Fantastic crash cymbal

This is my main crash cymbals for practice, rehearsals and gigs.

In terms of sound, I have used a few cymbals from a much higher price range, and would still go back to this one. It is however rather washy, with a long ring at the end, which I personally enjoy a lot, but it is not as attacky crash as some others, so if that's not what suits your purpose, I'd suggest another series in general. Additionally, it has a very nice ping, especially for a 16" cymbal. Definitely feasible to use it as a thin crash/ride.

Despite the price, it is also quite durable. I have had it for a couple of years already, and it's still like new.

Definitely worth the price, both if you're looking for a cheap entry crash cymbal, and as a good option for a washy, long ringing, bright cymbal for your set.

Great cymbal

This is a pretty thin crash and it's stood up to months of bashing now without a blemish in sight. Great quality. As for sound i would compare it to a vintage Zildjian A crash.

The best basic cymbals

Test them with another cymbals from the same basic line as Paiste (502, 303), Meinl (MCS). This is way better, brighter, clearer. Sound like cymbals and not like pan.

Well let's see how long they love. Update soon.

Cheap but good cymbals

This cymbals are very good for the price. They sound alot better than most 'medium range' Sabians. The only downside for me is that they break rather faster than other cymbals. But that could be my technique aswell. These are my main cymbals now.

Amazing high quality crash

I play this crash and it's 17 inch version exclusively for the last two years. Both for rehearsals and gigs, in a bit heavier setting (hard rock/metal music). They sound amazing and are holding up great, definitely a much better value for money then cymbals from bigger brands in similar price range.

Value for money

I use this cymbal in a rehearsal room.

The sound is really nice and it cuts through the mix of a rock - metal band.

The most important thing is that it lasts for a long long time.

Like it's big brother (the 18'' crash) I like the sound, and prefer it over triple the price crashes ! I hit it hard and is seems (and till now it really is) durable ! Great value for me to have this crash to my set ! I still don't believe the (great) sound it produces ! My search for an all around crash is over ! Hit it hard :)
