I have recently cracked my beloved 18" K dark thin crash and it's ages out of warranty so I'm getting that, and an old A custom, reduced in size (to get rid of the cracks) by a professional cymbal repairer (I'm also having the A custom cut into an O-zone type crash but that's another story).
Anyway so whilst they're away getting sorted I need something new to gig with.
I want something dark, either an 18 or 19", but with a bit more body than the K dark thin.
Also it has to blend with or sound simmilar to my 19" sabian artisan crash (best sounding crash ever!) http://www.sabian.com/en/cymbal/a1906-19-inch-vault-artisan-crash
I absolutely love the Sabian it's honestly the perfect crash, so if I can get anything that sounds anywhere NEAR that then I'll be pretty happy.
I've recently been turned on to Istanbul Agop as I got some of their hats real cheap (£75) so was wondering if any of their range fit the bill?
Or feel free to suggest any from sabian/ zildjian.
The reason I'm not going for another K dark thin is;
a) I will have a 17" k dark thin pretty soon once the 18 is repaired
b) The main venue I play in is a 3000 capacity large room and it was 'too thin' sounding and seemed to sound a bit empty/ lacking body for this situation- the artisan sounds amazing in the bigger room (and any other room for that matter ha!)
Anyway let's hear your suggestions
