With my beginner pearl set ( red whine ) I am totally dissapointed with the cymbals. Even though I am a beginner, the sound just plane sucks, and after 5 months of playing a crack appeared in my 16" crashcymbal. Fixed it, 1 month later 2 more cracks appeared. The rest of the set is amazing though, as specially the hardware.
anyone try and improve the sound of their hi hats? got with a forum set, horrific, willing to hammer, smash, dent drill whatever it takes to make sound even decent, oddly the 18 crash/ride sounds pretty good
@Hassenix1 Its always nice to meet someone in the same boring situatuion lol, just this morning i went to my drumset and looked at the my recently boughth crash, a Zildjian Zplanet 16 inch crash, which was a bit expensive and it has lots of rusty marks on it, the default pearl cx200 hi hats got cracks all over just after playing foir like 3 weeks So is something wrong with me hiting the cymbals too hard or im i buying fake cymbals???? I just wish i could have a bigger drum set
I have a Pearl ride/crash,like the one in the video.I like it and I have every kind of cymbal,from B8,to B20.These were not "horrible cymbals" at all.They actually are much better sounding than most B8 cymbals' that I have heard.I don't think these were made by "Pearl",but were probably made by "Meinl" or "Paiste",some years' back.
@joaoa13portugal well , here in Venezuela isnt easy to find affordable quality cymbals neither and I need a crash ;I rather use the ride/crash as a ride although is pretty acceptable in both ways.... good luck... :D
Lucky you, my pearl came with 14 Hi Hats just like yours but the ride was an 18 inch and it must be the worst cymbal on the universe because i cant use it as a ride, nor a crash, and its not even close to sound like a China, it just sucks because the CX200 series has a cool ride/crash 18" like yours and i dont have it.... :( And here i have to wait weeks for Sabian, Zildjian or Paiste Cymbals to come from the US
@joaoa13portugal lol :D.well maybe you are tightening your cymbals too much to the holder...or you just have really bad luck..xD... zplanets dont seem to be a really good cymbal..they may be Zildijan but dont expect too much from them.. i recommend you to earn some money and buy a quality cymbal set..or just buy quality ones separately....good luck :D....
ughh got a used pdp set with these same cymbals... hate them. actually i got the hi hats for free cause the ones it came with were a mixed "14 inch set of Zildjian and Sabian. Anyway dont get these they are awful!
The worst cymbals ever made IMO PLANET Z's!i can't stand the sound of the crashes and hi hats the ride cymbal is ok my first set of cymbals I used as a drummer I switched to paiste 2002's and signatures never looked back
I love the versatility of both. The double cymbal ride on Almost Easy is performed perfectly if you use the bell of each of these.
Believe me, This time its not the Microphone, it's the cymbals :\

because these are beginner-cymbals you may get by buying a pearl beginner-set. of course, others are better

Sabian was involved
