Review: "Funnily enough, the 18in crash-ride (£75) has a better bell and is still a relatively "sticky" if undistinguished ride. But on the crash side I was impressed: stable and silvery, suggestive of the clarity of a Paiste with the tone of a Zildjian. Which can't be bad."

Review written by Geoff Nicholls ("Sabian B20 Cymbals", One Two Testing, July 1985)

Review: "The two cymbals which I used as 'crashes' were not both the same. The larger one was actually a 'Crash/Ride' and for my money was an excellent 'Crash'. (A hybrid cymbal is meant to do both chores, and is invariably a thickness in between Crash and Ride.) It would seem that Sabian only produce a medium weight cymbal which inevitably results in a medium pitch too. The 16" was gongy as per all cheap crash cymbals but for all that they were both nice and meaty with a good deal of 'shimmer'."
