  • sounds great. what stand is that? looks heavy duty

  • @CommanderDaz i think its the pearl 1000 series, not the top one but its double braced and has a unilock tilter

  • does it make a difference in the life expectancy of the cymbal which way you have it positioned? the right side up or bottom? Which one makes it last longer?? Awesome zoom q3 by the way! I love mine. :)

  • @shockwave2468 it depends. Most people who have their chinese cymbals the right way up (un-inverted) would be using said cymbal for jazz or lighter playing styles, if only to save breaking sticks on the flange. In this case having it un-inverted would mean it would last a lot longer as it wouldn't be being hit very hard. However, this particular chinese cymbal is made for loud accents. If played carefully, un-inverted would still offer better durability (due to it hanging under the bell) but

  • @shockwave2468 [cont. from under the bell) but, you would break a load more sticks! So, this cymbal would be better to play inverted, simply to save sticks. If you use it as a loud, agressive cymbal inverted you would still be putting alot of pressure on the flange, but not as much as if it were un-inverted. You would also, when inverted, be putting a lot of pressure on the bell as the weight is hanging above it. either way, if you use correct technique it will last for ages!
