On my 22 K dark medium Ride...for some reason..it always fall at the same angle..no matter wat stand i use. for example...if i try to put the K on the cymbal to face me..it will spin into the other side..and that's the only place that i cna play because any other place..it sill spin back to that place..i think is heavier on that side..but i never knew that cymbals had different wieghts in opposite sides? has this happened to any one?

I can't say it happens to me specifically, but I don't see why it wouldn't happen. Firstly a K, with I'm guessing some hand hammering etc. And then, I guess it would only take a handfull of grams extra on one half to do this.

My 24" K Light is lopsided as well. I wouldn't worry about it. It happens.

Most cymbals, especially heavier ones, have one side that is heavier than the other. Don't worry about it.

My Paiste 2002's do the same thing. Always seems they spin so that where I strike them will be right on the logo. My hats do it too.

my A custom 18'' crash spins the same way, also my A custom 18'' china tilts in one direction all the time...

It happens. Look at the hole in the center of the cymbal, it may not be completely dead center, or there may be key-holing which can contribute to the 'lopsided effect'.
