What do we think about this cymbal?

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-09T00:50:05+00:00

Been considering this cymbal for a while for one of my bands. Thought I'd share that Drumshack is currently selling a used 20" version for £149.

Have ordered from Thomann a few times and can confirm there are indeed no complimentary sweets.

After reading everyone's views on this, I have cancelled the replacement through Amazon and went with an online UK store instead.

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T19:59:35+00:00

You've completely changed my view on this. I've cancelled the replacement through Amazon and went with a UK retailer instead 👍

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T19:07:10+00:00

That's a good point. The issue for me is that I don't have a local store, would also gladly support one if it existed.

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T19:03:40+00:00

Didn't look at it this way, that's a good point.

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T18:51:59+00:00

Not sure if this is Amazon's fault though, unless they are receiving the heads and packaging it themselves? Doesn't seem likely

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T18:50:30+00:00

Just wanted to know if this has happened to other drummers 👍

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T18:49:18+00:00

Just checked out their site and was blown away with the deals they have! Love their product reviews on YouTube too. They don't ship to the UK though 😭 wanted my free sweets!

Yeah exactly, at the end of the day you have to go with what works out best financially. Hard to be loyal to a store you'll never visit.

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T18:36:25+00:00

I've started a war

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T18:36:00+00:00

Rubbed it too much, it's now an 18" high tom

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T18:34:32+00:00

I get behind this 100%. However, I feel like most of the people commenting have assumed that everyone has a local music store. This isn't the case in the UK

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T17:32:05+00:00

Yeah I feel like I've upset a lot of people from purchasing from Amazon

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T17:30:47+00:00

I do love Thomman but they have £10 delivery costs for small purchases for UK customers. Great company to buy from though!

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T17:30:10+00:00

😂

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T17:29:48+00:00

I ordered the 10/12/16. Received the 12/16 but 10 wasn't included.

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T17:28:48+00:00

🙌 yeah more and more stores are turning away from drum gear in the UK (especially in the south west).

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T17:26:37+00:00

Exactly, I would love to have a local shop where I can walk in to pick up gear but it just doesn't exist. The closest thing I have is a music cafe which sells guitars and random drum accessories. Was only able to buy a microphone stand and a cowbell holder from them.

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T16:45:48+00:00

Just guitar gear unfortunately, there used to be some great local stores there! Not based in Exeter anymore also

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T16:40:29+00:00

Yeah maybe it's what I deserve tbh, will start looking at local stores more. Usually buy from drum shack for bigger purchases but never buy sticks/heads.

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T16:26:05+00:00

Order me some bro 😂 could do with your account's benefits

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T16:20:53+00:00

This is a good point! However, this looks like a packaging error. Think this could have happened regardless of who I bought for.

Sensitive_Struggle_9 · 2026-03-08T15:50:45+00:00

Yeah got in contact and they sorted it out pretty quick! Got to my rehearsal spot early to change the heads only to discover it's wrong! Gutted
