Best Paiste 15" Signature Fast Crash Alternatives

Based on 1 reviews

Sabian 15" B8X Thin Crash.. For me, it is a very good cymbal, great sound at this price. yes, it's thin, but you still feel it when you hit. The bell is not so strong and not so big, but I still use it and it sounds good, too. Good for almost any type of music, but maybe for metal it could be softer than you need. I like it.

i took a chance on this and was quite pleased. its not very loud and quite thin. fairly fast but does sustain, opens up quickly on swells. sounds great, lots of overtones. I use it as a second crash playing mostly pop, funk and rock. it doesn't have the power for every situation, but nice for lower volume accents. not a good choice for sustained metal hammering imo, im not a heavy hitter but i don't think it would last long and i would go for something faster in a 15". like any cymbal, it will be all about if it works with the others. it fit into my setup nicely.

I received mine today and fell in love with it in the first few minutes. I got a few Aja a while ago and could not believe the value for your hard-earned money on these cymbals, and this Q go steps ahead. I had a 12" K beside it, and the Q sounded as articulate, only a bit darker. it responds beautifully to your strokes, and as the description says, it's quite low and dark. It also looks far better than on pics/videos, a real work of art, not rough looking at all though. as well made as any top of the best-known/ most expensive brands. A beautiful and great sounding instrument for a very fair price, you can't go wrong with that.
