I've got two of these, a 19" and a 17" and i have to say, i'm very happy with them both. they sound really great individually or together. they arent the loudest cymbals out there, and i'm not sure id reccomend them for any really heavy metal abuse. but other than that, they're very versatile, all purpose crashes. rolls on these are wonderful. to put it simply, they sound like a crash should.

I'm sorry to rain on everyone's party but these cymbals just don't sound good. They look great, but they break to fast, so if you're going to get cymbals for jazz, this is what you want. If you want them for hard rock on the other hand, these are terrible.

These cymbals would still be worth buying if only because they look amazing, but the sound they create makes them more than amazing. I carry ten signature series on my kit and the versatility they give you is just sweet music to any music fans ears. I would, how ever, recommend that you get the extended warranty. If you are hard on your cymbals as I am, it might not be such a bad idea. Two of mine have cracked but they were within the warranty period and they were replaced. I've had them now five years and they still sound awesome!

Amazing Crash Cymbal. I own the 16" and it is by far the best sounding crash I have ever heard. Way better sounding then HHX or K's. The price is a little high but I'm saving for an 18" now. These crashes can fit perfectly into any style of music that you want to play. Everytime I hit this cymbal it sounds so great, if god played cymbals these are what he'd get. Paiste is the only way to go.

Unlike my previous cymbals in every way imaginable. The decay is short and sweet, rolls on it are simply amazing, this cymbal is a must have for any drummer disiring a more broad range of sound, this cymbal fits in perfectly with my creative stile of drumming. Buy IT
