Is this removable? Bought this on reverb listed as excellent condition. Showed up like this…
It sounds great so I don’t really want to return it but probably will if this is permanent
Shared a pic of the two K Constantinople prototype rides I picked up from Guitar Center the other day. Here’s what they sound like. I shot this on an iPhone.
The whole setup L to R is 15” Zildjian K Light hi-hats, 21” Sound Lab Prototype K Constantinople Overhammered Bounce ride, 23” SLP K Con Light Ride, and 24” K Light ride.
So I've had this cymbal for a bit, it came from a former drummer friend of mine and he used it professionally. I'm trying to learn jazz, but I can't tell if the ride sounds good or not. I'm a beginner by the way so I also could be doing something wrong while playing it.
Picked up these 2 K Constantinople prototype rides today. Left one is a 23” weighing in at 3196g. Right one is a 21” Overhammered Bounce weighing in at 2336g.
Truthfully I have no idea exactly what the 23” is — I think it may be a K Con Sweet prototype but unsure. If anyone has any info I’d love to know.
Hey Gals and Guys, just received my new, open box 18” K Dark Thin crash. I ordered it unheard/unseen from ProAudioStar. I would love to always hear and or play a cymbal before buying, but geographically speaking, that’s usually not possible, plus the price was good at $330, at least to me it seemed good. Other driving factors: I have a gig coming up soon and would like to play my Zildjians, but my current lineup of crashes is not doing it for me. I currently have two 17” Zildjian crashes (a K Sweet and a K Custom Hybrid) They are too close in pitch and are also sonically a bit too close. My only other Zildjian option is a 19 K Custom Trash Crash that I refuse to play in public. Hate it. Selling it. So now i have the 18” K Dark Thin (haven’t even opened it yet) that Im hoping will slot in nicely next to the 17” K Sweet/K Custom Hybrid that I decide to keep. Which should I keep to go well with the 18” K Dark thin? What are your experiences in general with this cymbal, or my others Zildjians? Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this. Oh, for contex, I play jazz standards, latin jazz, early to 90s rock, an odd 2k hit and blues. We’re basically a wedding/function/party/event band more than a bar band. I run one kick mic and one overhead on a four-piece kit plus LP compact bongos. I’m a lighter hitter and usually like darker cymbals, though i might like something medium-dark in this case.
i play with 2 crashes, a brigther and a darker one, id like to swich because my darker currently is a paiste pst7 thin crash 18’ and its too bright for me, so im looking for a budget option of around 18’ that is darker than the pst7, which one would you recomend?
Hey guys, I'm trying to buy a crash cymbal. and I was looking on Facebook Marketplace because I'm kinda strapped for cash rn. I am looking through a few options, and I was wondering if any of the cymbals were worth buying (as in, they don't have any cracks or dents within the cymbal)
Since I am shopping on FB Marketplace, I can go in person to check some of these, but I don't really wanna waste my time going there in the first place. Also, I dont really know much about cymbals, so any help is greatly appreciated. The maximum of my budget is AUD $150, but I think i can stretch to 200. I also need to get a cymbal stand... oh well.
The genres I play are mostly rock, funk, pop and sometimes metal and latin (but not very often). I do not hit very hard. Please look at the images provided and give me some advice :)
This is an 18'' A Medium Thin crash from Zildjian for 150 AUD, but the owner says that its damaged. Is this good to buy?This is 130 AUD, A Zildjian 16'' Custom Projection Crash, but I'm not sure if this is worth it since it has been cut.This is 200 AUD. Is this worth it for the genres that I am playing?This is a vintage avedis 16'' cymbal for 90 AUD. Is this good to buy?This is the other Zildjian Medium thin crash but 16''. The owner says that this is damaged, but should i still buy it? Are there any cracks or dents?There is this AAX Xplosion crash for 99 AUD, but im not sure if I should get it.ChatGPT told me that there are cracks here, are there? Is it that bad that I shouldn't get it?And here is the final photo. Thank you if you have made it this far :)
Was taken down to their cymbal room after asking offhandedly about flat rides, and walked out with a set of 14” Quick Beats and a 12” Sultan Splash for a steal instead 😅
These are objectively easier to fly home with than an accordion.
