Millenium 14" B20 Crash

I bought them for my son and for this price you won't find other cymbals with B20 material, which is practically the standard for top class cymbals. They are of course thinner, so they are not for stronger charging. If you have imagination and ideas and can make some holes and the like, you can make a stack cymbal or any effect type cymbal for a little money and I an sure that will sound better than cheap stacks which are not cheap if you know what I mean. The sound is not bad at all. Better then some mainl classic series which really sounds like crap to me...ear damage. If you are looking for better and thicker low budget B20 cymbals than Zultan manufacturer or Armoni (Sonor) is a top choice. If you have money lying around or you are a professional or want perfect sound then go Sabian AAX, Zildijan,... or something in that range.

To give some context, I bought the Millenium 12" splash, 14" and 16" crash on a budget for a bar band I joined, to use with an old entry-level Pearl kit I picked up for 150€.

Getting three B20 cymbals for about 100€ is amazing considering most cymbal manufacturers are taking us for a ride these days (pun intended!).

I think they sound good live (they crash well, cut through nicely and have a short ring with inaudible overtones). I also get the feeling that they aren't so cheaply made that they're going to be particularly susceptible to breaking. I'm a light hitter though, so your mileage my vary.

IMO they sound better than the Meinl HCS and Sabian B8 that came with the kit - I'll be selling those. For studio recording I'm not sure how the Milleniums would hold up though.

They don't look great on very close inspection (they're only machined - not hand finished), and the hole on one of them isn't quite perfectly circular.

Its been 3 mo. i use this cymbal and i might say the sound of cymbal is medium bright, not so heavy and not tiny, it would brighten the song.

But, i have a little bit cons. about the sustain. The sustain is not stable, sometimes the sound's over within different times.

About quality i might say this is quiet tough and comparable to big brand names. I brought sometimes to gigs, and still looking good.

So my recommendation, grab this one for those who are just begin with drum or just want to save some money as any big brands will yield more expensive yet same quality.
