Sexy Cymbal Photos

[TPC]

This one has been getting a lot of stand time recently.
22” Agop China (very very thin at about 16xx g). I’ve been putting this little wind chime on there to quicken it up a bit. It’s pure joy.

Here are some shots of my various Zildjians and Sabians, after a fresh polish. Some like natural patina, while others like bright and shiny; to each his own.

18" HHX Chinese with 17" and 18" AAX Crashes

Custom vented 18" and 20" Oriental China Trashes... Glorious look and sound!

I like the way the bronze glows, and the way the yellowed silver of my bass drum matches so well

This one just-as-easily belongs in the Birds Eye View thread, but...
It's a shot I snapped of my friend's set.

All the cymbals in the pictures are old stamp K's and one is a trans stamp. The first one is a IIIa, and it sounds as beautiful as it looks.

... my newest addition: a VERY early "E over trade" stamped 18" 602 medium (1605g), circa 1963 to 1965.
You can see the bell shape is completely different and the hole is only 0.400" instead of the standard 0.500"!

Good find. Is this 18inch 602 Medium discussed somewhere else? Would be interesting to get your impressions or hear its sound. Such a bell 'must' sound good.
