I bought these for my son. He is twelve but has literally been playing 11 years. He has a complete Pearl Drum kit in his bedroom. He’s had all the name brand cymbals. I bought these sort of as a stocking stuffer. But when I say he hasn’t stopped playing for at least 3 hours that’s what I mean. If nothing else, he loves them right now. I hope they hold up.

These cymbals are great , was looking for low volume cymbals that I could use with Remo silent stroke heads , these allow for that .
You can hear the rest of the kit .
I tried the other model which was great also called mosico low volume, but those are a little louder to where those would be good for real heads and not mesh .
My dislike is the way it’s delivered.
They’re not in the extremely thin cymbal case that comes with the set , and the box is barley protecting the edges of the cymbals .
I would recommend a little more cardboard on each side of the box to protect the cymbal edges .
And put them in the bag when shipped .
Otherwise , highly recommend for low volume heads and cymbal combo

Los platillos tardaron un poco más de lo que se estipuló pero valió cada segundo!! La Serie Viking 100% recomendada!!!

this product is complete junk… save your money… they are paper thin and constructed of the cheapest metal or alloys I have ever seen… I literally bent one in half with my bare hands… for real, save your money…

Son baratos, ligeros y sirven el proposito!, me gustaron en general todos los platillos excepto el china, o tal vez no estoy acostumbrado al sonido que hace este tipo de platillo, es la primera vez que tengo un china.
En general los califico muy bien ya que son baratos y para un principiante y sin gastar mucho, te dan lo necesario para tener tu bateria completa!. Los recomiendo mucho!

I’m shocked at how good these steel cymbals sound, they are interesting enough to mix with real b20 cymbals. They are also really responsive to play like Zildjian A and S. That makes these Aborian Brilliant Gold Hero Series for 150 the best sounding cheapest cymbals. if you want to spend more but still save money hear are some other bargins, if you want to pay 350 you can get a B20 cymbal set from Fans on Alibaba. after that Mehteran on Reverb gives you Byzance grade cymbals at half price.

(This review is intended for seasoned drummers looking for cheap practice gear)
Ok, so I went in on these thinking it might be too good to be true, since my research has turned up that they’re allegedly B20 alloy (though they look uncannily like brass… hmmm), and I was partly correct. While they’re far from useless, they’re also not quite what is advertised. Here’s the details:
So when I got these in my hands for the first time, I noted how remarkably light the package was for containing five “ALLOY” (which one?) cymbals. Once I set them up and gave them a try, I realised the game they’re playing here:
Fair warning: The supposed hi-hats and ride cymbal are as thin as the two crashes supplied, and I’m pretty sure they are just crash cymbals that have been mislabeled. Hi-hats are meant to have one heavier cymbal on the bottom and the pair are the exact same weight, and the ride cymbal simply doesn’t really ‘ride’ like it’s supposed to. It behaves like a thin-crash when you try to ride it, extremely hard to keep it from washing even when hitting it very lightly. They are also incredibly thin, while still also being the most responsive (probable) brass cymbals I’ve yet heard. So it’s a mixed bag. I seem to have bought five crash cymbals by accident, but luckily they all crash pretty nicely (the hats sound like a splash cymbal when hit individually, you could probably make some really cool sizzle cymbals out of these). They are also VERY thin and probably won’t stand up to too much force before cracking, so play them a bit lightly than normal if you’re a heavy-handed drummer, and be sure to side-swipe them as opposed to playing down thru the cymbal. My new plan is to just replace the hat and ride with more solid stuff and use the Arborea ride as another crash since that’s most definitely what it actually is, and luckily it sounds decent…
… Which segues nicely into the good qualities: If these are in fact simply mislabeled brass cymbals, they are the most responsive and musical brass cymbals I’ve yet played. I suffered thru a number of Solar and SBR-type fiascos, and none of them projected for as long as these do or sounded as pleasant. So they’re either brass lathed incredibly thin so they’ll actually express, or they actually are some form of maybe B8 alloy or better. The crashes perform well! Perfectly good for practice and if you’re a talented recording engineer, I suspect you could get usable results out of these for demos at the very least. They’re also incredibly low priced in today’s hyper-expensive cymbal market. That’s probably the strongest point they have going. If you need cheap beaters and don’t want to risk getting used stuff that’ll likely crack and you don’t know the true mileage of, these’ll do ya. Just keep in mind you’re really just buying a crash cymbal variety pack. P.S.: The inclusion of a cymbal bag is a nice touch.
I’d like to say this is a good pack for beginners (its intended purpose), but you’re probably better off spending a bit more and learning on hats and rides that actually respond like they’re supposed to, so if you upgrade your gear, your playing isn’t completely thrown off when you hear and feel what proper ones sound like. This is good for a working drummer who needs cheap practice gear, but I can’t give them more than a 3 because of the false advertising.
Verdict: They are identifiably cymbals, and they project very well for what’s probably brass, but they’re also just not what it says on the box. Caveat Emptor and all that. Three stars.

Very lightweight cymbals. They sound really good for the price. If you need some cymbals to get your feet wet, fill a kit, need some spares, this is your set. The hats aren’t very musical, the ride lacks ping but gets the job done and crashes well. The crashes are quite alright, pretty good, I would say. The china, splash, and 16” Ozone (crash with holes) are keepers. Those are super trashy and a whole lot of bang for your buck. Get this, replace the hats and slowly figure out if you’d like to swap, add, or get rid of anything else. Excellent for beginners. No one is gonna shame you for these, the rest of the band don’t know the difference between copper, tin, brass, or bronze. Oh, they look very nice and polished.

El precio, accesible, la imagen, bien, aunque con los toques y remates se van despintando, los de Remate, cumplen, los contras, muy sordos y la copa o campana es muy pequeña y hay que agregarle arillos de fieltro para que al cierre ajuste. La funda, bastante bien…. Los adquirí para ensayo y cuando voy a tocar a lugares donde no expondría mis platillos Zildjian, Paiste y Tallija. Y al menos q cumplan para acompañar. Lo lo anterior que describí es que solo puse 3 estrellas. Atentamente Camilo.

Musicalement ridicule, SVP n’achetez pas ce produit. Même si le coût est tentant, ça ne vaut pas le coup. Elles sonnent comme de la tôle.

They sound like cheap cymbals lol. Kinda bright sound but little sustain. Great for practice kit. Me and my son are harsh on cymbals so it made since to try out some cheapest. Sound good enough for practice a d would carry good for a small venue live show. Not everyone can afford AA Ziljian so luckily we have companies like this to get us by with an OK sound

These symbols mitigate the sound very well. They allow you to practice without driving everyone else in the house crazy.

Been playing with the cymbals for three months now. The cymbals are awesome! They have great sound – excellent for beginners or intermediate players. They will never replace the sound of much more expensive sets that cost an arm and a leg, but you will never get a better set for the price! Am very happy with these.
