What is a good crash/ride or crash cymbal?
Now i have a zildjian planet z crash/ride that i play steady 8th notes on and seldomly crash but it feels too thick and im not liking it that much...Im in a band and we play punk/pop/sometimes heavy kinda like All Time Low and Four Year Strong, what is a good cymbal whether it'd be crash or crash/ride to do steady 8ths but still be able to single crash. Thanks!!
You probably heard of Turkish handmade cymbals. Turkey especially Istanbul is where the traditional cymbal making started centuries ago. After some of these old masters moved out and started producing cymbals, few masters still continue the old traditional methods still in Turkey. We carry their cymbals and have a stock of more than 1,000 cymbals, where you can see, hear them at your place with no risk.
Coming back to your question here are what we think would suit the 8th note and crash condition:
