    I use the product for practice only. Since the the cymbal has holes in it to produce it's unique sound, the cymbal is more fragile to breaking and breaks easier any other I Family cymbal.

  • Great accent cymbal

    I was on a mad search to get a good crash with a trashy/china tone. Pretty much I wanted a cheaper version of the China Swish. I tried a few different cymbals before deciding on this one. Much to my shock my ear was drawn to the least expensive option; The I family. This cymbal has been exactly what I've wanted. Great tone, quick decay but not overpowering like the China High (IMO.) This purchase even lead me to try out the S Family which I now stack over the A customs. Yes, I bought 18 A Custom and hated it went and listens to an S at the local GC and walked out with the S. Perplexing but has made my wallet less thin.

    wanted to check something out from the new "I" family and this was my go to. Very happy with how it sounds! especially for the price. Not quite as piercing as the 16 trash crash in the "S" family and I actually prefer the more dry sound from this new line!
