Review: "These new additions to the Alpha line are very nice—quick and splashy, with lots of shimmer. The flat-top cropped bell helps to shorten the sustain and decay of the cymbals, making them good candidates for recording or for low-volume live applications where a distinct crash—but not a lot of after-ring—is desired. As might be expected, the 14" model was especially quick, while the 18" model had a significantly longer sustain than its smaller brethren."
