Members NomadDudeMan Posted July 14, 2010 Members Share Posted July 14, 2010 I know that cymbals have weights and I am looking at rides on CL and I dont know what a thin, med, heavy weight is normally. this one guy has a vintage 22 inch ride. 6 pounds.. that seems pretty heavy.

Members xtranoise Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hijack ... Anyone have a recommendation on a type of scale (or an exact model) to use for weighing cymbals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carpathian Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yeah, any postage scale on ebay that is super cheap will do. Find one that offers a tare function and weighs in grams. If not the calculations aren't too difficult but you will have a range of anywhere from 5-10 grams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carpathian Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 http://cgi.ebay.com/5kg-5000g-1g-Digital-Kitchen-Food-Diet-Postal-Scale-379-/250607366180?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a595cf024 This one might work but then again it could be hard to read with the cybal overhang.. This is the cheapest on I found in less than 30 secs. They are way easy to find Just search postal scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RumStik Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 Or, if you don't want to buy your way into the cymbal weighing business, just tuck a pie under your arm and head for your local post office. They'll weigh anything you bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It beeps and holds the reading while I take the cymbal off so I don't have trouble seeing the display. I use it to weigh all my cymbals and all my outgoing boxes.
