Has anyone ever heard of, or seen a larger cymbal? Joined Dec 15, Messages 6, Reaction score 1, I could never ever hit a 30" cymbal for fear of breaking it. Not that I think it's more likely to, just that the cost of doing so would kill me.
Are these catalog sizes, or special orders? I know that Paiste once offered cymbals from 10" to 28" in the s in their catalog, and don't know exactly when that stopped, but know that they didn't offer any cymbal above 24" from at least the mid to late s to the present.
Steve Hubback forged a 1 meter cymbal about 40". Later, Matt. Greetings Everyone, I have a 30 inch Zildjian A. Thumper Very well Known Member. I think that UFIP also made a large ride cymbal for displayed with the world's largest drumset but I forgot about the size.

Sabian did some big'guns for dealers to display, my old boss said he saw a 32" but I never have. Zeb Very well Known Member. But that much bronze has gotta cost some pretty serious money. I wouldn't have any place to put it, even if someone gave me one. Joined Jan 19, Messages Reaction score I got the cymbal today You must log in or register to reply here. Similar threads.

Cymbals with flatter profiles have a lower fundamental tone and mellow response, while cymbals with a more pronounced curve have a higher fundamental note with a faster attack. Cymbals that are thinner at their edges will be more crashable, and have a faster response than cymbals with thicker edges.
The edge of a cymbal is the most delicate, so proper playing technique should always be observed to avoid cracks. These three parts of a cymbal and their shapes play a major role in determining its sound, but size is also a major contributing factor. Heavier, thicker cymbals have a higher pitch a good way to remember this is to associate high mass with high pitch and project more than thinner, lighter cymbals.
The thickness of most cymbals is tapered from the bell to the edge of the cymbal, though some Chinese and effects cymbals have little to no taper, resulting in a trashy and gong-like tone. Cymbals with a larger diameter have a lower pitch and greater amount of projection than a smaller cymbal of a similar weight.
The next time you shop for a cymbal, take extra notice of how its physical properties are influencing its sound. In previous posts, drums specialist Paul Spencer discusses the alloys that go into making cymbals and the differences between cast and sheet metal cymbals.
