Everything Zildjian

New 15" Rib Hat from the Concept Shop.

Paired it with a K Custom Special Dry bottom.

Nice! With that shell bank and cymbal collection you have there Josh, you must have endless amounts of kit configurations!

It's basically what I've been aiming for over the past few years. Realizing I'll never be a famous/touring/professional drummer has made it easy to focus on work and gives me the financial freedom to spend some cash on my very expensive hobby. But hey, it's not like I collect cars or... you know, something ELSE really expensive. Haha!

Just added this gem to my 21" Zildjian ride cymbal family. Weighing in at 2240 grams, this ride screams vintage from sound to patina finish. Look forward to swinging on this ride!

Nice collection of 21's!

These 12” Zildjian K Sound Lab prototype hats came in.

They were made for, and signed (with two messages) by Dennis Chambers.

By coincidence they match my other (15”, 20”, and 24”) K Sound Lab prototypes exactly. That was the reason why I bought them, as I don’t really care about artists items (but the legend played them and his messages are a cool addition :-D).

I will use these as aux hats in the setup as soon as my mounting parts come in.

Damn! I've been following these on the bay for quite some time now. They were just a little out of my price range...

From what I remember of their description, they are both a little hefty in weight for their size. Dennis has been know to use two Mastersound BOTTOMS as an articulate set of hi hats. I thought they were a good looking set I'd like to mix-up and pair with my 12" ReMix series hi hats (which btw, would be a perfect compliment to your current set up).

I really enjoy this line of cymbals. I have the 22" ride and the 16" hi hats and I'd love to snag the 20" and 21" cymbals as well.

I followed them a few weeks myself and after mailing back and forth we got to a price agreement. Still ended up too kuch for what I wanted to pay adter the taxes and inport fees were added, but what is happened, happened.


They are quite light in playing, especially opened (maybe even a little bit too light and maybe that was the reason he didn’t kept them?).

But as they have a proper body and I will use them as closed hats anyway, they will do more than fine. And as they are K prototype’s with the same round hammering, they match up better than anything else out there.

I am glad my prototype set is almost finished. A nice 16” and/or 18” would be nice too.

I wrestled with buying this for a few months. Absolutely beautiful example, but priced higher than I'm willing to pay (I'm sure it was worth the price, it's just wasn't my price)

[Josh Conover]

Oh wow! You don't come across a ton of the Earth rides with the brilliant finish. Nice score!

I had one made... it was the most unmusical instrument I ever owned. Luckily I sold it at a profit All of my Zildjian rides were likely made from a very similar starting point of where the Earth Ride ends... but then they are refined. The refinements are well worth it. Right now, I'm playing a Z Custom Power Ride, that has such a pleasing tone and a killer bell.

[Josh Conover]

Very cool. Was this back when Zildjian still offered the brilliant finish as an option on their traditional cymbals? I remember that being a thing when I purchased my first serious set of hi hats. They were the A series Mastersounds and I ordered them through Interstate in the brilliant finish.

Most recently I picked up the new Trap Hats from Zildjian's Concept Shop. They are made of whatever alloy is used in their ZHT and I Family cymbals. They were only $150 new straight from Zildjian. I don't really mess around with these other alloys too much with the exception of the Trashformers, Spiral Trash, and the FX Stackers. Excited to see how they work with my other 14" hi hat tops and bottoms.
