Review: "Paiste 2002 crashes are renowned for blending muscular warmth with a sparkling top end, cutting through without ever sounding harsh. That characteristic smoothness is present in the 900 series regular crashes from the 16" upwards. They are quick to open and the balance between the initial brightness and deeper note is spot on.

Each 1" increase in diameter brings a step down in overall pitch and a notching up of the volume. By the 20" model the response is close to 11 territory, with a lingering - yet still measured - decay.

In a straight comparison, the Heavy crashes are a fraction higher in pitch whilst possessing a good deal more projection. The extra weight and larger bells affords them extra zing and sharper focus. They punch through with ease and, from the 18" model upwards, provide a meaty bell sound to boot, adding a dash of versatility."
