Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 17" model is a close second. Predictably, it doesn't have quite as much body and sustain as the 18", and if you overplay it the cymbal's thinness is revealed. But in low-or medium-volume settings it explodes nicely, and it works beautifully for delicate "color" crashes."
