cymbal recommendations?

[TrueBeliever]

I recently destroyed my old zbt crash and I haven't used my A custom crash for a while because its missing a chunk. As far as crashes go (cause my splashes are all apparently indestructable) my z custom is the only one that's held up, and I need another one or two, but wanted a different sound (id est not just another z custom). I'm not that familiar with paiste or sabien, so you know of any others that are similarily durable...

You could be like my drummer and just keep using them until there's nothing left.

I probably will, it'll be a while until I have the money for a new one. But at the moment its sustain is gone. And the other day I got my stick stuck in one of the cracks. If I can find my digital camera I'll post a picture of a few of my dead cymbals.

I use Sabians personally. I have a Medium-Heavy AA Crash thats lasted like 3 years, probably my most durable cymbal.

Yea that is pretty bad. I remember this one cymbal I use to have- slowly cracked all the way up the the bell, and then one day, I hit it and the fucking bell reversed itself with a loud snapping noise.

Ha, I still have the crash that came with my worthless first drum set. It sounded godawful until my brother and I readjusted it....


...with a hammer. If I can find a way to put it on a cymbal stand again I'll probably start using it as a china.

I'll have to find a picture or a camera...

yeh, those cheap crappy cymbals arent totally useless for a kinda trashy china type sound, but they definately suck as crashes heh.

Yeah, and it sounds like shit as well. My drummer would rather spend his money on dumb crap than replace even one of his cymbals.

Yeah the AA series has beautiful sound and durability, if you know half of what you're doing they'll last you more than long enough

Edit: The china and crash are really nice in that one. My drummer bought a zildijan(sp?) starter pack, and then bought the AA crash and china cause they make death metal fans jiz their pants.
