Zildjian A Zildjian Series - 8 Inch Splash Cymbal

BEWARE! THIS CYMBAL IS MYSTERIOUSLY 3 TIMES AS EXPENSIVE AS WHEN I GAVE IT A RAVE REVIEW .It cost me £155 and at that price was good value for money. Now it is silly money and way beyond the quality of the cymbal. You have been warned.Sound is pretty subjective, so I'll open with saying that these sound great - To me. Sharp, bright and with good definition. I have said it all before, but you kids are spoilt with the good, cheap musical instruments that are available now - Bllomin' kids, grrrrr, when I was a lad I used to make my drumkits out of Salvation Army hatboxes and dustbin lids, and be grateful for it. Actually, no, thanks mum, you bought me my first second-hand drum kit really for £250. That woud net you a decent new kit now.Suffice to say that my first prog-rock bandmates christened it 'The Junior Jazzman' and when the anguish and barracking became too much I bought a John Bonham monster size Premier kit for myself when I was about 19. I digress...I started drumming when I was 14, nearly 30 odd years ago, now I have stopped and my two sons both play. Back in the 80's the best cymbals could be £200+ and I used to buy them reckoning that they were the Gibson and Fender of cymbals. My sons used my cymbals, but some developed cracks and were replaced by these - I just simply can't get my head around the current prices, they are so so so reasonably priced for such good gear. 30 years ago they would have been about a tenner each at this rate.Honestly, you won't go wrong with Zildjian ever really, but for the money? Money, Money, and so on....

Best splash I've ever bought - really nice, pleasing sound from a teeny cymbal that's on a boom from my heavy ride stand. Couldn't do without out it, for those moments when you want to hit something but a full crash is too much.

Beautiful cymbal.

The box was damaged and the cymbal was covered in a black chalky substance. Totally unacceptable. The item was listed as new!Quite possibly the worst quality of a product I've ever bought from Amazon!

Great crash especially with sizzle beads

Zildjian è sempre una garanzia. Ottimo il suono, nitido e pulito. Lo consiglio per chi vuole uno splash di qualità.

Falsches Produkt und das in schlechter Qualität geliefert!

Cannot go wrong with this one. This is an all around great crash cymbal, and I would guess one of the more wildly used ones out there. I would recommend this to anyone in the market for a professional level crash cymbal. If you're looking for something crazy and unique, this is not the one to get. This is just a simple, great sounding, all purpose crash.

Excellent cymbal !!
