"Simply unbeatable at or near this price range."

Feature:
What can I say, B8 bronze has a better sound to me than B20.

Quality:
No complaints. I've had Paiste cymbals made from the same B8 alloy last for 20 years. I have no reason to expect otherwise from this one. The Zildian crash this replaces didn't last 3 years.

Value:
Definitely worth the price and to my ear, the PST 5 series sounds better than the Alpha series, which costs more.

Desirability:
It looks great, it plays great. I recommend it to anyone looking for a crash cymbal who doesn't want to have to spend $200 to get one. Having used Zildians before, I would recommend this one before a comparable or slightly higher quality Zildian.

Sound:
Nice good ring to it; superior to that of Zildian and Sabian B20 crashes, which tend to sound more like just high-frequency hissing to me. Can't beat it for the money. I've had it for at least 6 months now and still in new condition; I hit this sucker pretty hard sometimes. I have a Paiste 16" rock crash, which is a tad bit thicker and has more sustain, and a Paiste 20" ride. This cymbal fits quite nicely into my ensemble.

Ease of Use:
Although I strike this cymbal pretty hard sometimes, you don't need to in order to get great sound out of it. It's not going to produce as good quality sound though if it's hit softly.

Support:
Haven't needed to contact support.

Overall:
I don't anticipate needing to replace this one for quite some time as the other Paiste cymbals in my setup have all lasted 15-20 years. Next Paiste purchases I would need would be an 18" crash or crash-ride and an 18" China.

"You can't go wrong with this cymbal."

Feature:
Product came exactly as shown, no disappointments.

Quality:
The cymbal quality is what I have come to expect from other Paiste products.

Value:
Excellent sound for the price, very pleasantly surprised.

Desirability:
Integrates well with the rest of my setup. Product has an excellent finish.

Sound:
Sounds similar to the 2002 crash, but a bit less refined. Excellent sound for the money.

Ease of Use:
This cymbal integrates well with the rest of my Paiste set. When I started drumming I used Zildjian cymbals, but they didn't have the sound I was looking for. This cymbal has the Paiste "sound" that the others do. It seems to have a better sound though, when struck with medium strikes, rather than softer ones.

Support:
Haven't had to contact Paiste for support.

Overall:
I expect to be using this cymbal until it is no longer playable.
