Hi - I'm after your ideas for crash cymbals for very quiet playing (home playing and behind unmiked acoustic instruments) so I want something that opens up really easily. I like the sound of the Meinl Extra Dry crashes - trashy and dull rather than trashy and bright - but I'm having to play at a level that turn them into lovely light rides rather than crashes. I am not wedded to any brand. If it helps, it's to compliment my 'ride' cymbal which is an Istanbul Agop 18" Signature crash (with just a little foam ring under the bell to mute the wash a touch) and some Meinl 14" Thin Jazz hats that I use the opposite way round so the unlathed bottom hat is on the top. THANKS!
