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 harmonic 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.
One of MD's editors who has an insatiable appetite for high frequencies loved the 20 1/2" Explosion crash—as a ride!—and the folks at Sabian have confirmed that he is not alone. Surprising for a crash, the stick sound on both models is sufficiently piercing to be heard even amidst crashes."
