I have always been a Sabian man and dreaded anything else, but I decided to try Meinl on a whim. Keep in mind I have Sabian AAX, a FEW HHX and several B8pro's and AA models. I got this cymbal because my AAX Studio cracked big time and was in a rush. Needless to say the reviews on this cymbal hit the nail on the head, this cymbal should be double the price just based off the sound that came from it and through the recordings. Very clean, clear and shimmering and it stacks up VERY well along side my AAX's. I highly recommend this cymbal for ANYONE who needs a great low cost cymbal. I am switching over my entire setup from Sabian to Meinl.

When i bought my Tama Drum Kit it came with a set of Meinl HCS cymbals. I was leary at first because i really didn't know alot about the Meinl company and thought i needed to go with Zildgin, Paiste, or Sabian cymbals but after hearing my Step sons Paiste cymbals and listening to my Meinl right next to them i couldnt hear any difference. This crash cymbal is by far my favorite cymbal to hit. Its crisp and has good sustain. I have increased my Meinl cymbal count to 8 now and i am sold on the quality the Meinl company puts out.

I got this crash about a year ago and its been through quite a bit of abuse and it still sounds FANTASTIC!!! Looks great and is perfect for any live situations of all genres!! GREAT BUY!!!

I got this cymbal with a kit about 1 year ago and it is FANTASTIC!! It has been through quite a bit of abuse and it still sounds beautiful! It looks great and the sound is perfect for live situations and any genre!! GET THIS

I got the MCS cymbal pack as pretty much my first full set of cymbals, not counting the trash can lid that came with my kit, and I was amazed at the crash. It sounds professional and is perfectly balanced with any music. I recommend the pack to anyone, beginner or professional.
