 Worst cymbal ever?
what was the worst cymbal you've ever played?
you know, a cymbal that just sounds like poop
for me, it'd have to be the 14 inch crash that came free with my Meinl MCS set
now i know why it came free =X

16" A Zildjian Thin Crash. It rang like a gong forever.
I picked up a 16" Thin, 18" Thin 18" Medium Sabian B8 pro crashes a few years ago that had the zildjian beat. Thats how bad it was. Bought those for 70 dollars. Sold them for 70 each.

Any cymbals that come free w/ starter and interidiate sets (esp. the hi hats)
I've playes Tama brand crash/ ride/ and hats w/ NO voice at all. Might as well have been trash can lids
But nothing has ever sounded worst than the peices of garbage that came with my Groove Percussion. 14 hats and 16 crash. They horrible with no tone at all. The crash sounded like crap and just "crashed" and died right after with no ring or decay. I was so glad to get my ZBTs after playing on those for a year

PDP EZ cymbals. Worst pieces of crap I've ever played. You might as well use trash can lids.

Cymbals that come with really cheap starter kits, they have gotta be the worst, but then you expect them to be. The hi hats turn inside out when you hit them hard lol.
The first 'proper' cymbals i got were the Sabian Solars, awful things, crash was definetly the worst.

I have a Sabian Solar 16" crash, it is so lifeless that I actually use it as a ride!
Total crap.

really...
people should be talking about decent crappy sounding cymbals.
of course 'pearl' and other beginner cymbals are going to sound like ass.
with that being said... the Z mega-bell ride is terrible for anything other than bell work.

Yeah, I'm gonna exclude ay beginner cymbals that arent really cymbals. if they came with your $300 revere set, they dont count as cymbals. I'm gonna have to go with these old zildjian hihats my fried has. they are SOO thick and they dont sound good open or closed. I'v never seen old avedis hats that didnt sound good but these sound TERRIBLE

yeah, I guess REAL cymbals are more relative. haha. Sabian B8's I dont like and lots of Paistes I don't like either. Well, I'm sure I'll make an enemy or two with this one but I'm sorry, it's my honest opinion. I play Paiste RUDE's on my friends set (he has a grip of them on his bohemoth of a set. haha) and I just do not care for them at all

If we're talking not no-name brands, I would have to say either the Zildjian ZBT hats or ride. The hats felt heavy and akward, and their articulation just got on my nerves. As for the ride, it was way to ringy, and the bell wasn't pronounced enough to sound proper. I love some of Zildjian's higher ends, but I would choose B8s or PST5s over ZBTs anyday.
