I have had a cymbal for almost 2 years now and its still holding up great. I hit pretty hard and this cymbal takes it like it's nothing. I wouldnt personally use it as a ride I like to use it as more of a side or groove crash. Sounds amazing for the price tag. It has no signs of any cracking or denting so far but ya overall I rate it a 5/5!! Great cymbal for anyone who wants a good quality cymbal! Paiste makes amazing cymbals!!

For the money the cymbal is realy good. The center has a nice bell tone to it. The ride is good for being an 18 " crash/ride. The crash sound isn't that great on it. I have had mine for about two years and play on weekly and it still is in good shape.

I've had this cymbal for three years now. It came with my first drum set I bought. The bell of this cymbal is freakin amazing. And its great for crash ride combinations. I counted eight different cracks in this thing ranging from 1/4 to 1 inch. The cymbal still sounds awesome. The cracks give it a cool sizzle sound. I still gig with this cymbal. If you want a great cymbal, BUY THIS. just don't hit a hard as me (really hard:-)

Beautiful Sound- Easy on the wallet

This cymbal is an outstanding value for the money. It has a crystal clear ping sound with a very bright musical underlying wash. The bell has a very clear and distinct sound. Although this is touted as a cymbal for beginners, I have heard and played cymbals that cost 3-4 times as much that didn't sound nearly as good. Excellent cymbal for the money.

PST 3 Crash Ride

This acts as a great ride, great stick sound. However, as a crash it is only so so. Not enough power it seems. The bell is nice and loud and cuts through pretty well. Not bad for a sheet cymbal.
