My son is 10 and been in drum lessons about 2 years and I just got him a set of Acoustic drums (started on electric). They didn't come with cymbals. I bought a ride and hi hat from this set of cymbals for a good deal.
Parish Heritage and they sound great but are super dark and would like to get a different crash. And something in the $150-250 range. His favorite music is Fleet Foxes Helplessness blues album thanks to my wife. I feel like I should go a tad brighter but still match the tone of the ride and hi-hats enough because I tried the Heritage cymbal and to me it sounded way too close to the ride and I didn't love it. Mainly I want something to fit more into the music he is trying to play. Here is a video of them to hear what they sound like
Any suggestions of what crash cymbal to go with that would sound like that dude?
Stuff I have seen used around town that people are selling
Zildjain K Med thin Dark 18 inch for $230
Meinl 18 inch byzance dark crash $200
Meinl 16 in Byzance Dark Crash $200
But if there is something else I could order that is fine, I just want to get something close to the sound so he can play along and hopefully keep loving the drums because he seems really great for a 10 year old but I don't know much about drums. Any advice would help. Thanks!
