Durable, Cheap, and doubles as a ride

This is an amazing quality cymbal I can't even start describing it! It is like a freakin superman cymbal...its virtually invincible (didnt even dent for me). I doubled it as a ride for my beginer set, because I liked the type of sizzling sound it wasmaking, it a unique crash/ride. I recommend this for beginners, but since these are great, I cant imagine what the PST 5s are like, so buy those in the pack to save cash in the long run.

You get what you pay for

If your looking for an inexpenisve durable cymbal you found it this is a great product for the price but it isnt nearly powerful enough i had the 16" years ago and it seems like everything would overpower it and it didn't resonate very long. but who can argue with the price?

    Look, I've been playing drums for 10 years, and recently broke my Zildjian A custom thin right in half. So Im like ok early pay check and I needed a new cymbal cheap before a gig. This is a great starter cymbal. But i cannot wait to start switching back to my A and K custom cymbals. Comparing this to those is actually depressing. Its a great cymbal dont get me wrong haha. Just if you are used to nice cymbals and you need a quick cymbal. Go to a PST5 not a PST3 reason being the PST5 is a lot louder and has more ring. If you like fast dying cymbals stick with this. But for my taste I like a loud ring :D so this kinda disappointed me since it was a Paiste and are usually very loud. Overall its good beginner cymbal, not good for experienced users.

    I have a couple sets of Zildjians, but am always open to other sounds. This is a niche cymbal for sure....a rather quiet crash that adds a nice dimension to an array of cymbals. If you have a limited budget, give it a try.

  • very quiet

    I got this cymbal because i couldnt afford anything else. the only real problem with it is that it is much too quiet. my other crashes just drown it out. but its a decent buy if you cant afford anything else.
