on-line cymbal question I have a dream of opening a web site that sells and rents and trades cymbals, cymbal appliances, etc... Like you, I believe strongly in trying a cymbal before purchasing it. But the on-line stores don't give you this op. I think it would be good for a drummer to try cymbals at home/gig for 3 weeks to test and compare the sound in a familiar setting, with their other cymbals and their own kit. The site I'm dreamin about would offer to ship several cymbals at a time. Maybe 2 or 3similarly sized or similar types of cymbals to compare. Maybe an expensive one, modestly priced one and an ecomony one. Or, maybe all expensive from different companies. I think there would be a rental fee until the cymbal(s) were either purchased or returned. I would like your comments and any gut feeling if this would be worth it to you instead of buying strictly from Musician's Friend or visiting your Guitar Center or warehouse music store. Shipping costs would not be charged for the returned cymbal. I wonder if there are people that already have done this or, is it just not worth the wait to actually have the cymbal at home before you buy it.
