I have been drumming off and on for 40 years. My first cymbal was a 24" Zildjian and that was all I could afford at the time (in college). Subsequently, I got into Sabian and Paiste, which are also very good. The REZO is the best cymbal that Zildjian has ever made in my opinion. It is beautiful to look at and gives me the fast bright attack I love. I have the 19" already and am considering the 20". They sound different enough to have them as a pair.

I have a full set of Paiste PST5s. Loved their sound regardless of their low price, but since Paiste makes all of their cymbals as sheet, they only lasted about a year and a half before cracking. After 2 busted 16" crashes, I decided it was time to upgrade. Went to the drumstore 3 times just to hit a bunch of cymbals to find what I wanted, finally even bringing up my whole drumset and setting up to find out what I wanted. I like my cymbals bright, very bright, and these and the Paiste Sigs reflectors stuck out as what was what I liked best by far. After an hour of comparing these and the sigs on my kit and annoying the snot out of the guys there I settled on a 17" one of these. They're very bright, sound very clean, and unlike the the sigs, cast so they'll last a long while. I tried out a full set of both the Rezos and the Sigs and preferred the sigs overall, but they were very similar. I hope to eventually upgrade to Rezos all around but am going to wait until the rest of my PST 5s crack to do so. Can't wait till then though! This cymbal is great!!!

The ReZo 17" crash cymbal is my new favorite of my collection. The lathing is excellent, and it sounds great. It has cutting attack, and quick decay. It a little harsher than the A zildjians, and not as mellow, but it still sounds great. Live, it sounds perfect enough to be on a recording. It says medium thin in weight, but if you hit with proper technique, it is just as druable as any other cymbal. It will last forever with barely any marks of use. Also, it looks great!

This cymbal is AMAZING! I love it! I used to have a 16 inch fast crash, but it cracked. So I got a 17 inch Rezo and I have been pleased from the very first hit. BUY IT!!
