I had two of these which came from the Alesis DM5 Pro Kit (which is a complete joke all together) and they have both broken now. I broke the first one that was used as the high hat so I sacrificed using a cymbal to use the high hat so I took the cymbal off and put it where the high hat was. It broke within two weeks. They're very frustrating to deal with and the triggers inside them break even before the piece itself breaks all together. I definitely do not recommend this. If I were you, I would buy myself a roland brand electronic drum kit because that's what I'm currently doing to replace that awful Alesis kit.

I would not even consider getting this cymbal. They fall apart very easily and after only 2 months, these cymbals which are Alesis AM5 pro kit are breaking down. They are now miss triggering or not triggering at all. You cant even hit it on the edge without damaging the cymbal unless you hit it really softly.

This is a very cheap cymbal that responds ok for the price I guess. I would not recommend this if you wanna make serious recordings, cause its not completely reliable; sometimes you get a loud response other times (rarely) no response at all. But its better to have some cheap drums, than none at all, you can always use them as unplugged pads, and they are very quiet, and thats why I got this in change for my acoustic; so I could practice and have fun day and night;)

Hopefully helpfull for you
