"Great sound, great price"

Feature:
sounds good quiet or loud

Quality:
I believe it's made well, I've had it for 1 year now and it's still in perfect shape, but I'm also not a really hard hitter. It does NOT sound like a cheap cymbal. No icky overtones or anything.

Value:
It's the most inexpensive, not cheaply made splash I could find. I want nice stuff for my set, for sure, but I don't have ALL the money in the world. I would buy it again if I could find it for $60 again, because I know it's a safe buy and don't necessarily have a reason to buy a different one. I'm also not oppossed to looking around for another splash that might sound even better... but I don't know.. not sure if I'll find a better deal.

Sound:
This is the only splash I've owned so far, I like it, and do consider myself hard to please. I usually don't like Sabians in general, but I do like the nice "caw" sound this cymbal gives. It all depends on who you are though... it's not super splasy but it is light and has a nice sound that's a real contrast to the rest of my cymbals. When picturing the sound, think, "caw". It's fairly loud.

Ease of Use:
?

Support:
?

Overall:
the good sound + the great value = 8 for me

About This Product!
Description
This extra-thin splash features an immediate response that is fast, bright, crisp, and cutting, with instant decay.

About Sabian
When the initial pouring of molten bronze was cooled, rolled, and hammered to create the first Sabian cymbal in 1982, little did the world realize what a formidable success Sabian Ltd. would become. For those familiar with Sabian's dedication to producing the finest instruments possible, this rapid rise in popularity came as no surprise.

Within a decade, cymbals, gongs, and percussion instruments bearing the Sabian ringed logo were the choice of many of the world's leading drummers and percussionists. Today, Phil Collins, Jack DeJohnette, Chad Smith, Mike Portnoy, Evelyn Glennie, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, the Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps, and many more major players are members of the international family of drummers and percussionists affiliated with Sabian.

Their cymbals are crafted with an unparalleled degree of musical quality from the purest and most durable bronze alloys and offered at the fairest possible prices, ensuring acceptance and satisfaction with players of all styles of music and all budget levels.

Innovation and Tradition
As Sabian artists top the charts, the company's reputation for producing high quality, innovative instruments sees Sabian consistently topping both consumer and dealer popularity polls. Modern Drummer magazine readers voted Sabian #1 Most Innovative Cymbal Company and #1 Most Consumer/Service Oriented Cymbal Company, while rocketing sales in over 100 countries have made Sabian the world's leading new choice of cymbal.

Tradition joins innovation as a key factor in this success. With their HH Hand Hammered Series, Sabian is the only major company producing cymbals that are hand hammered in the ancient Turkish manner, a craft imported from Istanbul, the traditional home of cymbal making. At Sabian they take special care to ensure every cymbal in their 7 different series is skillfully crafted to meet our superior standards of quality.

Though still a young name, Sabian has rapidly become a key part of cymbal making history, assuming a lead position by combining innovation and tradition to show the way for cymbal making in the future.
