Masterwork Troy Cymbal Set

Not the best choice

Been using this set for couple of months. First impressions were very good: the look of the cymbals, the sound is great for their price, free cymbal bag.

But at some point I started to notice that when I'm playing (especially ride) the cymbals are changing heights (while rotating for a little bit). Then I took them off to check, and of course, as I was already expecting, they all were bent on one side. The Hi-Hat bottom and Ride are especially noticeable. Hi-Hat Bottom has 2-3 mm difference on one side if divided in half.

I don't know, maybe I didn't get the best set, but I think things like that shouldn't happen, and I don’t hit them too hard so they can bend because of that.

Also, there are some fingerprints (from manufacturers?) which are annoying to look at, because I like my cymbals to be clean. And it can't be cleaned with a wipe, need to use special liquid, which I will never use (for obvious reasons). And in general, some strange spots begin to appear, probably due to the metal, but before this happened to me after a couple of years, not months.

In conclusion, I want to say that overall I am disappointed with the purchase. Should have stick to Paiste cymbals, never had any issues with them.
