Zildjian suggestions needed

[DrumWhipper]

I’m going to be purchasing a K Sweet pack soon but want to add an additional crash or effects crash. I play a lot of country and blues, and will be looking for an 18” cymbal. I’m open to suggestions, so let me know what you’d suggest. Thanks in advance for any advice!

I recently purchased a K Sweet pack myself (after listening to sound samples from Memphis Drum shop). Love the set I got, and then decided I wanted an 18" K Sweet to go with the set. Based on listening, and judging the weight of the 18 vs the 17 and 19 in the pack, I think I found the perfect 18 to add to the line up. I also purchased an 18" K EFX cymbal that adds a really nice, well, effect to the mix. I play electric blues, and classic rock.

I thought you had a K Sweet pack already?

I'd recommend
18" A custom EFX
18" K Cluster
19" K Hybrid Trash Smash

I love my 18” K Dark Thin Crash. Really musical with quick decay - it always sounds right to me.

The cluster crashes are pretty dang great as well

I did at one time. They came up missing during a multi-day out of state gig with other bands. Entire case, and all..

With that being said, I’ve decided on the following:

15” K Fat Hats
17” K Sweet Crash
18” Cluster Crash
19” K Sweet Crash
21” K Sweet Ride

That's frustrating. Good setup though!

It sucked for sure. I ended up meeting a Zildjian rep and have been communicating with him. While I’m in no way an endorsed artist he has been able to get me a considerable discount compared to MSRP with other retailers.
