Beautiful cymbals
I bought these to replace my beginners cymbals and to accompany the new shell set I was buying. When they arrived (in a cymbal bag no less) i was stunned. The contrast of rustic and brilliant really made them stand out. I was definetely not dissapointed with the sound aswell. I particularly like the sound of the ride on which I often use my sizzler.
Pros:
- The set has a very nice sound, quite dark (especially the ride despite it not being loud enough).
- As I've said, beautiful
- Comes with a cymbal bag
- Looks great with my deep cherry Gretsch Catalina set
Cons:
- The shiny parts are so brilliant that the slightest touch will leave fingerprints (Not really a con though, just clean them).
- As someone else mentionned, the rustic parts make your sticks dirty, so new drum heads will become dirty quite fast.
- The bag only has one compartment and feels quite lightweight
- The ride isn't as loud as I'd like
The cons are only slight inconveniences. Overall a good quality set.

Great value for money
These is the first cymbal set I bought myself, but I played quite a few cymbals before. For the money, this is a fantastic set. It really shines when you lay into these cymbals. Crashes open up beautifully when hit hard. The highlight for me was the ride. Nice stick sound, lively wash and a beautiful piercing bell.
They also record really well, although being on the louder side they probably most at home at louder gigs.
Would definitely recommend for heavier music players.
Cons: Might not be the best choice for quieter music.

16" & 18" replaced.
I still have the hi-hats and the ride but sadly the 16" cracked after 5 moths / 6 nights a week and the 18" cracked soon after. As of today Thomann have replaced the 16" and I have the 18" waiting to be returned. They sounded fine and looked fabulous out of the box but I don't consider myself a heavy hitter at all so to crack them both after only a few months is disappointing. Also, the bar where I play is small so I simply have to play very controlled for at least a third of the gig and only really start to play at volume for the last third. Loved the look and liked the sound but the double breakage was a shame. I hope it was a one off because these were lovely out of the box.

at a glance - processing - the cymbals are nice ... aurally, however, the cymbals are at a low level ...
especially the ride cymbal is a big disappointment for me ... right after that the worst cymbal is hi-hat ... crash cymbals are acceptable ... but for me the two most important cymbals - ride + hi-hat - are a big disappointment ... already I experienced worse cymbal sets - far worse - but with these cymbals I had higher expectations and therefore even more disappointing :(
... after a few weeks of using cymbals, I have to reconsider the original evaluation ... I stand by my initial words, but somehow I got used to the sound and even started to like it ... I just came to taste the cymbals ... and that's why I additionally modify the rating and add two more stars :) ... but I keep the original text, because the initial impression was not good ...

nice set
these are a nice set of cymbals for the drummer on a budget but are not loud enough for a rock environment. i imagine they would be great for a recording/studio situation as they have a nice clean sound. they do lack in volume though.
well made product though and great for the price.

Only complaint is that the 16" does leave a bit to be desired, otherwise, these are great cymbals for the price.

Fantastic Cymbals
I've had these for almost a year now, and I can honestly say that their sound and build quality are on par with much more expensive equivalents from the bigger name brands. I love the versatility of the Q series, and can't wait to try out some of the other series as well.
