Review Sabian Pro 16
 
 
 

Review by a visitor on 18.2.2004




i got this cymbal off ebay new for around 60 pounds, the rrp is meant to be around the 95 pound mark.

 
 
  Features  
 
this is a sheet bronze cymbal, but dont let that put you off, its got to be the highest quality sheet bronze ive played and performs well under mediem loudness. its got a shimmering peak that cuts through the music but when you start to really smack it, it dosent handle it so well. it is a medium thin though so if your a hard hitter then i suppose you could use the stage or rock crashes which are heavier. it reacts quickly with a medium decay
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
this is a sheet cymbal so each one will be moreorless the same, and its sound can be used at anytime and fit well with alot of styles of music, as long as you use bright shimmering accents. this cymbal will out perform the zildjian sheet brnoze crashes for sound quality as is has a much cleaner sound, i think the zildjian rrpnulls are a bit cheaper than this model though, so you get what you pay for.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
this cymbal is a great buget cymbal, and does its job well. the sound quality is not good enough to mistake it for a real expensive cymbal though.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
ive had this cymbal for around 4 months and there have been no problems so far.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
i think that if your going for an upgrade from the crappy cymbals you get in your kit like powerbeats or something, this is the best you can do. it is a bit more expensive than other sheet bronzes but i think the sound quality is that much better. this aint the cymbal for you if you want a serious serious crash cymbal
