For the price this pack is great, hats are decent, mine lasted about 3 years before they started to crack, after playing on the crash/ride for a bout 7 years I decided it was time to part with it, the ride was decent as a light ride, ok as a heavy crash, but for metal...ride the crap outta it...IT WILL NEVER BREAK!!! all in all, worth it, if your starting, or buying for your student, or on a tight budget, get em or play your crappy brass cymbals!

I've played drums for about five. About a year ago our church bough the B8 set. The crash is much to thick and the Hihats are to deep sounding. think twice before buying the B8 pack!

I got this when I got my drumset, and at first they seemed ok, but now that I'm playing and getting more serious into drumming, they're not sounding too good. The rides alright, but the hi hats are terrible...don't get this set if you're looking for decent hi hats. Mine are so bent and messed up, and I don't even hit hard....I've had them for about 4 months. So I'd say save your money on this one..Sabian makes good quality, just kinda lost it here.

I got this when I first started playing. Sure, they're no pro cast bronze cymbals, but they're amazing for starting out on your first drum kit.

When playing the music I play, these cymbals are just what I need and no more than that. The crash/ride is perhaps the best part of this package, because it makes for good accents and is very versatile. The hats produce overtones, but that is to be expected from budget cymbals, but it shouldnt matter because almost all of the overtones get covered up by the music. They are good cymbals if you know anything about the difference between cast cymbals (AA, AAX) and sheet cymbals (B8, B8Pro, ProSonix). If you want to compare the cymbals to anything, compare cast cymbals to cast cymbals and sheet cymbals to sheet cymbals. Comparing the two is about as fair as comparing professionals to beginners. But besides that I am completely satisfied with this and recommend it to any beginner-intermediate drummer with a low budget.
