🎶 Professional Drummer Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Reed - Studio Session Drummer
"I’ve been using the Asanasi R70 Pro Model in studio sessions since February 2025, and the sound clarity and dynamic response have completely elevated my recordings. The alloy material delivers a bright, cutting crash that cuts through dense mixes without sounding harsh. I especially appreciate the customization—my fully custom finish and weight tuning match my playing style perfectly. Worth every penny for professional use."

🎸 Home Studio Enthusiast Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Torres - Independent Musician
"As someone recording at home, I needed cymbals that could handle both soft ballads and high-energy tracks. The R70 Base Model, purchased in October 2024, has exceeded expectations. The hi-hat response is crisp, and the crash has a warm decay that sounds natural on mic. It’s durable, looks great, and performs like cymbals twice the price. Perfect for home producers on a budget who don’t want to compromise tone."

🎓 Music Educator Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Park - High School Band Instructor
"We bought three R70 Advanced Model sets for our school’s percussion program in January 2025. Students love the variety of sound textures across the different sizes, and the enhanced durability has held up well under daily classroom use. Setup was easy, and the customizable finishes helped us distinguish between student kits. Only downside: the delivery took three extra days due to customization, but the wait was worth it."

🎪 Live Performer Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jess Lang - Touring Drummer (Indie Rock Band)
"I’ve played over 40 gigs with the Asanasi R70 Pro Model since April 2025, from small clubs to mid-sized festivals. These cymbals are incredibly responsive and consistent under stage lights and loud monitors. The premium alloy doesn’t fatigue, even after long sets, and the sound projects beautifully. I get compliments all the time on my cymbal tone. If you’re serious about live performance, go for the Pro Model—it’s built for the road."

🎧 Recording Engineer Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amir Hassan - Audio Engineer, Soundwave Studios
"I’ve recorded with a lot of cymbal sets, but the Asanasi R70 stands out for its balanced frequency response and fast attack. We used the Advanced Model in a recent jazz session, and the microphones captured every nuance—zero harshness in the highs. The supplier’s note about 20% faster response time? I believe it. These translate exceptionally well in the mix. Highly recommend for studio pros."
