Review: "These crashes had clear and cutting voices, with a full set of harmonics that sprang forth at each shot. The 16" possessed the highest pitch, with the 17" and 18" sounding deeper and fuller. The crash sound from each of them was very satisfying, and I could easily use them on most applications, from shows to rock. Each size has a full-profile bell, which also sounded very clean.
I found that the 17" could also be used as a crash/ride. The other sizes tended to build up while played in a ride format, but the 17" stayed under control. The Sonic Texture finish was applied to these cymbals on top and underneath."
