I recently purchased the xsr symbol set from Long and McQuaid music to start off I will just say that the price of these symbols is Simply Amazing as stated they are a sonically matched set I find they are balanced quite nicely I might as well get my one negative comment out of the way and that would be that I wished it could have had a heavier ride symbol but it's not really a negative comment because some people want a very washy ride I just find it's not quite loud enough for what I would like but it is a very nice ride symbol but all the other symbols are beautiful I love them I love the crashes the splash the high hats are crisp the China is quite trashy it's got a nice attack to it again for the money that they're selling us these symbols for I find they are amazing they are really really nice symbols for someone like myself that got back into drumming and I didn't want to go and buy them all individually it gives you an opportunity to Jump Right In with a complete set for a very affordable price and as Sabian States these are not a budget symbol they stand up and that is my opinion as well I also love the fact that these symbols are fairly thin which means they have little overtones and a quick attack and are fairly bright I just love these symbols they are an excellent value I only gave them a four out of five because I wanted a heavier ride symbol but really that's not any fault of this symbol setup and I got scratches on my symbols I bought them brand new from Long McQuade and when I received them they had scratches on every symbol and they weren't anchored together they were rubbing against each other which left them hazy and the Sabian labels were rubbed off because they tried to use cymbal cleaner on them on my brand new symbols and rubbed the labels off so I was a little bit choked at that but I love the symbols Sabian is a amazing Canadian company I am so proud to buy Canadian from Sabian that sound like no other cymbals in the world amazing job men keep up the good work I love these cymbals! They're amazing and so is Sabian I am 60 years old and am proud to say I have been using Sabian products since I was 10 years old and will continue until I don't
