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.

Zultan 16" Aja crash

Im completely in love with these cymbals! Perfect for my style of accenting notes and neuances; very bright and warm, short sustain ? just the way i like it. I like my cymbals medium agressive; Its nasty enough to make an impact, the listener can definitely feel the attack, but it doesnt dwell on a long sustain.

Pros;

+ Price ? its a true bargain! For the price, it exceeded my expectations many times over!

+ Size ? light and compact.

+ Looks great ? it looks more like an expensive custom cymbal than an economy class accessory. There are cymbals that sound great, but look like the cheapest possible tin can material.

+ Perfect Dynamics; its loud enough to be an accented note by itself, while the short sustain allows for a ton of combos with other cymbals before and after.

Cons;

- If youre going for louder, rock type effects, this cymbal might be too soft-sounding for you. For example; if you like to finish fills on a massive crash, it wont give the same effect as a big sounding rock crash. It will, though, do the job for groove fills, like when playing around with dynamics.

- So far, it holds my heavy chops very well, but for real heavy-hitters, this cymbal might not last very long as it is very thin.

Summary;

To buy or not to buy? ? A definte Yes! Im tempted to get more crashes form this series, they are perfect for my taste in cymbals and my type of playing.
