"Pintech cymbal disappointment"

Overall: 1.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I probably will order a Roland cymbal even though they cost more.
Sound
Sound quality is fine if your hitting right over the pick-up. If not, the sound degrades rapidly and you hear more rubber pad than drum sound. Really disappointed.
Features
The cymbal had a spring loaded cymbal attachment. It's not deep enough to securely fasten to my Yamamha cymbal stands.
Quality
Appears to be constructed well. No blemishes or defects noted.
Value
No. I expected better performance for the price, considering it costs over twice as much as the other pintech cymbals.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't dealt with them or see the need. The cymbals just don't seem to be as functional as their mesh snares and toms.
The Wow Factor
Didn't buy it for sex appeal. I bought it to have a great sounding, more realistic looking cymbal platform.

Musical Style:

rock
