I would like to start this review off with the fact that I bought this cymbal because it sounds AMAZING! I hit it and from that moment I knew I wanted it.
Within one week I noticed that it began to bend as shown in the pictures I've provided. Not anything too bad but a little noticeable. Well here we are three months in and the cymbal is warped beyond recognition and has now cracked. I figured since it was so malleable that it wouldn't Crack, I was wrong. The only reason this cymbal is getting 3 starts is because I absolutely love the sound. Just expect to replace it around the same time you replace heads and sticks. The lifespan is just the same.

as SABIAN meant it to be...
Warm, Bright, Cutting, excelent response, brilliant, without that metalic sound of other cymbals. I got this after my 16" (same cymbal, different size) Just use it a bit to take out it's real sound. I just complain that it came outside down in the box... some sort of china, i was really worried but after applying some pressure to turn it back to its original troubles ended
