honestly, i can't find anything that i like locally and keep getting crappers off ebay, etc. anyone got a nice ride cymbal, 21 inches and up (22-26 preferred), don't care about the make, just need something with a medium to heavy weight, ping, no overbearing overtones, some wash and the ability to crash it.

 

i hate to spam the board, it's actually my first drum forum post (i post on the effects forums), but if anyone could help i'd really appreciate it. i have stuff i can trade as well.

 

pm me, i'll subscribe to this thread as well. thanks in advance.

Check out cymbalceller.com. He seems to have some decent deals and a fairly wide selection. I've not used him yet, but I intend to. If anyone has had a bad experience by all means post it. Kevin's right about the Zildjian A though- tough to beat in my book.

the only zildjians that i actually like are the older ones, typically the larger big band rides. it just seems like i've tried everything and can't find one that suits me.

 

i play an early 70s slingerland kit with oversized toms, and my crashes are a 20 inch instanbul and a 22 inch zyn. i just HAVE to find a good ride that will mix with everything else and not break the bank. anyone else seen what 24-28 inch zildjians are going for nowadays?

 

i'll check out that site, thanks for the tip mang!

can you show me a pic? i might be intersted. there might be a way to drill the hole out or maybe put a rivet in it and save it. i like alot of riveted cymbals as long as it's not overkill.

 

the best part about the large zildjians is the crash sound for sure, nothing quite like it. just perfect.

Ah it's got a pretty large crack right i the middle of the cymbal it pretty much sounds dead.
:(
Like it's going along the lines on the cymbal, not going in the direction you would cut a pizza.

 

would that be a margarita or a marinara?
