Review: "My favorite among all the Alphas I tested was the 16" Thin Crash. It was absolutely delightful, with a delicacy and a spread that belied the surprising volume it was able to create. The 18" version exchanged some of the delicacy for additional depth and volume."
Review written by Rick Van Horn ("Product Close-Up - Paiste Alpha Cymbals", Modern Drummer, Nov. 1992, p. 44)
Review: "The Thin crashes were lower in pitch and very responsive, producing a vibrant wash with a longer decay than the Rock models. The 14" and 16" thin models spoke quickly, while the 17" and 18" sizes were great for their big swell."
