Zildjian Amir cymbals

[Dawgkikker]

Anyone play these ? Was wondering if the were sheets or cast. A guy has a set of 14" hats and a 16" crash for 145.00
In the pictures he sent they look like sheets. Thanks for any advice.

Yea, amir is sheet, that was like one of the first zildjian sheets, apparently they sound really bad?

I think thats what ive heard, or is that the schimitars?

I Love Amirs ,,,,i Have Some In My Setup That Blend Beautifully Wif My A Customs,,,,,however You Are Very Correct,,,,schmitars Are Crap....the Only Thing That Made My Sons 1st Schmitars Beautiful Was That I Was Honored To Have Armand Zildjian Sign Them Personally And Thank Us Both For Bein Zildjian Players!!!!!

i have a pair of old amir hats. they are sheet, but IMO sound better than the shimitars and zbt lines that came after (yes ive owned both). the ride was quite good. Tim Alexander of primus still uses an amir ride on his main setup (think intro to primus' too many puppies).

I listened to some ZBT hats in a store and they sounded real good for sheets.

After saw the picture it's much like ZBT....
Made from Bronze.....

I liked ZBT's... And loved ZXTs and thught the world of ZHT's, These look cheap but if you say they sound good ill believe ya.

not saying the hats sound good, just better than the 13" zbt hats i have and 14" schimitars i had in the 80s.
