Hey guys
Im a sr in high school
I made this account for this post.
I play in a jazz combo, (cocktail and corporate style) I also play in jazz band different pit orchestras for my and other schools
Lots of LIGHTLIGHT swing and latin, quiet and practical.
I told myself as I've upgraded from my metal Grestch energy 22” to my new Ludwig breakbeats, I didnt go for the more expensive catalina club because I wanted to have more money to spend on cymbals. (Im glad I went with the Ludwig)
My dillema regards my cymbal choice.
Dream Contact 22”
Medium thin A 18” 70s
New Beats 14” 60s
This is too bright yes?
Id like to upgrade.
Is it worth it? Or can I survive on the not jazz cymbals?
what are some recommendations if I like to buy mainly used?
what should I buy/replace first? or do u think i can sell the set and put the money into new things.
Shall I trade things or can somethings transition as i start to bring new cymbals in?
PS: RIGHT NOW I can put like like to put up to 300 into the upgrade (hopefully no more than 500 tho, but that means ill be next to broke) meaning the value of my current cymbals so feel free to say i should wait a little more
but like i said, being in highschool and all im really proud ive been able to finance my drum habit all by myself so it takes a little for me to get this much dough.
Aka pls dont judge my cheap choices. I just wanna be a crusty jazzcat when I grow up
Thank you for reading my novel
