Well - yes, partly. But it also depends on what other people are willing to pay.
If I am too much of a tightwad, someone else will probably get it, not me. And if I spend too much, there is something else I will miss, as funds are not unlimited. I donīt want to pay more than fair.
So - what other people will pay HAS importance.

| that would be at the very top of my "willing to pay for a 505 crash list", i dont think you are being tight, it would have to be near mint for me to go for that price. |

Is it a green label or, black label crash you are after?
I have an early black label 20" black label 505 crash. It sounds awesome and is in very good condition apoart from the logo is faded a bit, but I have only used it about twice in the last 15 years!!
I got it in 1986 when my older brother got married and moved out of our parents house and I bought his kit from him. All of the other cymbals from the kit have long gone. I had an 18" medium black label 505 crash, a 2002 ride, a 18" 5* super Zyn that for the love of me I can't find and I'm sure I didn't sell it. But most of all what I'm most gutted about selling was my 15" formula 602 HiHats 
They just weren't in vogue for a 17 year old in 1993! I traded them in for some Sabian aa fusion hats and gave THEM money 
Now I'm in a dilemma. Someone on here desperately wants a 505 20" crash which I have and don't use and would like to help them out, but It has quite a bit of sentimental value to me.  |

Well, it seems my refusal of paying 150 but offering 125 has paid off. At least I have received an email, accepting my offer.
So letīs see - if negotiations comes to a standstill again, I will pass on his emailaddress, Simon.
But yes, "Paiste" - I opened this thread because I experienced difficulties in locating a 20" crash and a 22" ride. As you can read from the last posts here, I am not quite willing to pay the equivalent of 150 for one, but it seems Simon (highwooddrums) might be.

Glad that you have got a 505 and are pleased with the price.
I hope you didn't take my post the wrong way. I certainly wasn't trying to sell you my cymbal and command a sky high price. Just was in a dilemma because you were actively searching for one which I had and didn't really use. It was the sentimental value of it for me which I was trying to weigh up.
Anyway it's immaterial now as you have one on the way  |

I donīt know how far it has come on its way to me - so far there is only e-mails.
I only read your mail as a nice offer of a cymbal I am looking for - maybe too late, as if the other deal comes through, I will live up to my word there.
What would your price be?

Hi Jon,
I really hope this one will work for you now!
Just being curious: The offer does not com from Germany, does it? ;-)
Could it be that the buyer of the one I was trying to get for you found this thread and is now trying to make some extra money?
I know, this might sound a bit too suspicious, but I already wondered before if it really was a good idea to communicate all this so public. If you google for the respective crash, this thread has become one of the first hits in the meantime...
Anyway, I wish you the best luck possible, and I hope you will hold it in your hands soon! Let us know, please! :-)
@ highwooddrums: Yeah! I have a pair of the 15" medium hats, too, and they alone were the ones that sent me on this unexpected 505 trip ;-) I got them cheap and the seller said they were good, so I bought them to bridge the time until I could afford 2002s. As soon as I played them for the first time, I forgot about the 2002s, got myself the 20" Ride, and the sails were set...
By the way: Has anybody out there ever seen an existing 14" 505 China? Paistewiki says they exist, and I SOOO want one, but I have never come across one in reality.
Best wishes,
Maik |

It could very well be the same - Black Label, nice condition.
His email-address starts with a vegetable....
He hasnīt come through this forum, but directly to my e-mail.
Couldīve got it from Drummerforum.de, where I have had a thread too.
125 is my max these days....and yes, writing about it in public brings some problems. But it also brings attention in the positive sense, so...as I donīt really try to get it cheaper I can live with it.

Wow, so it's not the buyer, but the original seller himself... What a lousy character... He could have easily told me that his price has gone up because he now thinks it's worth more, but he didn't have the courage and obviously preferred lying to me and searching a way through the back door.
Anyway, as long as the cymbal will find its way to you, I'm happy with whatever way this might be. ;-)
Your limit of 125 Euros is exactly what I, personally, would consider to be the absolute top of a reasonable and fair price range for both, buyer and seller. For whatever reason, the black labels go for a little less than the green labels do, so, after paying the price itself plus the shipping, you will most probably find yourself in the same position I was in a couple of weeks ago: You'll own a nice cymbal which you will enjoy very much, but you will always ask yourself if it really was necessary to spend that much money...
A while ago, somebody here asked if there was a difference between the black labels and the green labels. From my own personal experience I can only say that my black label China is - soundwise - absolutely identical to its green labelled brothers and sisters. I would have loved to have the opportunity to do a short comparison of the 20" black label crash and my green labelled one, but, as things have developed, it looks like this will never happen ...
Cheerio!

My experience - which is limited to 14" Medium Hats - is that they are identical sonically, as much as different sets are.
Let us see if there ends up being a deal, I am not quite convinced yet, maybe he is playing a little game to see how much he can get.
Well, 125 + 17 postage is OK with me. But not more. It will be part of a nice, big setup, and as such I know I will be satisfied.
But I have time to wait for another, and will just as well take a 22" ride - the 20" ride I have is actually quite nice as a crash until then.

Hi G Lo,
yes, thanks for your info, I had already discovered it and, since then, have been searching the net for some advice regarding the question if welding would make any sense here... Still no idea how it would sound afterwards ...
But, at least, now I have a proof of their existance!
Best wishes!

About welding on cymbals - it has always been a no go.
BUT:
Recently I read on your German Forum, drummerforum.de, about a company that had specialized in laser-welding. And that seemed to work on bronze and cymbals, as I understood, due to the very limited area affected by the very precise application of heat.
I havenīt delved further into the subject as I donīt crack cymbals myself....never have.

Hi, new to the forum so bear with me.
I've currently got a pair of Sound Formula (Frankenfurter logo!) 14 medium hats which sound really nice.
Does anyone know the sound quality difference between these and a pair of 14 505 hats?
I'm looking to move over to a complete 505 setup. I've currently got a 20" 505 ride which is brilliant.
I've currently got a Dream 16 Energy Crash (which sounds nice) and was wondering if you thought a 16 505 or 18 505 would complement it better.
Don't say both, as the missus is already giving it 'how many cymbals do you need...' |

Thanks Highwood! you're right, but cymbal buying and selling is a fine juggling act to keep the peace!
You're based in Horbury right? (my home town).

@dougthedrum: Wow. This must have been the cheapest 505 20" China ever. Usually, they're on the level of the 22 Rides and the big Crashes... Are you the lucky one who bought it? :-)
@Jon: Thank you, I'll check this out, but I think most probably it will be too expensive to justify buying a cracked one used, after it has already been drilled ... Maybe I'll just keep hoping that one day one without cracks will show up. ;-)
@bigwusser: I think it's not a secret that most people in this thread like the 505 crashes, be it 16" or 18", and most of them (myself included) will probably encourage you to try one and decide for yourself. But, if you already have a crash you really like, why should you exchange it for a different one??? I, personally, am a big, big fan of the 20" 505 Ride, and it triggered my interest in the complete series, but I would never change a cymbal just because somebodey else says he likes a different one more.
On the other hand, I have the 13/14/16/18/20 505 Crashes, and they really ARE a series, i.e. they go together extremely well. I didn't like the 16" too much when it was my only crash, but I actually love it since it's been part of the bigger setup. (same thing for my 8" Splash: I use it more since I have the 10", too, because they seem to benefit from each other, in a way...)
If you're planning to own only one 505 Crash, I'd definitely prefer to give the 18" a try. It's all a question of personal taste, of course, but for me, this one works perfect as a single Crash, while I always miss something when I try to use the 16" for a small setup. It's a bit too harsh, it's a bit too high-pitched, and it doesn't seem to have "enough balls" and tone for what I wish to do with it. The 18" has it all. But, as always, just my two cents...
;-)
All the best!

Congrats!!! I think it's even more fun to have such a nice cymbal if you know it didn't cost you a fortune. Let me know how you like it and how it integrates into your setup with all these Thin Crashes.
BTW: I read you have an MX from '84. Very nice! My set is a Professional DX from the same period :-) I'm absolutely in love with it, especially with its original M514-D Snare. Usually, I'm not the biggest fan of steel snares, but this one is just the one for me! Do you play the original snare, too?
Ok, no more snare talk in a 505 thread... ;-)
Bye.

I received the 22" Ride today - a bit heavier at 2940 grammes than I thought it would be, but still a nice, relatively light cymbal.
The 20" Crash - my biggest crash ever, and thin at 1780 grammes - is really nice, very much recommended.
I wrote the seller of the the Premier kit including two 22" 505s - a Crash and a Ride - and asked him to pass on my email to the new owner, as I am interested in the cymbals, at least in the Crash. A 22" Crash sounds - hefty?!
So, letīs see.

Hi Jon,
I haven't had the time to watch the forum for a while now, so I read your post about the 22" Crash just a few minutes ago. Wow. As you surely can imagine, I'm hot for this, too, and I can't believe all this stuff was sold for only 200 quid...
Of course, I will not take any action, it's your turn, but if there will be any outcome to your attempt of contacting the buyer and you find you don't like it, please give me a note and let me know! ;-)
It's kind of funny, the seller of the 22" Ride (the link I sent you) is now offering a 20" Crash, too... This would have been your man, wouldn't he...? ;-)
I hope you enjoy your 'new' toys as much as I enjoy mine! :-) You didn't sound like you fell in love with the 22" Ride, did you? I fell in love with mine the very first time I hit it with a stick, and I knew immediately that I shouldn't have imported the 22" Heavy Ride from the US for more than 200 Dollars...
;-)
Best wishes!
Maik

The 22" Ride is fine - it is just that the 20" Crash is very fine!
Yes, I think the Ride will grow on me, I am going to keep it.

Yes, thatīs a nice cymbal.
My haunt for 505s are just about over, only 8 & 10" splashes to go, and I have a lot patience for them, no hurry at all. AND a 22" Crash if ever I find one - I never heard from the buyer of the Premier kit with the two 22" 505s, so presumably he is happy with them.

The 18" China is the only one I consider selling. 2 rivets mounted by me.
OK cymbal, but not really thin enough for my taste.
