Review: Review: "Sabian's Cymbal Discs are heavy slabs of metal shaped very much like those other CDs: compact discs. They come in 6", 8", and 10" diameters, and, when struck, emit a clear, bell-like tone. We're basically talking specialty item here— albeit a very interesting one. Unlike crotales, Sabian's CDs are not pitched to specific notes— though two or three of them can still be worked into some sort of "melodic" pattern. A word of caution, though: Though Sabian does offer single and triple CD holders with rubber, nipple-like pedestals (such as those found on cymbal display trees in stores), these don't allow the CDs to be clamped down. When you hit them carefully and on their edges, like they're supposed to be hit, you shouldn't have any trouble. But if you smack one a little too hard (either accidentally, during a flurry of 32nd notes around your toms, or intentionally during a passionate musical interlude), they could come flying off. And I personally wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of these dense little airborne babies. It's just a thought, so consider experimenting with one on a standard cymbal stand— maybe some cheap one buried away in your attic."
