Ha. I was running my database in the other widow while you posted. And when I say I'm not questioning the "conventional wisdom" that 602s crack more, it's just that I want to focus on the science of why some cymbals crack. I don't want to get into arguments about whether one brand/line cracks more than others. I don't think we will ever get agreement there either. But I keep trying to tease out the evidence and the logic of the arguments.
Thanks mate. PM sent.

I'm doubly confused now. That's the thread I pointed you to Bill. Now you are pointing me back to it and saying I am welcome to read it to my heart's content?
My heart wasn't content reading that thread. My heart sunk when I read that thread.

I meant this for everone else's benefit, not yours. As for you, just read it one more time and then you can be triple-ey confused.
Then simply repeat as many times as desired.

So, Drumaholic - you base your conviction on Calfskins arguments, it that correct?
When I asked to where you had your information from, it is just because I really want to know if you had a genuine, reliable source for the statement.
If Calfskin is your source, I will remain on the same side of the discussion as Pinksterboer and mr. Paiste, and view Paiste Formula 602 as B20 cymbals made from cast ingots like any other B20 cymbal, except the italian ones.

Calfskin is not my source.
What is then your source of knowledge?
Jon
Neither have I - regrettably, "mine" was from the library.
But I must have read it in another way than you did, because I got the impression that Paiste DID make the 602s exactly the same way as Zildjian et al.
To quote Zenstats qoute from the cymbal book:
"My evidence for multi way rolling comes from Pinksterboer p215
Quote:
The Paiste Sound Alloy is, just like B20, rolled in different directions"
But hey - I will not say I know. I am just very surprised that first Calfskin and now you say that you know. And most surprisingly, know something that is at best somewhat at odds with what most other people seem to think.
Including me, after reading Pinksterboer.
Calfskin doesn´t seem to accept 602´s as made from B20 - what do you think about that?
Apparently, he also thinks it´s wrong to say Zildjian A´s are made from B20, as Zildjian sometimes claim to adding a little silver to the alloy - and then it is apparently not B20....
So - what to think?
Regards
Jon
