Stagg Cymbals

[NoiseInMotion]

I noticed that there wasn't a thread on Stagg. I was wondering if anybody had tried out any of their stuff and if it was any good. Unfortunately, Stagg doesn't have sound clips on their website and not many people have uploaded clips on youtube, so I have to go there myself to hear what they sound like. But that shouldn't be any big deal. There's a dealer within 45 minutes of where I live and road trips are always fun xD. But yea, general talk about Stagg. Maybe sticky this if there's enough interest?

Nobody's ever dabbled with Stagg before?

i fancy getting a stagg metal bell but i dunno about the quality.

ive got a stagg shell kit, it sounds alright with decent heads and the right tuning but havent dealt with the cymbals

Here's a video of all the bells. I might get the 6.5 light at some point.

The Staggs stuff I have heard is not really worth discussing, but those bells seem OK.

My first cymbals were stagg hi hats and a crash ride. They were terrible.

I think those Bells sound kinda cool. If theyre cheap, why not? Theyd be good for an accent, i think.

I have a 6'' medium stagg black metal bell. I love it, especially for how cheap they are relative to a zil-bel. It is a great accent cymbal, and extremely cutting.

[sheoth]

yes must get a bell but first i need more cymbal stands im two short at the minute :/

They sound pretty nice tonewise, but really ringy for my taste. I guess if you can't afford Zildjian or Paiste..

I bought a set of 10'' mini hats I purchased for a psuedo coc ktail kit. They were pretty heavy for their size. Had lots of volume and didn't sound as trashy as I expected.

theres a drummer on youtube who only uses stagg and it sounds realy good. he has lots a cover videos etc... using them and videos litsing what he uses. to me the furia crashes and myra crashes sound realy good for the price tag on ebay of like 120. I am actaully deabting these cymbals and dreams currently.

[drummer87543854]

Just in case someone goes searching

This is one of the only videos he's posted with his all Stagg setup. Sounds unbelievable.

Definitely sounds good for the price...

I think that sounds horrible, the EQing job is dreadful. Especially on the overheads. And if there's no EQ on them then I don't want to hear how those cymbals sound in person.

I have a double hammered 16" crash. It's alright, only paid £25 for it. I had a 10" DH splash too, which was really nice. But it broke.

Cymbals sounded great, but the drums were clipping hardcore. He needs to work on his mic positioning and EQ a little bit, especially if he's making videos as an endorser. Playing is real solid though, I enjoyed it.

If they are ment to sound Trashy...then I believe they got it..maybe my perception of trashy differs from others..but I was not too impressed...of course as with all equipment its purely peronal

He got endorsed before he starting micing his kit.

I purchased a Stagg 16" Doubled Hammered crash. It had a nice shimmering tone. I liked it very much. The price was comparable to a Sabian B20 in the same size. I would recommend it if you get a chance to listen one in the store. I don't think I would've ordered one online without listening to it first. Who knows, there's an 18" DH crash left at the store, too....
