Hi, these were not B20 as far as I know. They're like Camber Meinl. I hope I'm wrong and they're B20 and they're amazing, but I've come across these before and I think they're a middle of the road kind of cymbal. I hope somebody can prove me wrong.

If you play it and like how they sound - right on! no matter what worth they are. Other than the obvious (Meinl made in Germany) I don't know anything about these. If they are not B20, they are likely Nickel Silver. If they have a gray color to them, that would likely be Nickel Silver. Nickel Silver used to be more the norm in the 50s and earlier, beside B20s always being around. Before B8, there was Nickel Silver. They can sound wonderful, though definitely are different sounding than the more common B8s or B20s we are more familiar with.

If you could shoot a video, that might help a great deal.

I had a great day! Instead of sleeping in and wasting the day, I got up at 8 and I had all my slacking done by noon!

Another thing I need to add -

If you don't like the sound of them, don't immediately off them. Try a bunch of different bottoms with either one on top. I have discovered several pairs of HHs that are not all that good, but when using either singular cymbal as a top, along with the right bottom, they can turn out to be downright great! Then what you have is, essentially, two great tops! Never discount HH cymbals until you have run them through the mix/match game.
