A writeup on Harmony Central:
The majority of Stagg are good-looking, great-sounding cymbals that would be useful for various applications. In comparing the flat rides to other manufacturers' high-end cymbals of similar size and design, I felt that the Staggs measured up in terms of character and versatility.
Something I found interesting is that the list prices of the smaller Stagg cymbals are much lower than the prices of similar high-end name-brand models, while the prices for larger crashes and flat rides are very similar. Still, the pricing for those larger Stagg cymbals is certainly not out of line, and they're well worth the cost.
I held off mentioning that Stagg cymbals are made in China until now so that cymbal snobs might pay more attention to their excellent acoustic qualities than to their place of origin. The geographic location where a cymbal is made should have little relevance to the selection process. As long as it sounds good to your ear, it's a winner.
If you feel that you understand the sound characteristics that identify quality cymbals—no matter where they come from or what their brand name is—then you should give the Stagg a chance. You may be pleasantly surprised. "
These are really excellent cymabls and recent development at STAGG with their direct investment in the chinese production facilities had ensured a much improved cymbals over the previous batches. Check out the latest batch of STAGG cymbals at ZEN Guitarwerkz
