Today at our school's pops concert, I set up all my own cymbals. In lieu of the Zildjian 18" ZHT fast crash that is normally our suspended cymbal, I put up my old 18" Zildjian that I got for forty bucks. It is much browner than the much-newer ZHT, and as such looks quite different from it. Another drummer in our section (who I could rant about for days) saw it and said this great line: "Eww, where did that come from? It's ugly! Quite loving my old cymbal, I was a bit offended, but oh well - some people just don't get it. In my opinion, my aged Zildjian is much more beautiful than a shiny ZHT, and if he thinks this cymbal is ugly, I'm guessing he'd throw up at the sight of my K Custom Dry Ride, what with its deep hammering and dark streaks: Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz in Copper Sparkle Zildjian, Dream, and Wuhan cymbals

Ha ... wonder what he would say about my cymbals of which many are unlathed ... . (Click the picture to view the original one) Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

I'm odd man out here. Have cymbals with a finish and I'm not even Finnish. However, I don't feel depraved because my cymbals are lathed. I can make them behave and come away unscathed. Mapex Saturn * Paiste Terry Bozzio Single-Ply Coated

Sad thing is that this guy wouldn't know the difference between a ZHT or a K or anything in terms of sound, material, quality, etc, at the very least. He's just...loud. I think that beautiful picture of the Poh-Bop is a winner! Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz in Copper Sparkle Zildjian, Dream, and Wuhan cymbals

I call these the chocolate milk of cymbals. Different color, different flavor, just as tasty . They look great guys.
