Im sure there is already a thread about this but i have limited internet access. Anyway i have been looking at several cymbals like the paiste thin traditional ride and the zildjian k constantinople rides and was wondering due to their weight how durable are they really? I ask because im really digging the sound and considering buying one but i dont wanna drop $400+ dollars on a cymbal that will break after 2 or three months of heavy use. My cymbals get used quite often and im in no way a basher but i do play my cymbals with a pretty average amount of force. Any replies will be much appreciated
