Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Made of Sabian's B8 bronze, which is known for high pitch and tonal clarity, Chad's Explosions deliver the expected bite—and then some. They have light, regularly spaced hammering marks and are fully lathed. Both models were relatively fast, with focused fundamentals. Like most larger, heavier cymbals, both required a pretty good whack to get the sound moving. The smaller model produced a lingering, edgy upper har-monic like a band saw in Hell's wood shop. The larger one had a broader tonal spectrum, and a lower, though no less powerful dominant pitch."
