    Wheres drumbum at? Hes the alpha king

    I'm guessing their rated as "gigging" worthy, as ive seen pro drummers with them, and they sound a lot better when they were re-vamped in 2006 (in my opinion, I know a lot of people like the old way)

    Does the logo look like a triangle (the instrument) or does it have a circle, square, and triangle on it? The triangle alone is the new updated version of the alphas, the circle/square/triange is the old version of the alphas

    How big is the crash anyway?

    I have that same crash. $77 is a very good price. That 18" is one of the few main cymbals I keep on my kit when I change configurations. It's excellent to ride on with a very nice, mellow wash to it. When you crash it, it cuts through everything and can be thunderous. I keep it along with a 16" Alpha Thin and a 16" Signature mellow as my main crash setup. They compliment each other very nicely.

    It's a good buy. Go for it! If you don't like it, you'll definitely be able to sell it and get your money back or even make a few bucks...

    i have used paiste alpha for sometime now, and they have never failed me. i am a hard hitter and those alphas defenetly have held up there end of the deal, they have good limits, but are a little bit loud when you dont want them to be. over all a good cymbal for the price you are paying IMO. this picture is mine after a year of pounding
