These cymbals are good for any level drummer. Ive had them for about 4 months now and no cracks or dents or anything. The crash has a deep tone but thats not a bad thing, and the Hi Hats sound amazing closed or open. Overall these cymbals are awesome and if ur at any level i highly recommend you buying these.

I have been a drummer for a little while (about 6 or 7 years) but I always played on other sets or borrowed a friend's set to play on, untill I got my own junky Ludwig kit. I bought these cybals because like most people I have very little funds to spend on cymbals. I've played better cymbals before but these are not too bad. Worth the money for sure and they like getting hit hard. My only suggestion is to buy the pack with the 14 inch hi-hats instead because my snare drum on the kit I have outweighs the hi-hats a little bit even after I put a dry geneva head on it. Good cybals for a starting kit, but don't forget to buy a crash cymbal. The crash/ride is not the sound I was going for. Save up and get a Z custom.

I'm a got these when I started drumming, and I still have them right next to me.

These are GREAT for begginers, they were great for me. The price is unbeleivable for the quality, they could have improved it just a bit. If you are a begginer you should get these cymbals, there the quality of Zildjians. When I first played them, the "song" of the crash/ride made me very happy.

The only complaint is that is has sort of an anoyying after sound. Besides that, everything rocks. If your thinking of buying these, then do!

I got these cymbals a while ago and they're great! The only thing I have to complain about is, the crash is a little deep tone wise, but that's expected, considering it's a crash, ride. But, that's just me =D The hi-hat rocks. the tone is perfect, and the sound of it open or closed is amazing. The ride on the crash is rwally good also. Overall, really good cymbals.
