Hey guys, I sort of recently bought this cymbal with about the longest name I've ever seen. It's the 22" Zildjian K Constantinople Medium Thin High Ride. If that's not a mouth full, I don't know what is. The purpose of this thread is just for fun, but I'm wondering, do you have any weird cymbals? Anything with a weird or long name or shape or anything? If so, what do you think about em? I'm trying to find a collection of the most different, random cymbals. Also, I just wanted to gloat over my new cymbal. Loading...

The most odd cymbal I have (is not that odd) is a hand hammered Chinaboy. It is a nice sounding china. More of a snare drum man myself "The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously" -Hubert H Humphrey

I have the Holy China. That's just the best name in the world and it's the most obnoxious china in the world. "Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple." -Charles Mingus

Weird cymbals? Hmmmm..... I have a 1970's vintage hollow logo 21" rock ride that is really unlike any other ride I've ever played. I purchased it used back in the 80's. It's very loud, is full of thunderous overtones, rings forever and is actually quite "crashable."

The K Constantinople (insert rest of name here) is the thinnest ride I've ever seen! You hit this thing, and it just wobbles everywhere. It's heavily hammered and sounds SUPER washy and kind of deep. It's really crashable but it's really best suited for low volume stuff. I have two rivets in it right now too so it just sizzles FOREVER Loading...
