I added this drum cymbal to my setup just a few months ago, and I'm really impressed with its performance! The sound quality is exceptional, striking a perfect balance between bright and dark tones, which suits a variety of musical styles from jazz to metal. It has become my go-to cymbal for any genre. Its durability is also noteworthy, standing up to intense playing sessions without showing any signs of wear. Overall, I highly recommend this cymbal to any drummer looking to enhance their sound and performance.
P.S. I rated the quality 4/5 because the cymbal arrived with minor dent on the edge. However, the Meinl Pure Alloy 18" Medium Crash, which I also ordered alongside this one, arrived intact without any damage. So, I deducted one point for that.
Edit: After playing this cymbal for 6 months, a crack started to spread from the dent on its edge, even though I didn't hit it hard and my technique for striking cymbals is correct.
