    Good Points: For the money, ie. 25-35 a cymbal, they are absolutely brilliant. I have used them for over three years until i recently upgraded to some shiney Sabian AAX's, and through gigs, recordings, and general playing they have been superb. The ride gives a clean, pingy and controlled feel, the 16' and 14' crashes give a really crashing washy feel and the hats are as controlled and crisp as a lower-end sheet cymbal can get. If you're on a budget and looking for some great, long lasting, great sounding cybals, the 101's are the cymbal for you.


    Bad Points: Bad points with the cymbals are that i have found they are quite a restricted cymbal. I used them mainly for rock and metal, but when dabbling in jazz and funk orientated playing, i felt they were not the greatest sounding to fit the genres. Obviously this is expected from a budget cymbal, but i dare say i used them in some jazz gigs, and when in a gig environment they seemed to fit themselves in nicely with the other player's, and to my delight they performed alot better then i anticipated. Other than that i can't really fault them.


    General comments: Budget cymbal... one option i would consider is the 101's. They last, they deliver the great sound that higher Paiste series offer, and they are such good value for money. I would urge any up and coming drummer to consider these great cymbals when looking to invest in a product that really boosts confidence in your playing and makes you sound great!
