Ultimately guys, listening to cymbals through your computer speakers will not give you the true sound of the cymbal. Mega’s shop test will prove that – we will play you for example a Sabian 18” AAX Thin Crash live then play you that exact same cymbal recorded from a competitor’s web site. There simply is no comparison. It may be convenient buying online – but is it worth it?

To chose your dream cymbal the following points must be achieved:

• Hear the cymbal live – each cast cymbal will be vastly different (even from the same batch – brand and model)
• Hear the cymbal behind the drumkit, then stand infront of the kit and listen to it while someone else plays
• Listen to it in context of your other cymbals
• Play the cymbal with exactly the sticks you use
• Pick it up and feel the weight

Don’t risk buying someone else’s lemon. Hear it and touch it to be certain!
