They were all Zildjians I could see the logo...the
cymbals sounded great...but I must say, the bass
guitar was very over powering to the point (from where
I was sitting) that it drowned out the harmony vocals
and distorted the low end woofers, but when I could
hear the cymbals, they were nice and crisp...the
hand-hammered cymbal looked like it had some of the
edges cut off...they looked flat instead of round,
just a small section of the edging was shaved
off...wasn't a perfectly found cymbal (it was the top
mounted ride I am speaking of)
