SeriesZildjian A Custom Projection

I boght this cymbal from Drumwright for about £180. I could have got it for about £160 from anothre place but they were so helpful at drumwright i Thought id spend the extra £20! This is a Great Sounding cymbal. I know, everyone says that when they get new cymbals, I thought my SOlars were Ace when i first got them!. But it depends, for example, I use it for metal/rock music, heavy punding, needing durability . Although being fairly thin, the crash has held amazingly well after a couple of months of pounding, not even a dint! Its fairly resistant to stick marks (you wouldnt want to harm this beauty). It has a washy, mdium-high pitched sound, not as piercing as say, a Paiste rude or 2002, but a brilliant warm, rich sound with a lovely bit of raw glistening sort of "glassiness". Quite thin, but it still lasts. Zildjians in general are very expensive, but they are quality cymbals, so you pay for what you get. The cymbal has a slight bit too much trashiness at its peak volume i think. Great quality, as expected of a Zildjian. Been basjing it for 2 months ad it has held perfectly no dints no scratches nothing. I would suggest at least 1 zildjian in your setup. They are great quality, and add a nice flavour of sound to your kit. I would like to give this 5, but ill give it 4 because of its bad points.
