How long have you use it? Since February 2005

What is so special that you like most and least?

is a very good cymbal has a bright sound (more than the Zildjian A custom home) that is full and more importantly, it is easy to "driver" because it is fine.
Personally I use it in a metal rock show, when the open hi-hat is not enough and that we need a drumkit that "sends", I jump on this crash and there, with a very heavy in the rhythm deftones-style, it is found there

However, by hitting it gently and completely does not explode because of the size of 18 "gives a crash quite usable in most cool stuff but the sound is still brilliant.
to talk about the sustain, I find the grain pile, it does not last long and yet it is not decay too fast.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

yes and I hesitated to buy the A custom 18 ", the Paiste lacked a bit of character despite the fact that it is very good cymbals

and other brands were too expensive equivalent (and Meinl Bosphorus)

So I saw an ad in and jumped on it!

How would you rate the quality / price?

paid € 140 for OCCAZ and a new value of € 2OO has Baguetterie it was not the great deal but even for € 200 euros is largely correct, I tried again recently and the other crash I have not found sth that satisfy me more than that so ...

With experience, you do again this choice?

yes absolutely! very good but versatile cymbal with a sound unique to her and that's great!
