Hey guys, long time reader, first time poster!
Basically I've only got serious about drumming in the last year or so since I joined a band that have been gigging a lot and I'm looking to expand my kit with a few new cymbals off Thomann. I've currently got a pretty standard setup;
14" ZBT Hats
17" Meinl Classic Power Crash
20" ZBT Ride
What I'm ordering is a 15" Paiste 2002 Classic Crash as I'm sure it will be a nice contrast with my current crash and some form of 18" crash/ride.
I'm looking for something which I can ride off in the heavy chorus' in my band but which also acts as a nice crash when needed, maybe with a lower definition than the other two current cymbals?
I've mainly been considering the Meinl 18" Klub Crash/Ride

Or else the 18" Zildjian K Series Crash/Ride. Anyone got any experience or opinions on either of these? Also I've been told that a decent idea might be to get a thin 18" crash and use that to ride on?
Basically if anyone has any thoughts or feedback on either of these cymbals or other ones you could suggest it would be very much appreciated, I'm dying to buy these now but I don't wanna hand over 500 bills on something not useful!
