SABIAN 12 Chopper Cymbal (CH12)

The Sabian 12" Chopper Cymbal has received mixed reviews from customers. While some users find it to be a cool and unique effect cymbal, others feel that it falls short in terms of volume and decay. One customer mentions that the sustain of the cymbal is shorter than expected and its volume is lower, but this allows for creating syncopated rhythms similar to a closed hi-hat. However, they note that they have had difficulty in producing different sounds with it. Despite their reservations, the customer acknowledges that the cymbal is unique enough to be incorporated into their setup. On the other hand, another customer expresses disappointment, stating that the cymbal is not as loud or as good-sounding as expected. They advise potential buyers to save their money. Despite the mixed reviews, there are positive experiences as well. One customer mentions that the Sabian Chopper added a great dimension to their drum kit, particularly when paired with their high hat. Another customer notes that it made their musician son very happy. Overall, the Sabian 12" Chopper Cymbal seems to have a niche appeal. It may be a suitable choice for drummers looking for a different and unique sound in their set, but it may not satisfy those seeking a more traditional cymbal experience.
