If you want to buy this cymbal, you might as well buy a garbage can lid made of metal, I recently bought a set for hi hats I was very disappointed, you want good  cymbals? Save your money and get zildjian cymbals or other high quality cymbals, I been a drummer for 30 years, these are not cymbals.

FALSE ADVERTISING. The so-called "stainless steel" lid insert is already rusting after only 3-4 uses.

It's too bad because this could be a quality product with just a little more thought.
The hinges that hold the cover/lid to the rest of the unit were either poorly designed or simply poorly executed.  It detaches entirely too frequently.  This is a problem when your hands are full.  You must put down whatever is in your hands because fixing it requires both.
Would I buy it again?  Not a chance.

UPDATE:
The company does stand behind their products, and that means something.  They asked no questions when I submitted a warranty request for a new lid.  And, of course, it cost me nothing.  Let's hope the replacement lid lasts longer than the first.

UPDATE:
I've had this for quite some time now (few years), and since the lid replacement, I've not had an issue.  Hasn't come off a single time in the past 1+ year.  I really, really like this G can!

You would be better off picking a set with a metal handle. The plastic broke and it won't hold a bit now.

These hold quite a bit of stuff but the lids come off without having to pull at all.  You just lift them up.  They, therefore are nowhere near airtight and not even good for accidentally knocking over - the lid literally just falls off. Poorly constructed item.  And while it is brushed steal, it is not a pretty color but rather dark and muddy.  Not happy with the item and so I'm using one of them to hold paint brushes.  I don't know what I'll use the others for but it won't have anything to do with the useless lids.  Maybe store tools?  Maybe a flower pot?  Idk. We'll see if I can get creative with them

Purchased this for my wife almost 2 years ago and it worked well as any Teakettle would. Just last week she asked me to look inside. Well that's when I confirmed her thoughts and found areas of rust formed around the lid, down inside the pour neck as well as inside the main area, who knows how long this has been going on. Add to that the whistle function almost completely stopped in less than 2 months, the lid does not seal so water seeps out, the handle gets hotter than it should, and it takes WAY to long to boil 3/4 quart of water. At this price I thought I purchased a good quality product-NEVER again will I purchase Le Creuset items. This one just found it's new home, the GARBAGE!

This can large, stainless steel. The foot pedal for opening seems hardy and well built. Unfortunately this expensive trash can claims to have quiet closing... In fact stickers everywhere advertise this option. But my lid slams shut just like a $50 trash can. I would skip this over priced product and keep on searching. Not worth it as it doesn't live up to it's $250 price or claims. I wanted to like it.

I bought a 14" because it was cheap, my bad, this thing sounds awful, trash can lid awful. My only suggestion is only buy it if you have kids who are learning to play or you want to take your anger out on a garbage cymbal.

Initially, I really liked the fact that this was all metal.  Felt great about replacing my plastic version with this.  And it worked just fine  for about a year, then it slowly started rusting, in just a few spots along the bar which holds the chain.  So the rust then colored the water in the tank, and so when we flushed the toilet it would fill the bowl with slightly off-colored water, making it always look as if someone just peed in the toilet, even though we just flushed it.  Unfortunately the nice quality Kohler version (correctly made of an aluminum alloy which doesn't rust) takes "1 to 3 months" to ship from China, so I had to replace this poorly engineered rusty model with a plastic version instead, because the rust had nearly eaten all the way through the hole that holds the chain, and it wasn't going to last another "1 to 3 months".  Very disappointed.  Can't believe they'd make this out of a metal that rusts, knowing that it's going to get wet.  It's not as if aluminum is an expensive metal, for heaven's sake.  Grrrrrr.

The black base appeared at first to be made of solit rigid plastic.  When the plastic outer skin peeled (no clue why it peeled, but it did, and within only a couple of weeks) the under material is of a rusting carbon steel, and is highly unsightly and rust is transferring to the stainless sink it sits on.  We are 2 careful adults, no abusive teens or youngsters to damage the dispenser.  No way would I purchase this again or recommend it.  Too bad I can't give it no stars.

It will be better if the main material is metal, and now it's just plastic

After trying several of the plastic versions of this common design and breaking the cranks of them all, I thought this was the solution--old fashioned heavy metal construction.  Alas, within three months, it's consigned to the waste bin along with the others.  The handle is attached by rivet to a pressed steel arm connected to the grating drum.  The point of attachment is the Achilles heel, with the rivet hole gradually enlarging until the handle came off.  Why is this simple tool so hard to manufacture in a durable version?

Super cheaply constructed. The simple pressed aluminum body is melted or something to a brass coated fitting with threads of some unknown metal. The cap is cheap plastuc fitted with a silicon seal that you beed to remove and clean or stuff will grow under it. But somehow the cheap plastic cap and brass fitting rub large amounts of material off of eachother. I hope you enjoy drinking metal and plastic shavings. Yum.

Installing the lid requires an engineering background and super-human strength.  If you want the option to remove or prop open the cover for any reason (cleaning, peeling vegetables, scraping several dinner plates) don't get this can.  Also, it has wheels, and every depression of the foot pedal moves the can away from you about a half an inch, so it constantly needs to be re-positioned.  "Tall" kitchen garbage bags fit perfectly and it a good quality garbage can.

The quality of the Litter Genie is a joke. The entire thing is made of flimsy plastic. It is a hassle to use, load, and unload the liners, and does no better job than a standard trash can.

My preference is the Simplehuman Mini Round Step Trash Can, Stainless Steel, 4.5 L / 1.2 Gal. The foot pedal is useless, but doesn't hurt anything either. The lid seals well, trapping odors better than the Litter Genie. https://smile.amazon.com/simplehuman-Round-Trash-Stainless-Steel/dp/B00203PSRA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1505938704&sr=8-1&keywords=simple+human+small+trash+can

Will not last, the plastic is the same type as the side of a shopping cart, the hinges are metal and poorly placed in the plastic making it open crooked, and the screws in the hinges are the only part of this product that is "stainless steel".
