I use this cymbal for the past three weeks, is already quite a few hours of play

I used by evil cymbal pattern before, in 2002 and Paiste Rude, Z'custom, K Zildjian ZXT home, Soundcaster from Meinl, B8 Pro, AA metal X and XS 20 in Sabian.

One day I bought the Signature Reflector Thin China 18 ", and considering the quality of the product, as I was looking for another crash, I am concerned that other reflector model.

This cymbal is particularly surprising. A very bright timbre, clear, defined, and a very serious tone, so this model 16 "in a tone of agreement far more serious than another model that I currently Paiste (18 RUDE Wild Crash). In the multitude of notes it produces, there is a particular, very, very serious, that more is not drowned in the highs, and therefore really adds something to this cymbal is very rich tone .

It has also a good sustain and a good response. It fires very quickly, but without invading the entire soundstage. She is very balanced in terms of dynamics. She can play so repeat it without slowing down, unless the volume becomes unbearable, and without losing accuracy.
Surprisingly too, she is literally vicious and devious, she fled, making his sound really impressive. I had never really heard anything like this before in any of the cymbals that I owned or played.
It is a bit of everything at once without being a character in a cymbal erased in favor of compromise.
I really have nothing to say above, this product is perfect, still show its strength. I think that I would do this choice, even if this cymbal will force me to redo my set to crash. Indeed, having a 16 worse than the 18, her wonder a little problem. So listen well on the Paiste website to get an idea of its tone, assuming that this is not because it is smaller than your crash it will be more acute!

Surprisingly again, this cymbal needs to be oiled. For about ten days, she did not deliver all its power. I found it even really behind. Gradually, she really won power, and now she has a good size, neither too strong nor too weak. His stamp is also enhanced, and that seems characteristic of this series because I have a signature Chinese reflector 18 "which made me exactly the same thing (CF I think this product). Perhaps it is a something that occurs throughout the cymbals directly factory outlet and never played, yet it never happened. I plan to buy a 18 "in the same series, I would not mind if it's same thing!
