MGR/Chris Mack « Zildjian 16" A Rock Crash »
Published on 02/19/02 at 15:00I bought it at Sam Ash for about $140. I was compelled to purchase it after buying cheaper cymbals and having them crack. I finally decided to go with the classic.
Pros:
-The sound is very bright and full.
-It is extremely durable and the tone maintains its integrity at extremely high volumes or at a quiet brush stroke.
Cons:
-The cymbal surface is prone to stick marks.
-Sometimes not as fast as you'd like it.
I have only had it for a short period(about 3 months), but it seems to be good as new still, even after repeated extreme volumes sessions. I would say it is one of the most durable cymbals I ever owned. The overall quality of the Ziljdian A's are well worth the extra money over a cheaper style or brand.
Not only do I beleive this to be an excellent cymbal, but just the fact of owning one of the most ancient and traditional percussion instruments in the world makes this an excellent value. Take care of ANY Zildjian A, and you'll have her for life.
