Question:

Can you tell me how much will a zildjian or sabian or paiste crash cymbal cost me along with a stand??


Answers:

The cheapest crash cymbal you can find from these makers will cost as little as $30 or less. The most expensive could be up to $300 or more for a unique cymbal like Sabian's O-Zone crash.

That's a difference of 10 times. The main factor affecting the price will be the cymbal line you choose (i.e. Zildjian A's vs. Zildjian ZBT's / Sabian HH vs. Sabian Solar Brass / Paiste 2002 vs 101). The better (and most expensive) lines are made from B20 bronze and are cast and hammered (sometimes by hand), The cheapest cymbals are made form B8 Bronze or Brass and are often stamped from sheet metal. Then there is a whole array of selections in between these two extremes. Once you choose a line the main price difference will be based on the size. Cymbal weights rarely affect price, i.e. a 16" Zildjian A Thin Crash is the same price as a 16" Zildjian A Medium Crash.

As for cymbal stands, a cheap straight stand with single braced legs will cost about $20 to 25. A professional boom stand with counterweights and double braced legs can cost up to $150.

So to answer your question ....

anywhere between $50 and $450.

An 18" Zildjian A Crash on a Tama RoadPro Boom Stand: About $300.

A 16" Paiste 101 Brash Crash on "generic" straight stand: About $75.

Rockin' out on the drums everyday: Priceless.

Perhaps you should also consider buying the cymbal used. There are many advantages. First you will save close to 50%. Second, better cymbals tend to mellow with age. A cymbal you buy brand new today might sound different a couple of years from now. A cymbal that's already a few years old won't change much over the next few years (barring cracks of other damage).
