C'mon brothers and sisters, settle down. :roll: It's all about what YOU like. It's obvious that Zildjian and Sabian are similar to each other in some ways and different in other ways. The important thing is that whatever cymbal you choose to use has to be musical in every aspect of your playing and does not interupt whatever musical situation you're in. I've been in churches where they use Ave. Zildjian Medium Crashes and they are just peircing everyones ears in a worship situation. Not a good choice of weight for a church in my opinion. Then at another church that I've visited, the drummer was using Thinner Darker cymbals with some bright ones and they just flowed with the music beautifully.
All Cymbal Companies have good cymbals and junk cymbals. It's up to YOU to choose your weapon but at the same time, use a cymbal that flows with the music you play. If you play Rock, then you would use Med. Thin to Medium of Medium Heavy Crashes. If you're in Church, Thin to Med. thin should be the heaviest you should use. It doesn't matter the Company because we're not sponsored. Just my opinion.
