Agreed. But I stress that these are designed for practice at a lower volume than a regular set of hats. They’re not meant to sound great. The bonus is that they’re a super affordable option.
I think I paid 85 on Amazon. They work extremely well to simulate real time playing at a lower volume. Do not waste your $ on fancy low volume Zildjian's. For that money buy regular cymbals and put cymbal mute pads on them. The 18" is actually a crash/ride. I have yet to see one break on utube. I have seen these same cymbals on guitar center used cymbal site for $49 for the ride. $49 for the 18" crash/ride.
i wouldnt call them a budget cymball..maybe just cheaper cymbals compared to a brand name... I think Zildjian is great, but that doesn't make them the Gods of cymbals. Their A customs are the only good series they have imo. I think these cymbals sound better
Honestly, I’ve been playing over 20 years and have never cracked a cymbal. I’m renown where I play for being a loud drummer, but I’ve never cracked a cymbal. I don’t think these would crack. I think my thin cymbals would crack long before these would. These are a great, cheap alternative to more expensive low volume cymbals if you are just using them to practice.
@@BluequackerDrums-lr6bm Great! I plan to buy a set to put triggers on them so the drummers will quit complaining about my e-kit lol. I can use mics for triggering drum shells, but mics on cymbals just pick up too much bleed. Thanks, for letting me know 😎
I have the high hats and they are all right sounding for the money. And about cracking, these are made out of steel according to Amazon, so more durable then bronze or brass
They're meant to be practice cymbals. I think they are great at being that. The worst part about them are the hi hats, BUT I care more about them feeling like a real cymbal when I hit them with a stick or chirp with my foot. If you're worried about the frequency, I'm afraid I can't answer and you'll have to listen to them for yourself in person. A suggestion I have is to wear some headphones or hearing protection of some kind that will dampen the sound even more (at least for yourself).
