Not the best choice
Been using this set for couple of months. First impressions were very good: the look of the cymbals, the sound is great for their price, free cymbal bag.
But at some point I started to notice that when I'm playing (especially ride) the cymbals are changing heights (while rotating for a little bit). Then I took them off to check, and of course, as I was already expecting, they all were bent on one side. The Hi-Hat Bottom and Ride are especially noticeable. When I put the Hi-Hat cymbals together on top of each other, the hole in the center does not match, there is about 2-3 millimeters difference, so the Bottom Hi-Hat is always overhanging on one side when it's on the hi-hat stand, and also when I put the Bottom Hi-hat on top of the Top Hi-Hat , there is a huge gap between them, and when I do the opposite — no gaps, as it should be.
I don't know, maybe I didn't get the best set, but I think things like that shouldn't happen, and I don’t hit them too hard so they can bend because of that.
Also, there are some fingerprints (from manufacturers?) which are annoying to look at, because I like my cymbals to be clean. And it can't be cleaned with a wipe, need to use special liquid, which I will never use (for obvious reasons). And in general, some strange spots begin to appear, probably due to the metal, but before this happened to me after a couple of years, not months.
In conclusion, I want to say that overall I am disappointed with the purchase. Should have stick to Paiste cymbals, never had any issues with them.
