a match for less trashy Ks?

[lovemysonors]

I've got two 18" crashes: Zildjian K med-thin and thin. I love them, but they're a bit too trashy. I mostly like how dark they are.

what would an equally dark, but less trashy cymbal be to these??

[moe.ron]

possibly paiste new signatures those are some serious beauties right there. or maybe k customs from zildjian

Bosphorus! They rule! Old Zildjian A's are also cool.

Amen to that brother. I've got a 16" traditional medium and i'm looking at an 18" medium thin traditional to add. Nice!!

For example. Also Istanbul would be a brand which you should check out, Mehmets and Agops.

But my real favourite in this case would be the Sabian AAX Dark Crash or Studio Crash. Great sound, pretty dark and not very trashy. haha, check it out, maybe you will like it.

just my 0.00001$...

thanks Karl. i've actually got an 18" Istanbul Mehmet paperthin crash and it is super trashy. i love it with the K but both are a bit too trashy for one of my bands. any other suggestions? cheers

Yeah, I know what you mean. It is very hard to find some dark AND clean sounding (non-trashy) cymbals in the Istanbul and Bosphorus stock...in my opinion.
At least almost all of those Istanbul and Bosphorus cymbals are hand-hammered which makes them very unique sounding...

Maybe you wanna check out some AAX. Don`t know if you like their sound...

You could listen to them on www.sabian.com/english/Webmayhem/soundcheck.cfm to get a roughimpression of them...

*cheers back*,
