever heard, very responsive even with fingers and it would work with just about any cymbal set-up, from bright to dark. Very balanced sound.
