before i get flammed and have a bunch of people on my back about the travis barker stuff and or blink 182 being crap i like it your not the one drumming to it i am XD

i use pst5 rock cymbals and i am very pleased with them. they have a nice warm and powerful sound. they are way louder then any other cymbals in the price range.

good to see your pleased with you purchase i hate puchasing something and regreting it so anoying but anyways i have a question about the rock ride does it sound any good crashed?

it is a powerfull sound....not like an ordinary crash. anyway, i like it but i don't use my ride as a crash. a ride is a ride and a crash is a crash. if you crash your ride you put it under a lot of stress so this isn't a good ideea. i use an 18" rock crash instead.

yer i know what you mean it just i sometimes crash my ride atm for punk rockish songs u kno like blink i dont usually do it thats what i baught my 18" zbt rock crash for something trashy but its got horrible overtones , so what are the hats like?

the hats are awsome. both opened and closed. very loud....i play gigs without mics on my pst5s.

they are way better compared to b8, b8pro, zbt, zxt....i had the chance to hear all these models at the drumshop and pst5 pleased me the most.

they all have long sustain

tyvm for your help very much apreciated sorry if i asked to many questions just i am set on getting a good new cymbal and i dont want to be dissapointed with it once i get some revies on the universal set i shall make my decision tyvm much apreciated

hey man, no problem. that's why we are here for. go 4 it. try some other cymbals as well. the pst 5 rock was the best choice for me, but you may like smth else.

to sum up, pst5 is a good intermediate cymbal line and i am so pleased withe them so far. if you buy them, just let me know what u think.

good luck.
