Sabian 18" AA Medium Crash Reviews

On 2002-12-26, M.H. rated this Sabian 18" AA Medium Crash a 5...(3591)


Purchase: I bought the cymbal at Music City in St. John's, Nf. for $140.
Pros: Amazing clarity and decay. Bright, yet warm tone. Really comes through on recordings. Very versatile sound, appropriate for a wide variety of music genres.
Cons: When I bought it there were some non-removable fingerprints (a fault of the retailer). But for Sabian in general, their clean cream really does do a good job on the cymbal, but it also removes the label from the cymbal! This has happened on every Sabian cymbal I own. The cymbals need to be cleaned often, otherwise you get green stains on it (especially on the underside) I am assuming this is possibly a formation of a copper oxide from any moisture in the environment.
Quality: The quality and construction is outstanding, as all Sabian cymbals are.

Review Summary: This is an excllent cymbal. Worth every penny. You won't be dissappointed.
