Type and Construcion
:
It's a 17" thin crash in brilliant finish. It uses the industry standard b20 alloy. It has fine lathing throughout the cymbal, and it's in brilliant finish.
Sound Quality
:
No Opinion
When I first got it, it was bright and had a good attack as well as a good swell. Over time the cymbal really mellowed out (which I love) and is very tamable.
Reliability/Durability
:
No Opinion
Very durable especially for its thickness, as long as you don't choke it on the stand. I've had it for 2-3 years without ANY signs or wear (besides the typical aging cymbal look) no keyholing at all and absolutely no signs of cracking any time soon.
Customer Support
:
No Opinion
I paid an extra $35 to get a 2 year warranty from guitar center. Don't recommend it though cause I never used the warranty at all.
Overall Rating
:
9
I love this cymbal and it has been the longest cymbal in my collection and I have no plans of replacing it, and if it were to break I'd probably get either exactly the same one or a similar A Custom. I love the sound. It doesn't really sound that unique though it's just a really really good standard cymbal.
