Phil, would they sound much different? Thanks


-Ant-

Seeing as they're "hand" hammered. Yes.

Ok, thanks


-Ant-

That and ones thin and ones medium thin.

Cheers lol. I thought so, but I have sh!t eyesight. Anyway, you think they should sound good? I listened to Zildjian's clips (I know I hate them) and I liked them. I'm just looking for a deal on a crash 17" + atm lol


-Ant-

All opinion but yes.

Im more a K Custom man myself though.

Yeh, I havn't seen anything yet, I might wait until friday (payday :p) So I can splash out a little more!


-Ant-

Bril, ok thanks bud

Actually, this is also cheap. (The A Custom Cymbals are out of stock usually) But they're real cheap!

If you go to [url]http://www.newcastledrum.com[/url] you can phone them and order the cymbal for the price i posted plus delivery.

They'll also beat any other price.

Do they beat the "german" price? I think I emailed them though and got no reply


-Ant-

Ok ,

Thanks for that..... Ill try and bargain my music store down to the lowest price i can find on the net (plus postage)... if not ill use one of the suggested sites....

Hopefully going to try a few cymbals out tomorrow

CJ

Cool, hope you find what you want!

No. But i wouldnt order cymbals from there anyway.

The monkeys at customs ignore "fragile" labels and are likely to break them.

Good job they packaged my roadpro good then!

Ok so at the moment I have Paiste 101 hats, crash and ride with a stambul vintage paiste 16" crash. Now the stambul doesnt sound particularly amazing so I wanna get a new crash for my birthday.

Im getting drum bags already, so it cant be a really high priced cymbal. We might be looking at £50 Im not sure. So its not gonna be zildjian lol!

edit: I play rock if that helps at all. Cheers

You aint gonna get anything decent for that. Best to just save the cash.

I would say sav up. Would you get some money for your birthday (from relatives etc?)? If so use that, and ask your parent(s) to help with the rest? Then get a decent cymbal. A Customs, K's K Customs are the Zildjians I would look at. Also try other lines Sabian, paiste etc. However. Hi-hats and Ride maybe more important


-Ant-

Well I have money at the moment. And if I dont get anything else for my birthday then I will have a decent amount of cash lol.

So what would you recommend to me then? The average high school drummer in a rock band that is about to be doing lots of shows-who is already over protective of his low end paistes lol!

I would go pro if you're serious about drumming.

If you can afford it, why go lower?

I am serious. I just dont have the money.

What do you do? Job-wise? and how much does it pay?

Cos I do a paper round which gets me £10 a week.

You have already bought **** cymbals, why buy more **** ones?


-Ant-

Im currently a dole rat.

I get £45 a week and havent bought any major drum gear for a while.

I used to be in a band that made a bit of money and i was a club DJ so that payed for some of my gear.

I work at a window place and earn £150 on average. I have to pay rent, driving lessons, drum lessons and other stuff. You must be at school, start saving wil you can. Look for deals on ebay.


-Ant-

I cant save if I need to fork out £100 for cymbals lol!

I know, my cymbals at the mo are ****, but they are ok for the moment.

I could sell my 2 crashes and get one. But I like having 2 lol

Well if you aren't going to take on board the advice, dont bother posting lol. Why cant you get another job on the weekend? I had a kitchen job which pulled in £30 for a day or two


-Ant-

I am taking in the advice, Im not gonna get a shitty cymbal for my birthday lol!

Im just gonna ask for money.

And Im going to look for another job... but where I live is a bit crap for jobs lol

An 18" sabian aaxplosion will set you back £122. They are amazing for rock and metal
