VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Excellent value for a complete cymbal pack. The B8's sound pretty balanced. The hats are a little high-pitched and slightly harsh, but give a pretty wide range of responses from the closed chick to the wide open hits. They are better than I anticipated, and much better than what I was prepared for, based on the low price. The 18" crash projects well, but the 16 inch crash is chintzy-sounding, and not very loud. Neither crash is what I would term full-bodied, but I definitely appreciate the fast decay of the crashes- they don't ring forever. The ride sounds pretty full, and was not nearly as harsh as I anticipated, although I was hoping for a more defined ping- the response decay is slow, so the cumulative ringing is fairly pronounced. The bell is very cheap sounding- not really a surprise overall. The cymbals are much heavier than I anticipated, and look just fine. I bought these for my rehearsal kit, so I was not expecting to buy recording-quality sound. All in all, I am pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of these cymbals, and you can't beat the price. I expect to get a long life from these as well- I am not a super heavy hitter, but I am not a jazz dude, either.

Sound: i love the sounds of the hi hats and the 16 inch crash and the free 18 inch crash is nice too. I didn't really like the sound of the ride only becuase i found it a little pingy.These cymbals are loud and very bright sounding there perfect for any kind of drummer. Feature: In my pack it was originally suppose to be a 20" ride a 16" crash and 14" hi-hats but free inside the box i got a remo ambassador snare head a piar of vic firths a cymbal bag and a free 18" crash so it was pretty cool. Ease of Use: you just have to hit them. Quality: the quality is really good theses cymbals will probaly last me forever. Value: i got $230 worth of free stuff so the value is good. Manufacturer Support: haven't needed support The Wow Factor: They are very shiny and attract attention so they are pretty good in this department. Overall: These cymbals will probably stay with me until i decide i just want something different sounding or something happens to them. If they did break i would probably replace them for some higher end sabians because they always sound good.

Sound: I use them primarily in my basement. They were overpowering, so I muffled them with varying amts. of sticky pads. Now they sound just right... been playing them like that for two years now. Feature: Excellent for the $$! It came w/ hi-hats, 16", 18", 20" and a hardshell case... can't beat it. Quality: No problems with them in 2 years of playing. Value: Well worth every penny. Manufacturer Support: No probs, no need to reach 'em. The Wow Factor: Awesome purchase. Overall: If I were to change products, it would only be to get a new sound. I doubt that'll happen, though.
