The X-Ray 6 is a quirky, characterful crash – it's not your go-to for a classic shimmer. If you're a drummer or percussionist looking for a unique, aggressive accent cymbal for genres like industrial, metal, or experimental music, this is a seriously cool option and delivers a lot of personality for the price.
