Heavy? I thought this was pretty light.

I thought I could use them for playing at home, mostly with hotrods or brushes. I live in an apartment building, with pretty resonant concrete floors and I don't want the neighbours to call the cops on me.

Ah, I first read 11"... just checked and you actually said 11.8", which is basically 12". Then that's an ideal weight, unless you're playing heavy metal. Cool cymbals.
