MGR/Punkdrummer No.1 « Sabian 16" AAX Studio Crash »
Published on 02/06/02 at 15:00I bought this from Drumbank Music near where I live in Bristol for about £85 (GBP)
I really like the way it can be used in lots of different kinds of music; when I was looking at it in the shop I played it lightly with my hand it responded beautifully, with a steady build-up. When played quietly it responds quite slowly with a gradual build-up, but it can also be hit really hard and give a great dark crash before fading out slowly. It works well on my kit because it is darker then my other 16" crash and they can be used with my crash-ride to go down in tone and darkness with the music
It was 2nd hand but hardly used so the price was good, but normally the price is a bit steep for someone like me on a TIGHT budget. Also, it is a tiny bit (and I emphasise, tiny) dark and warm for the music I am playing at the moment which is mainly punk and HC, but because it is in my house with my family trying to live alongside it works quite well, hence the 'studio' name
As with most Sabians this cymbal is beautifully finished, looking fantastic on my kit compared to my cheaper cymbals which I am gradually replacing. The actual materials used can be found on www.sabian.com
I think this cymbal really works out well for people looking for a cymbal that could cope with most style of music, as it sounds great played loud or quiet. Overall, I'm really pleased with it!
