High-Fidelity Sound from the Brain of Dave Weckl

SABIAN Cast B20 AlloyCrafted from a centuries-old recipe, pure SABIAN B20 Bronze is the pinnacle of casting material as it pertains to cymbal crafting. It’s precise formula of Bronze, Tin, and Silver provides a wide range of frequency, making it easily the most musical casting produced. | Brilliant Finish / Pinpoint LathingA highly polished, brilliant finish for extra glassy texture and high end shimmer. Our modern pinpoint lathing creates a faster explosive sound with a quicker response. | Hand HammeredEach strike adds an extra layer of complexity to the texture of these warm bodied instruments. Our skilled Artisans hit these 3,000 times before a drummer strikes it once. |

Iv been using A customs for years decided to venture out and chose this one. It sounds great but I like the brilliants of As
But still it blends in good and works good
Sabian calls it dark and complex… that’s a very accurate description I feel.
Not just a crash, but a beautiful ride as well. Very fine definition and musical wash…a gem!
This is by far, my favorite cymbal! Very Explosive sound. I’m only giving it 4 stars because the brilliant quickly tarnishes, but nothing that Crazy John’s Brilliant Finish cymbal cleaner won’t fix…..highly recommended
Nice Cymbal. this line is more brilliant in sound than the darker paragon line which I also own. The evolution is the perfect line for every setting, nice tonality without unwanted overtones, it washes really nice and sound is crispy. Highly recommended.
After trying several 19″ and 20″ cymbals, I arrived back at what I already use …. Evolution. Nothing better IMHO.
If you’re looking for a cymbal that can provide a huge crash as well as a substantial, shimmering flow of smooth riding, this is your tool for the job. Sounds amazing in both studio and live applications. I use it for rock/indie/r&b styles and I couldn’t be happier…try it!
he most impressive dish I think the truth has a volume filling super nice and short at any time is amazing how good this dish sounds like I am to do with my sound full plate in my battery maybe a 18 inch thanks
This cymbal is everything you wish for on a crash great response at all volume, is like a cristal breaking when you hit it, the only thing I don`t like (and thats why i give 4 star) is the extra polish finish i always love the things that show more roots of the material that are made of, and if you or some one else grab this cymbal whit their hands the finger print will stay in the polish finish and some friends whit old sabian cymbals told that if you don`t clean it up riaght away the cymbal will be mark whit that finger print foreve
Word of warning, though – you can’t choose what finish you get, i.e. silver, gold, hammered, etc. But if that’s okay with you as it was for me, go ahead and buy it now.
