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.
