Sound: Just got this pack in. ONLY thing I'm not used to is the high hats, but thats no biggie. Just have to get used to the sound. Everything sounds great, and for the price you cannot possibly go wrong. I realize some people HAVE to find something to complain about, but as a guy who doesn't have a grand to drop on cymbals, I couldn't be more satisfied. Feature: Pack came with a free china. FREE. How can you complain about that? Ease of Use: As stated above, just not used to the hats' sound, but not in a bad way. Just gotta get accustomed to it. Quality: ALL the cymbals in the pack are great. Value: If you need a few cymbals and don't have a grand to drop, DO NOT hesitate to get these. Manufacturer Support: Had no problems, but if their service is anything like their product, I am sure we'll be fine. Overall: Bought 'em as a temporary fix, but will be using them as long as they last. NO need to get anything else.

Sound: For entry level cymbals, these sound pretty good! Out of the box, the ride had just a little too much ring, but a moon gel on the underside fixed that. The hi-hats are more than adequate. The Crash is plenty loud and not too brittle. I have only used the China a handful of times, but it has a unique sound for a china cymbal. If I were playing heavier rock I would definitely use it more often. Feature: They're cymbals... The feature is that you can hit them and they will make noise. Ease of Use: Again, just hit them. Pretty simple I think. Quality: I've been gigging mine heavily for a few months, and early indications are that they will hold up well for a long time. I'm not particularly nice to them, either. Value: In my book these are the best value on the market if you need cymbals but don't have a ton of cash to spare. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with Meinl. Although being owned by Roland, I'm sure they do a fine job of customer support. The Wow Factor: They are shiny. Overall: I anticipate upgrading to better cymbals at some point, but I will use these until they break, even if just on a practice kit. If these were lost or stolen I would definitely replace them.

Sound: The sound is perfect for me, Meinl is the best new cymbal company out there. The claasic china is amazing. Compared to Sabian B8pro but way better i think. There sound is so tight and warm.

Overall: These cymbals look and sound great! I have used cheap cymbal sets in the past, and these sound far from a cheap cymbal set up! The crash is a little dark but I still like it. The ride and hats are great. The China is really unique sounding in a cool way. Never used a china prior to this but I am digging it! Well worth every dollar!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
