Worst... kinda hard... I had a 16in zbt crash, but that sounded nice, but that sounded pretty good, I've never had a really "bad sounding" cymbal. My best.... Wuhan 18in china and zildjian a custom 16in crash

My worst was the first act cymbals.
My best is probably my Sabian Hand Hammered Vintage Ride.

The worst, probably a second hand Pearl 20" ride cymbal which I had before. Best...umm... i haven't really had that many cymbals, but it'd be my Paiste PST5 16" thin crash.

I knew someone with a Pearl 20" that actually sounded rather nice!
I'm currently looking at some of the Dream crashes as a way of expanding my current set up - with the intention of having around 6/7 crashes. |

Worst? Probably the Sabion Pro Sonic Hi-hats that my dad got for me (he usually has better taste).
Best?
Zildjian A Custom 14" Crash (better example of my dad's taste). This cymbal does EVERYTHING well. Basically, it's my ultimate cymbal, and ended up being the center piece (along with a 20" A custom ping ride and 13" A custom projection hats.) of a full A custom set up.

my crash and hi-hats that came with my tama kit sound worse than first act. the ride is okay.
i just bought a wuhan 18" china for $20 since i've noticed how much every1 likes it. it's on stupid deal of the day on musician's friend, and i had a 20% off coupon.

best: can't decide between these two, a 20" k custom crash or my 21" paiste signiture ride that i use as a crash. both are amazing.
worst: a scimitar 18" crash. that thing was bad. |

Worst- mid '60's Zildjian 18" crash/ride. It did neither well. It's ride was so washy and the crash sounded like a gongy pieplate. I wish I still had it, though. It makes me smile now.
Best- Paiste 602 blue label 20" medium ride. |
