very good product, besides the old package protected by a sturdy box and is lined to prevent moisture.
the product would recommend to add a link containing the sound of the dish when it is beaten with a stick to give an idea of the sound emitted
but perfect as you imagine

Sabian AAX Studio Crash Cymbal, Brilliant, Brilliant 16 Inches Review

Sabian AAX Studio Crash Cymbal, Brilliant, Brilliant 16 Inches
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great tool if you are looking for a quick sharp attact, but still want some body with it. Being a smaller crash it has great high overtones and quick delay, but it is much larger than a spash so it has more sustain and heaviness.
I love the bright crash cymbals, Sabian AAX or Zildjian A custom, and this is one cymbal that fits the mold very well. I use it for many applications from live playing, recording, rock/pop, to jazz/funk. Always in my cymbal bag whenever and wherever I play.

Extremely fast and providing a shimmering modern bright sound with innovative Dynamic Focus at all volumes., the 18-inch Sabian AAX X-Plosion crash cymbal is bursting with bright, explosive attack to deliver penetrating definition with total presence and power.

AAX Line Key Features
Dynamic Focus design delivers shimmering modern bright responses at all volumes.
Hand-guided, high-pressure hammering for instant response.
Hand-cut, pinpoint lathing maximizes sensitivity for increased dynamic range.
High-profile shape for brighter, more explosive and cutting responses.
Various designs, some including raw bell or holes, for wide range of sounds.
Made of pure Sabian B20 bronze--20 percent tin, 80 percent copper, and traces of silver.
All Sabian B20 bronze cymbals are quality protected by a two-year warranty

Tap it. Thrash it. With its 'Dynamic Focus' design delivering total response accuracy at every volume, only AAX lets you work all the dynamic levels, from low volume to high, with total control. In the studio or on stage, in every style of music, only AAX delivers such consistently bright, crisp, clear, and cutting responses. AAX is the ultimate Modern Bright sound.

Dynamic Focus. The first modern B20 cymbal design concept, 'Dynamic Focus' delivers total control by eliminating volume threshold and distortion. The bright attack, the shimmering sustain, and the ability of AAX to perform with excellence at all volumes lets your playing shine.

What They're Saying
"The arrival of AAX changed everything. It's so efficient, so effective, so modern." --Daniel Adair

"AAX is a secret weapon. Tap it or slam it, it always delivers. I mix AAX and APX. Now that's a wicked combo!" --Ray Luzier

Play the Right Cymbals
Every cymbal has its strengths and limitations. Hitting a smaller or thinner cymbal harder and harder to get a bigger sound or make it louder isn't the answer. It wasn't designed to be so loud. So don't use small, thin cymbals for high-volume, hard-hitting playing (unless you want a contrast in your set-up... but don't hit them as hard as the rest.) For volume, power and durability, choose bigger and heavier models. And consider the brighter sounding series, like AA, AAX, PRO and Sonix. Their sounds are higher pitched and more effective at cutting through a loud band. Lower pitched series, like Hand Hammered and HHX, also offer models suitable for powering any style of music.

Average Reviews:

All I really have to say about this cymbal is it's great. Cheap price for it and it sounds awesome. It has the lighter kind of crash sound and isn't dark and deep. All about the what the drummer likes, but I can't think of anything I don't like about it. Had it since Christmas and no damage at all, and I'm a hard player. Would really recommend adding this to your set.

Sabian 16 Inch B8 Thin Crash Review

Sabian 16 Inch B8 Thin Crash
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have two and love them! I play all kinds of music and they sound awesome at any price but the fact that they are so cheap is incredible! I play in a Neil Diamond tribute band and they are extra sensitive for that but I also play mostly metal and they are ALWAYS loud enough. They have such a beautiful tone that dosent get tinny with age like the Zildjian's and Paiste's do and are less expensive to boot, plus are way more durable. Ive alway maintained that I can break a Zildjian at will. They use what seems to be a softer more inferior grade alloy. Some of them sound realy nice but it's realy only a matter of time till they break and your heart right with it. Some Paiste's sound realy great too but its also just a matter of time with those too, also they get realy trashy with age. I recently played a gig where another drummer was gonna let me use his old 2002 ride. I was thinking well it probably sounds better than my b8 ride god knows 2002's cost like 4 or more times what a Sabian b8 costs. So I set it up. I sounded like HELL! I threw my b8 back up so fast! the b8's are louder and are more sensitive at lower volumes than any Paiste and age way better.
I have I think broken a couple Sabians over the years ( I've played them since they came out!)but I don't "know" I'm going to break them and when I did it was more like a fluke. The ones I broke were a long time ago and cymbal technology has gotten so much better I feel it would be another fluke if I broke one again. But bottom line the sound awesome plus they're cheap. If anyone tells you different don't listen, find out for yourself because I LOVE them. ther is a store near me that has a stack of 16" thin crashes (my favorite. don't like the heavier b8's so much) and if I had the money I'd buy the whole stack and not regret it! LOL

Zildjian ZBT Ride Cymbal - 20 Inch Review

Zildjian ZBT Ride Cymbal - 20 Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I began playing clubs when I was 12. Had to sign a waiver to legally play. Throughout my life, I have played in so many bands at so many places and have gone through so many drums and Zildjian cymbals. I just got my 20" ride today. This is, by far, the best cymbal quality I've ever experienced. I also own an Avedis Zildjian from the late 60's (made in Turkey). This USA Zildjian outranks that cymbal and any other cymbal I've ever heard or played...no contest. Sweet. Perfect. I payed $125 in the 60's for the other.....and $79 something for this one. This is a must buy for any drummer.

Average Reviews:

Got it out of the box and started playing it almost immediately.
It has a nice shimmering sound.
The finish is beautiful.
My only issue is that they sent it to me in a box about twice as long as it needed to be.
Also, when I took the cymbal out of the box, you could see scuff marks on the bag from it sliding around a lot.
That's shipping details, though. The actual cymbal is great.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Very jazzy, very pretty, very expressive. A great cymbal with lots of versatility. My only complaint is that I wish it was a tiny bit louder. It sounds so great, it has changed the way I play somewhat. It calls out like a siren, beckoning you to strike it, luring you away from your hi-hats. I am very satisfied.

Zildjian 20-Inch K Heavy Ride Cymbal Review

Zildjian 20-Inch K Heavy Ride Cymbal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I actually own the 22" version of this ride, which was sadly discontinued a few years ago. I've played the 20" too, and they are both magnificent cymbals (though I prefer the 22")
Even though this is a very heavy cymbal, it is still one of the most versatile rides I have ever played. I've played it in jazz and metal gigs, and heard it from the audience on a few jazz gigs, and it fits in perfectly with almost every kind of music. It can be played softly, the bell can cut through anything if you need it to, and it has a beautiful wobble if you play it right. It also crashes wonderfully if you like a crash ride.

Zildjian 22-Inch K Custom Dark Ride Cymbal Review

Zildjian 22-Inch K Custom Dark Ride Cymbal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently purchased this cymbal after extensive searching, trying various K Custom models, and finally settling on this particular one.
First, a few caveats when buying a K Custom - all of these cymbals are hand hammered and each has a distinct, unique personality and sound. For example, when I listened to the sound sample on Zildjian's site (paste the ASIN number, B00006AZMI, into the search box, select All Products and click GO), the sound is a bit different from the actual cymbal I received. Second, if you are seeking cymbals that are cutting or project, the K Custom series is not for you.
Zildjian describes this cymbal as dark and warm with trashy crash qualities. Mine roughly fits that description, but can also be airy and washy, with over- and under-tones, depending on how you play it. I've even managed to get a bit of a shimmer from it with a stick technique that uses about a third of the stick surface when riding the cymbal. Moreover, while Zildjian's sound sample did impart a 'trashy crash', the cymbal I have does not have this quality in a pronounced way. It does manage to combine articulation with a lot of sustain (I know that sounds odd, but it's true.)
I said that this cymbal does not cut or project - you can literally carry on a normal conversation a foot away when riding this cymbal. The crash washes, but does not project. Horrible for rock, but perfect for acoustic jazz, and that is where this cymbal excells.
