Mine's

2, 3, 1, 4.

I don't like the B8 cymbals at all. They sound cheap.

[MackBruce12]

the B8 caught me off guard. It wasnt that bad

@Meykeeeee personally i hate sabian but that xplosion fast crash was ok sabian is just trashy of a cymbal not well made and ive seen more broken sabians then zildjian

[sample21383]

For me, 3-2-1-4

I love the glassy, bright-dark, cutting tone of the K Custom Hybrid cymbals.

I also love the AAX X-Plosion too. Nice cut, explosive & bright. BUT i prefer the ordinary X-Plosion crashes... Not X-Pliosion Fast crash.

@Hannibu I think that might be the point actually, just to give people an understanding of why the better cymbals cost more. On the test video, almost everyone put 4 as their last pick, and 3 and 1 as their top two. I guess it just goes to show that there is an audible difference. Agreed though, it didn't sound too bad.

[Hannibu]

The test is not really fair.

The Sabian B8 is only half the price of the others. Its like comparing a Fiat 500 with a BMW 520.

With this in mind the B8 doesn't sound that bad.

[mcrfreako1011]

woah the sabian b8 was a shocker.

[DeeWdrum]

i dont like sabians, but that zildjian wast the best ive heard either like the paiste better but though if i had to choose i prefer zildjians over anything my personal favorite is paistes

[joshuachan56]

3,2,4,1

The B8 is too bright and too cutting... That crash sucks.

The K Custom Hybrid is bright and dark at the same time (that's the purpose of the crash) and has a nice cut to it.

The AAX is too low pitched for a 16" crash but it is still nice.

The Paiste is "meh..."

[DSCRAPRE]

Pie-sty rhymes with fiesty.
