Sabian Review: Solar

History:

Purchase: I bought the set of 13" hi-hats, 14 " crash and 20" ride from 'www.poole-percussion.co.uk' for £79.00. I bought them to upgrade slightly from the terrible beginner cymbals that came with my kit.

What I Like About This Sabian Solar: I like the hi-hats. They make a short, crisp sound, and are surprisingly good for a beginner set. The ride is also good as it creates a pleasant ring and is a good addition to any jazz/rock musician.

What I Do NOT Like About The Sabian Solar: The crash isn't to the best standard, it has a slight 'tinny' sound but it is quite good, as you should not expect the best quality from a beginner set like Solar.

Sabian Solar Quality Rating: The quality is generally good. The finish is very nice, a brilliant finish and the cymbals are not flimsy. Of course, any drummer should have the ability to break any cymbals!, but these should last a while.

Review Summary: Generally good set. A very reasonable price, and decent quality. Highlights are hi-hats and ride. An excellent buy on a restricted budget!

Rating of this Sabian product: 4
