Update: USPS scales weighed this cymbal at 3 pounds & 5.7 ounces, which converts to about 1522 grams, according to onlineconversion.com.
I am selling an almost brand new 19" Zildjian K Dark Thin Crash Ride. It's part of the Zildjian Rarities program for 2011. I bought it this past December 28th at Memphis Drum Shop for $305 + tax (and had to drive 2 hours to get there...and gas isn't cheap these days). Violin I don't know what the deal is, I guess their cymbal vault makes cymbals more lively, but after I got it home and played it at a couple different venues, I realized it is too dry for my taste/style of music. It has a nice loud, low-pitched bark, but it decays very quickly. As a ride, it has a defined, yet dry stick definition. It's a great cymbal, but I can't jusitify hanging on to something I won't be able to play. I play in a blues/rock band and in a praise and worship band and it just doesn't blend well with those styles, it's just too dry. It fits well with one jazzy song that my blues/rock band plays and that's just not enough to keep it around for. My wife says if I want any more vintage gear, something has to go to pay for it. So, here's your chance to save about $50-60.
If anyone is interested, I'd like to get $265 shipped. I used to be the shipping guy at a big music store in Jackson, MS, so I'll pack it very well for you.
Thanks for looking!
