 Finally!
So..... finally I got my 3 new cymbals!!!
They are...
Saluda 21'' Mist X Heavy Dry Ride with Raw Bell, Cut from 22'' and a Heavy Black Mist Finish
Saluda 18'' Mist X Sweet Crash
Saluda 10'' Earthworks Flanger Bell (which is more of a cross between a china and splash)
I love them to death. Jamie couldn't do the 6'' Earthworks splash, so I just ordered an 8'' Symbolic Splash. It will have strips of raw and brilliant. The finish on the ride is actually darker, but it didn't show up well on the camera.

Yes, it does look amazing. It sounds even better. It is okay at crashing, just super, super loud! The bell is so loud it hurts my ears! It is heavier than most 21'' rides since it is cut from a 22''.

Cheerful, remember, you'll need to give your cymbals about 3-6 months of playing before the true sound sets in. You'll notice them getting a bit quieter and richer as they settle in to their true identities.

I know. I like all the sound just as they are now, but later, they'll sound even better! I have nothing against them right now.

Thanks, y'all!
The flanger bell is like a hi-hat but heavier.
