cymbal frustration

zildjian is great

Zildjian Z series cymbals are heavy duty. They are expensive so I'd recommend buying one good one at a time.

i recently purchased a second hand premier pk kit with paiste 2002 hats various ,crap zildjian and paiste cymbals (3 crash and 1 ride) for 325 pounds. Now, three months later , the only thing left is the ride(which i HATE anyway) so i am going to buy a new set of cymbals. i was just wondering if anyone could suggest some good cymbals that will complement my kit (i like to play heavy rock like korn and limp bizkit). i was thinking A Zildjian but i dont have much money and i dont have much experience with cymbals ........i,m used to hitting roughly circular heaps of metal.

I would have to agree with your replies... Zildjian is probably your best bet. I'm not familiar with the prices where you're at, but here in the States, with a little searching (discount houses, used equipment shops, classifieds) various series of Zildjians (new and used) can be found for a song... I'm assuming you may be looking for something in a 'heavy' with a longer decay... I don't know if it's the same where you're located, but when I was starting out and looking for economical cymbals, UFIP was trying to move into the rock genre and could be had for CHEAP! They didn't compare to the Paiste Signatures I have now, but they weren't bad... heavy, unfortunately not too bright, deeper sound and long decay. As a matter a fact, those in the 18' to 22' were labled as 'combo' cymbals... ride or crash. You want to p

You could go for Paiste Rude cymbals... which are heavy-duty.

Or you could Try Sabians AAX 'Metal' Series or AA 'Heavy' series cymbals. Both very heavy-duty.

Definately 'rudes'....the business if you want something that will last...

They are far harder wearing than any Zildjian

I knopw exactly what u mean. If u are wanting to play heavry rock stuff, i would recomend either Paiste RUDE stuff, really nice, bit pricey though. OR Zidjian A custom stuff (and the Zidjian Z Megabell ride!) They last ages, and hold their shape and sound... That what i would recomend anyway.....

LOL ''

That is why people break'e them .They hit so hard .Come to pieces .

That is why i like the old zildjian's

They don't break so eazy !..One thing

Only depends on the person that sit's behind the kit
