Best Sabian 15" B8X Thin Crash Alternatives

Based on 1 reviews

Hello everyone! Paiste Signature Fast Crash 15" is an extremly sharp, bright and fast crash. The best for accents and when you hit it with a rimshot it sounds like a shot of the gun. With this crash you are the King of groove, man. I play in a funk band and in the local orchestra. This crash is very versatile, I love it and play this exact cymbal the most of the time. In combination with 16 and 18 that give much more powerful sound, this 15 inches little baby has best of both worlds. It can be bright and funky under the stick and quite but sensetive while playing with the rutes or brushes. A little advice. Of course 16-18 sizes are most usual for crash cymbals. But don't be afraid of buying 15 or even 14 inces crashes. Paiste Signature is the professional line and even small sizes...

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.
