Help me identify this zildjian crash

[drums32]

hey, i was wondering what kind of zildjian crash this is i know its a medium thin 16 inch zildjian crash but i would like to know what series/model it is... thanks

It's a Zildjian A medium thin crash. The one on the pic was made before 1994 though. If you can snag it for cheap then go ahead, I like my 18" and I'm sure the 16" is just as good sounding.

Then the seller doesn't know nothing about his crash.

It's hard to say because I picked mine for a "BIG" 40$. lol


If it's in decent condition, I would go to offer up to 60$ cdn max ( mostly because of it age and it seem to have light keyhole ) but I aint you.

It appears keyholed.

Before I answer anything, the cymbals are only worth what YOU want to pay for them. That said...

The Zildjian is a great pie. I love my 18" version. There do appear to be some problems around the hole, though, either keyholing or cracking. If it is the former, I'd be hard pressed to offer more than about $50 for it. If it's the latter, well, $30 might be the right ballpark.

The Sabians... well, it's hard to say. The crash is probably worth $60 or so if it's in good shape (no keyholing or cracks), and the hats are probably around $100 or so.

Of course, if you need them, they might be worth more to you. That's about the max I would pay for them if I needed older cymbals.

EDIT: I missed that the Sabian was an 18 incher. I'd probably go as high as $80, in that case.

thanks i have b8s and the hats suck and the 16 inch thin crash isnt that great but i think those aa hats would last longer than the aa crash....
