Review: "Zildjian describes the feel of the Fast line as "soft and buttery", with plenty of playability. This was more evident on the 18" crash than on any of the others. In many ways, the 18" crash best embodied the positive characteristics of the line as a whole. It was very satisfying to play with everything from a glancing bow to a sustained wash to a ride pattern on the surface. Even the bell sounded great, despite the cymbal's light weight."
