A little more than just reasonable

The best choice if you care about the price -- reasonable sound, great look + second crash as a bonus.

Very nice cymbals for the price

I tried the cymbals and they sound bright! The hihats are amazing! For the price I could have better

Lighter sound, but gets dirty very quickly

These were my first cymbals. I like the look and sound of them, though the latter might seem a bit too light sometimes.

The only clear downside to these cymbals are how easily they attract fingerprints - but I guess that's just part of the deal when choosing a bright/clear finish.

Very nice, strong cymbal set made of 4 sizes cymbal set and a very good sound quality :)

Great cymbal set for a good price

I have been using this cymbal set for a year now and I am very satisfied. Hi-hat cymbals admired me for its great sound, very clean and crisp sound. The other cymbals are also good quality with good sound. Only the 16'' crash cymbal was difficult to record in the studio.

Perfect set for gigs, rehearsals, training.

VERY LOUD

this set is very loud but sounds good for rock bands, not for softer genres

If you consider buying this , READ THIS REVIEW

As we all know, this is a B12 alloy cymbal set. A little bit brighter than B20 , similar in power and projection.

THE HATS

To be honest,I was amazed by these hats. I never tried some mastersound hats,so this was new to me. I know it's not a fair comparison,but put next to a pair of AAX Stage Hats,you can see the difference between a regular lip pair of hats and a wavy one.They're loud.Very loud.This doesn't affect the sound quality and crispness , though. Although the AAX tends to have a clearer sound ( well,AAX is top of the line,after all) , these hats won't disappoint you.

THE RIDE

I love it. It's sweet , doesn't wash and the bell is somewhat cutting. Overall, it's a great ride that I'd buy separately if I didn't need the hats and crashes.

THE CRASHES

Ugh,we had to get here,didn't we? Poor effort, zildjian. You could really do something amazing here, but I guess this is how business works. Mediocre crashes. They don't sound wrong , but they're not 'brilliant' for the price , either.

SENTENCE:GOOD PACK

It's worth it.No major compromises here, despite the crashes.

Awesome quality for the price

I bought this set of cymbals because I heard it was the new series of Zildjian. At the beginning I was a bit afraid because that's all new and I wanted to buy the A custom series, but when I played this set for the first time the sound was very good ! A beautiful sustain, resonance, ... This set is a very good deal!
