Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 17" Effeks cymbal is a different story. Its lathed surface features a slightly inclined outer lip with multiple ridges, “stitched” hammer marks, and three metal rivets that spin and jiggle, making the cymbal very sensitive to the slightest touch. It produced freaky, prickly knocks when slapped with a bare hand. However, I was a bit disappointed by the sound it produced when a stick was used. The hissing decay occupied the lower frequencies, and the cymbal’s natural tone nearly got lost in the overall mix of the band. I think this cymbal would serve best in a folk or avant-garde context, where every nuance can be appreciated. If that was its purpose, then Sabian hit the mark."
