Great sounding cymbal for rock/metal

I was in need of a second cymbal for my kit (I have a full set of Paiste cymbals), and stumbled across this. At first I was a bit hesitant, seeing as the cymbal was unlike anything I'd tried before, but I was pleased with how it turned out.

The sound is very tinny with quite a long sustain, which works really well in the right environment and with the right songs. It also works well in contrast with my other cymbals too. Cuts through nicely to allow bass and snares to come through alongside it.

My only issue with it, which may be solely personal, is that being a very thin cymbal, it can outbalance the volume levels of other cymbals around the kit. In my case, I was using heavier cymbals.

Overall, if you're looking for something sharp, loud and metallic with a decent build for not too much money, this is great!

Nice crunchy sound

I love this cymbal. You really need a deep bass drum sound to go with it.
