I recorded a drummer a few weeks ago that had cymbals and hats from the new stagg range. I turned my nose up and reached for my old faithfuls but, I've got to say, they were surprisingly good. Like an old pair of A customs but for a fraction of the cost. Definately worth a look...

I have some XS cymbals from Sabian and they sound pretty good for jazz

yes trev!
i was hoping some one would mention these... we're thinking of stocking the range. do you know which ones in particular he was using? im liking the look of the vintage bronze series but fear they may be a bit to heavy.

Man, I just don't remember. I remember his saying they were a pretty recent release. Don't think it was the vintage bronze. Can try and find out...

I use Stagg drum sticks @ £1.80/pair (oak series). Perfectly good if you ask me, done tonns of gigs with them.

you'd remember if they were... they look like they've been buried and kicked around a bit! if its not too much trouble to look into it would be much appreciated!

cheers

I think I was just agreeing that their stuff, although cheap, was most certainly not crap.

I understand they were from the new "Classic Series". Have dug around and there is a bit of an article about them here:

Here here, I'm a big fan of Sabian Hats.

Alot of drummers are getting the odd few Stagg cymbals now, I think they're great for the money.

Used pro sonics hats for yonks and although theyre a bit on the heavy side they cut through pretty well for a £90 set of hats. when recorded theyre pretty controlled even when trashy. so id have a look
