cymbals

Selling some cymbals: Paiste 18" Rude Wild Crash Paiste 19" Rude Wild Crash Paiste 15" Sound Edge Hi-Hats. The crashes are in excellent condition. A little dirty, some scratches but no cracks/dents/chips/keyhole/etc. The top hat has a very small 1/4 crack, hopefully visible in the picture...

What's the best cymbal setup for a funk gig

I'm starting to play drums again after a long hiatus. I picked up a kit off reverb and ordered some Paiste cymbals in the form of a pack of PST7's. My question is how do these compare to the 2002's? I believe they are made out of the same alloys and the biggest difference is that the 7s are...

What do you guys think of Sabians versus Zildjians. I rule Paiste out a long time ago but Neil Peart swears by Sabians. I have always been a Zildjian fan myself.

I know Charlie Watts' go to china is an 18 inch UFIP Natural Series Fast China. I'm looking for a china that sounds closest to his but I do not want to buy his exact UFIP because $350+ price tag. I just can't bring myself to pay that much for a china that I will use as a crash and could possibly...

Greetings from Omaha. :hello2: Just wondering how many of you out there have tried the new Zildjian Keropes and what your thoughts were? I have one of the first ones, love the tone, but the pitch is not quite what I'd hoped for. Any comments would be welcome.

Hey guys, I've got way too many cymbals in my loft right now (just came back from a few buying runs) so I've decided to run a sale for Drumforum members for the next week! I'm releasing it to you guys before anyone else so you get the pick of the litter. Just type in DFOtwenty while checking...

I just purchased a 21"A Zildjian sweet ride, and when I got it home, I noticed the there was a crecent shaped divet about the size of a q tip right around the hole on top of the cymbal. There are 2 other tiny divets on the cymbals bow, but thy do not concern me. The larger divet is darker than...

Hey all, My bottom Hi-Hat cymbal has a crack in it, and it inverts when played. At first the crack was small so I didn't pay attention to it (Like an idiot) but it grow without my knowing. I can play it for about 20 seconds before it inverts. It's super annoying and I have to stop every time...

Hey Everyone! I just inquired on the Saluda Cymbal website about their trade-in program. I'm looking at trading my collection of Zildjian A and A customs for a brand new set of custom Saluda Cymbals. What is everyone's experience with Saluda? Your opinion on the sound and quality? I know they...

Hello Everybody, So I'm gathering drummers opinions and first hand experiences to help configure the new set up I'd like to do with my cymbals. I play in a psychedelic blues rock band call The Fuss, and I'm looking to get the best sounds out of my cymbals. After weeks of cymbal tapping I've...
