When I opened the box I was impressed with the look of the work on the cymbal taking consideration of price compared to cymbals of the same size it ain't perfect but, once you've played it, you will understand your really getting a great deal more than anyone else offers.
Great for indoor playing no lingering overtone, just what I needed,. So I got the 18" too it's the best cymbals I've bought that have not cost a fortune but do the good for home recording.
