    Default Time for a new cymbal

    And time to start on my K Custom Hybrid setup. Currently I have a 16" ZBT crash, should I add a 17" or a 19" Hybrid Crash?

    id start 17. 19 are great cymbals, but the 17 will be much more versatile until you add on

    well since you have the 16 if you like it id go with the 19 because that gives you a broader range, if you dont like it the 17 pitch wont be way to far off from the 16 so it would act more replacementy.
    play till the day i die. it makes more sense that way.

    For metal I would say a 19", it would cut better than a 17" I would think. But really I guess I would start replacing what ever less expensive cymbal you have that sounds the worst to you.

    I find a 17 the most usefull of all cymbals, Its just a taste for me, some people like 15's as their main crash, a lot more like 16's, and a lot like 18's, But I like that in-between, perfect, a bigger sound then a 16 when needed, but not as raw as an 18

    The 19 will have a big sound, and it will be a big cymbal with a big ring, but it will also have a bigger price tag, If your going for some metal (well I wouldnt really suggest hybrids for heavy-heavy music, rock ok, metal no) then your probably gonna want that big 19 sound, if your more of an all around person, the 17 crash is probably what your looking into

    if you're replacing the ZBT, i'd say go w/ the 17". first off, it is going to be of so much better quality that the size would not be my top concern. you are going to love either one. but better quality, 1" bigger, less expensive up front...that's just my opinion.

    i had the ZBT 16" crash but i sold it a month ago because it didn't fit very well with my A custom and Avedis crashes... i have to say that i really liked this cymbal
    i think that the choice between the 17" and the 19" depends of your style of playing.
    Personally i don't like that much big differences between my cymbals anyway i think that later you will also sell the ZBT to buy a hybrid one... so go for the 17"
