Review: "I found the Dark Thins to be especially effective in low-volume situations where I wanted to be able to lay into a crash fairly well, but didn't necessarily want it to obliterate the rest of the music. For example, in certain acoustic settings, an ordinary 16" Dark Crash might have the pitch you want, but be too loud. If you substitute a regular 14" Dark Crash, the volume might be better but the pitch might be higher than you desire. The new Dark Thin Crashes solve that prob-lem. You can use a 14" or 15" Dark Thin and have a pitch similar to a regular 16", but it won't be as loud."

Review: (NOTE: This review takes place after the entire series was re-designed in 2001)

"The 15" Dark crash creates a bright explosion that dissipates quickly. It almost has the “quick draw” of a splash, yet you still might consider riding on it for a few bars, picking up steam for a big crash."
