Millenium 14" B20 Crash

14" Crash B 20

These Cymbals are very good for the price they cost. made of B 20 so those sound like the typical B 20 Cymbals - good. there is only one thing which is not top notch and thats the sustain, it is a bit shorter as from those expensive ones ( Zildjian etc) I play very hard at some points and I hit them hard since nearly half a year and they are still with me, no cracks, keyholes or whatsoever. so the Cymbals from Millenium are very very good if you are on a low Budget and play like Metal/Punk or such things. a clear recommendation from my side.

B20 material

I bought them for my son and for this price you won't find other cymbals with B20 material, which is practically the standard for top class cymbals. They are of course thinner, so they are not for stronger charging. If you have imagination and ideas and can make some holes and the like, you can make a stack cymbal or any effect type cymbal for a little money and I an sure that will sound better than cheap stacks which are not cheap if you know what I mean. The sound is not bad at all. Better then some mainl classic series which really sounds like crap to me...ear damage. If you are looking for better and thicker low budget B20 cymbals than Zultan manufacturer or Armoni (Sonor) is a top choice. If you have money lying around or you are a professional or want perfect sound then go Sabian AAX, Zildijan,... or something in that range.

To give some context, I bought the Millenium 12" splash, 14" and 16" crash on a budget for a bar band I joined, to use with an old entry-level Pearl kit I picked up for 150€. Getting three B20 cymbals for about 100€ is amazing considering most cymbal manufacturers are taking us for a ride these days (pun intended!). I think they sound good live (they crash well, cut through nicely and have a short ring with inaudible overtones). I also get the feeling that they aren't so cheaply made that they're going to be particularly susceptible to breaking. I'm a light hitter though, so your mileage my vary. IMO they sound better than the Meinl HCS and Sabian B8 that came with the kit - I'll be selling those. For studio recording I'm not sure how the Milleniums would hold up though. They don't look great on very close inspection (they're only machined - not hand finished), and the hole on one of them isn't quite perfectly circular.

excellent!

b20, nice finish and hammering.short,sharp,not "gongy" like most chinese cymbals.Don't be afraid of price,qaulity is there.

Fine for practice

It doesn't sound amazing but for that price I really can't complain.

Trashy

This cymbal is trashy and Crisp sounding like a china cymbal, I use it for a good top hihat

Makes a noise when you hit it.

Not the best sounding cymbal in the world, but it is just about the cheapest.

Очень хороший бюджет

Лучшее сочетание цена/качество, сплав b20 звучит. Отличная тарелка за такую стоимость. Хорошо сочетается с моим крэшем Zultan 16" Dark Matter.

Excellent crash for practice and beginners

You are hardly going to get a better deal on a 14" crash (and a B20 alloy at that) for as cheap as this one. Naturally, the sound leaves something to be desired: it has short sustain and there's a slight, barely noticeable inconsistency with every other hit but things like these are to be expected. It's overall bright (check the sound sample to get a sense) and the quality is great.

Bottom line: for the price, it's an unmatched crash that will save you big bucks if you're looking for a less serious commitment. Recommended.

Zeer goede crash

De cymbaal was een blijde verrassing. De klank is zeer vol maar wel redelijk scherp en luid dus voor gebruik best lichtjes dempen met wat tape aan de onderkant of dergelijke.

De cymbaal oogt ook zeer mooi vanwege zijn glanzende afwerking
