What is this cymbal?
Hey all,
Here's a cymbal I got recently. It's B20 14" (more or less) Weight is about 1010 grams and there's a grommet in the center hole. It also has rivet holes. This was purchased from the UK. There are no stamps on the cymbal and it's a little off balance. It leans heavily to one side while on the stand. It sounds great for a cymbal of this weight. Very dark, mellow. Any idea what it might be? Thanks in advance for any information. |

Re: What is this cymbal?
That's hi-hat/marching weight for sure. Those rivet holes are endearingly and haphazardly DIY.
What are you using it for? Probably too heavy for a true crash. Might be a cool effect cymbal if you put a few rivets in it, or a cool bottom hi-hat (with or without rivets). If it's slightly over/under 14", so much the better. Eliminates air-lock because it's slightly smaller/larger than the cymbal it's paired with, so more air can escape where the cymbals "don't meet". |
