Looking for some decent crash cymbals… Prefer 18". Prefer Zildjian or Sabian Prefer thin Both mine are broken right now, but i break them so frequently that I hate buying new ones… Let me know if you have anything! ---

Any cymbal that’s already cracked will only last me a week or two, because i hit them so hard. (and i have bad form)… Not interested in anything smaller than a 16. But LMK if you have anything! ---

god damn son stop playing so hard. I haven’t broken a cymbal in like 4 years… but I used to a lot, now I have all Zildjian A Customs and they seem to be pretty crack proof… they’ve been through like 75+ shows and no problems… only problem is they’re super fucking expensive unless you find a nice set used edit: and the “prefer thin” has just about everything to do with it… unless you’re a jazz musician I’ve found just about everyone frequently breaks them ---

Chances are you’re just not playing as hard as me… I called BDO yesterday, they only have used china hats (which are the stupidest cymbals ever… there is no reason for a china… ever) ---

WHAT!?!?!?!?!?! you got the retard or something? Buy some cheap sabian pro’s to practice with, they are tough as nails, then gig with zildjians. A customs are super thin and sound amazing, but I used to use z custom crashes because I figured I would break A custom crashes, but someone said they are tough, who knows how hard they play though. ---

I used to hate chinas SO MUCH, but now that I have played with them some they do serve their purposes of being a quick fill with their fast decay, but besides that i hardly ever play it ---
