Are Stagg cymbals any good?
Stagg makes an excellent cast bronze, B20, individually hand-hammered cymbal. But the Stagg “CX” line is not that! For about twenty dollars more than this CX “ride,” you would be very much better off going with a Stagg medium SH 19 inch crash B20 bronze cymbal. Again, the Stagg SH and DH models are excellent.
What are Stagg cymbals made of?

What is the difference between the sh and SH medium ride cymbals?
The other 20” ride is from the SH line. The SH cymbals are a little thinner and trashier than the other Stagg lines. The 20” SH Medium Ride I tried supported that generality. The stick sound is slightly subdued as is the bell sound. The crash sound is dark and trashy.
What does a 22 inch cymbal sound like?
The first 22” is from the Black Metal line. These cymbals have a dark surface on the top and a normally lathed bottom. This is the driest ride out of the bunch. It is fairly heavy though not overly so. The stick sound is a clear, silvery ping with great clarity with a bit of controlled wash supporting it.
How good is the Myra rock ride cymbal?
The entire Myra line seems to sustain for days, and the Rock Ride is no exception. The Myra is a very loud ride; just the slightest touch brings the whole cymbal to life, and when it’s played harder it has plenty of power behind its bright ping.
