I'm also looking for a light ride, mabye a jazz ride, a dark smallish (around 16") crash, and a bigger (18") thinner crash.

What is generally recommended in terms of brand and model?

Forgot to mention! I'm on a very tight budget, thanks

i suppose ufip can be really expensive, but consider it and save a little more money! do some research on ufip, there is a lot more these cymbals than there sound!

I have to agree with Jazzy_J. Armand Zildjian made Zildjian the world leader in cymbal production, working with Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa, and a whole bunch of other people. That started way back in the 1920's.

They were pretty thin in those days though apparently. Certainly made in a different manner to the way they are today.

Not too sure about reporting him though - thats a little harsh. It's surely not a crime to be wrong, or offer an opposing opinion...
