I buy all of my cymbals with a warranty just in case in breaks I have been doing that for years and thats good for me. I like Sabians more than Zildjians I think Zildjian has done poorly with their lines. I hope Sabian can save my life with more lines to chose from and then some.

This is by far the best crash I have ever used! I got the 17" inch and it's outstanding! I have some Zildjian A's, K's, Sabian Paragon crashes, and this is by far my most favorite crash. It's very clean and warm! Get it! You won't regret it!

This is a great crash cymbal for any kind of rock/heavy metal music. It has a great, full sound and a nice ring. It is great for crash-riding as well. You have to play it for a week or so to get it to really open up, but once it does it is amazing. It sounds extremely great live too. I'm buying the 17" as soon as I can afford it. The only downside is that these (like all cymbals) hit your wallet a little hard.

I had the 18 inch crash and for the last two years and after serious abuse it finally cracked...truley broke my heart. The sound it has is unstopable and its my favorite crash.

I own an 18" natural finish crash. This baby can leave you deaf in an instant. This is prove that Sabian is the greatest cymbal maker on Earth. Don't look elsewhere if you want an excellent crash that can scream if you want to or sing for soft music this is what you are looking for.
