Mist-x. Remember when you order. The cymbals can be custom made at no additional charge.

Diamonds are comparable, PJ, good call, although I would also say they have a touch of Zildjian K to them as well.
But you can't go wrong with Mist-X, Diamond, and you could also throw the Hybrid-X series in for thin cymbals.

thinks, i'm looking into buying a new set of cymbals, I was thinking sabians aax line. but since i use kind of an extensive cymbals setup (9 cymbals) i though i might try a full set up of saludas considering they have all the quality and half the price. If the diamond like has a bit of zildjian K-ness to it, that would probly make it a bit too dark for my liking
I'm looking for somethin
SHIMMERING
GLASSY
FULL
EXLPLOSIVE
think
Paiste signature
Sabian AAX, AAXplosion
Zildjian A custom

Saludas are inexpensive, not cheap. (Not angry here, just pointing out.) There's a BIG difference in those two words, LOL! Saludas are made in America, so there's no overseas import fees like Meinl or Paiste. Plus, it's a smaller company with low overhead, and there's no middle-man to mark the product up. You want a Saluda, you buy direct from Saluda, or DrumGearOnline, which is owned wholly by Saluda. You want a Zildjian, you buy from any drum store in America.
That's why Saluda is inexpensive.

I love my Saluda stuff I've gotten so far. I am using a 18" Mist-X medium weight, a 19" Mist X heavy, a 20" Diamond crash-ride, and a 19" Diamond China. I picked up an endorsement deal with them and am slowly phasing in they're gear when I have cash. The best cymbals you can get for the price range!!

Definitely getting some Mist-X hats soon.
Although I'm sure this has been asked before, how's the lifespan on these babies? I wouldn't exactly consider myself a heavy hitter, but I'm not gently caressing my cymbals, either....

By the looks of it, Kevins a powerful drummer so im sure he'll have something to say. As for my experience with em. I AM a hard hitter (with proper technique of course) and those babies last. I've had my earthworks crash for atleast 4 months now and nothing at all has happened to it. Its also in the rock weight so its super heavy and brittle and its held up like a champ!

anybody here play a medium thin dark diamond crash? i love medium thin cymbals (aaxplosion, sig full crash, both of which i own) and dark just adds to the beauty. id like to get one when i get back on my set full time...i dont plan on custom ordering because of the added cost but even so i think thats a good cymbal for me.

Im a hard hitter using 2B nylong tips. I've cracked 2 over a couple years. On the same note, I have 11 others that have held up just fine.
