I bought this crash cymbal to add it to my drum kit where i have a full set of Sabian AAX cymbals. After completing my set, the only thing missing (in my opinion), was a crash like the o-zones from Sabian, to get a different sound from a crash that you can't get in a "normal" one (i would call it, a sound between a crash and a china).
The thing is, after spending a lot of money in big brand cymbals, i decided i didn't want to spend a lot in an AAX or HHX o-zone, and i took the risk of buying this one for a third of the price of the AAX/HHX without trying it in real life.
After a year of daily use, i can tell you, the risk was 100% worth it. The crash sounds great, the volume is pretty low (not a crash for metal or something like that), it has a pretty quick response, washy sound and 1 year later it's as good as new (keep in mind, i am not an heavy hitter, only broke 2 old cymbals in 13 years of drumming).
Pros: cheap, great sound (almost as good as the big brands), B20, beautiful finish
Cons: i always try to give pros and cons in every review, but i can't find anything negative about this cymbal, it's literally a B20 high end cymbal with the price of a low end cymbal.
