Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 17" crash possessed much of the complexity evident in its 14" sibling. As its initial explosion decayed, an array of overtones in varying pitches became evident. Seventeen inches is an interesting size for a crash cymbal; it can bridge the gap between the bright, crisp sound from a 16" crash, and the sustain (and sometimes darker sound) one might expect from an 18". The 17" Fast crash proved this point: It was bright enough to give a quick punctuation at the end of a fill, but robust enough to build some volume."
