Yeah everyone should do it. I would do it on my main set, but I would buy a crappy set and pimp it out. I love my real set too much to mess it up. I bought this one set from a freind and that is the one that I pimp out.

also, ziljian released a "titanium" coated/lathed cymbal now. they're a bright silver finish and the logos are actually etched into the cymbal which show the underlayer alloy.

but, i believe they're only for set cymbals. other than that, yea, paiste had colored cymbals, but i wouldnt worry about cymbal colors. if you're comparing drumhead colors to a cymbal alternate, instead of the actuall cymbal color, i'd find a cymbal pad and strap color.. i'm sure they sell those in colors SOMEWHERE>..if not, i'm sure you could bleach and dye if you wanted.

You know what matters most. Playing well. If you notice, the best drumlines don't worry about colored drumheads or sticks or cymbals. They just play great. Impress them with your ability.

jkozol, always the instructor eh?
thats very true. is all about playing well and good sound quality, but hey, people like to have fun with their equipment, and that doesnt neccesarily keep them from playing well either.

Well, yeah. It's what I do.

There are some cymbals out there that come in different colors. You will probably have to look a lot in catalogs and magazines and even online. Go to your nearest music store and ask. It never hurts to ask. If you can't find any then hate it for ya cuz is not a good idea to paint cymbals especially druing marching band season.

Paiste used to make them. They were called colorsounds. I think I mentioned this previously.

Jeez I want different colored cymbals. Those Titanium ones sound awesome.
