Stagg 14" Crash, 10" Splash Reviews 
3 / 5 based on 1 reviewsI have come to tell you all about stagg cymbals. I only have one Stagg cymbal, a 10" splash, but I have also played an 8" and a 14" crash from them. Here's my thoughts:
Stagg splashes are great for the price, I got a 10" for only £35!, but I do also think that the crashes are not quite so good. The splashes are useful, depending on what you are wanting to do with them. They create a very cutting, thrashy splash noise, about medium sustain, and really act more like very fast crashes.
The problems with Staggs are like this:
They are not very versatile. Stagg Splashes can only really be used in a few situations, especially the 10", because they do create such a raw, dry accent. Although this might be hard to understand, they dont have a very glassy sound, even though they are cutting, sort of like a small, crashyer china. Stagg Crashes, I dont find have much quality. They are too raw and trashy for my likeing, even though I like to play the sorts of metal like Korn and Slipknot, I do like a quality sounding, shimmering cymbal, the qualities that these cymbals sdont really give.
They are about medium-medium thin in general, and I find that they are very kind on the sticks, with smooth edges. Still, the overall quality is that of about a lower midrange or midrange cymbal.
I would reccomend these cymbals to anyone with a low budget. A couple of prices:
14" Crash - about £50
10" Splash - bout £25-30
