Yes, excellent point. But being on the other side of the world presents little threat. But I get it.

Hey PorkPieGuy, Never thought of that as an option. Will check it out.

I have a softcase bag with wheels for my chrome stuff, but finding it awkward to handle. I am looking at the HardCase range (40" with wheels), and they seem pretty good at a glance. Any comments on this line of products, or a better alternative.

I play in a covers band, and the drummer I am "covering" occasionally uses a china/trash. As we are trying hard to get as close as possible to the original sounds, I would be using it sparingly, but it does play a small part.

Very informative iCe - thanks

A variety of opinions (to be expected!). If I was to get one, the Zildjian 18" Oriental Trash, or the Zildjian 18" China High have the most appealing sound to me.

The advantage of a spray is that you dont have to worry about the grooves, but I feel an ink is the better medium, as it does not apply as much material, which many say can change the sound.

Well with a video like that, I cant see how they could get any business anyway. No details at all. Weird!

Interesting. They show the before and after, but not HOW its done !!!!!!

I believe isopropyl alcohol is the best cleaner for a metal surface. A few people have said that you need an etch primer that is supposed to bond to the metal surface. If that is the case then theoretically the finish paint itself does not even have to be suited to metal, as it is adhering to...

Thanks. What style of music do you play?

Good job. I presume with a laser, the head would be less than other alternatives, so less chance of warping or cracking.

I am always on the lookout for cymbals to add to my lineup. When I hear the sound of the China models, I wonder why they would be incorporated into a kit setup. Yet companies like Zildjian make a few different sizes and models. Anybody use them?

Many thanks. Being in Australia makes the shipping requirement cost prohibitive. But I have emailed the company to see if they can give me some guidelines on the type of ink they use.

Not wishing to enter into the debate on whether to keep or remove logos. Just interested in any experiences with restoring logos. Technique, paint brand, ink brand?

Re-evaluate for better, or worse?

If you have an iPhone, download the app "iDrumTune Pro". So easy to use and backed by science. I have never heard any kit I have ever owned sound so good since tuning it according to this app. Has free tutorials explaining all the methods and the theory behind them. Response from the author (a...

Barkeepers Friend. Works a treat. I have used the powdered version.

I just procured a Zildjian A 20" Crash/Ride, and love it. If Zildjian specifically market a Crash/Ride model, tha'ts good enough for me. And comparing it to a crash you can ride, or a ride you can crash, it is superior in its characteristics.
