Review: If the 20“ feels a little bit to wobbly and the 18“ too stiff, than just buy a 19“ Full Crash. I got mine now for more than 5 years. I play it together with the 18“ on every amplified-Guitar-Rock-Gig I get. It sounds like a Crash should sound. Pretty loud, shimmering overtones. You don't need too much energy to open up the cymbal but it is not a thin crash either. It does not feel soft under the stick. A thin maple stick is not the right tool in my opinion...unless you want to use it as a ride. But with a 5A hickory you don't have to worry about volume. In the studio it blends perfect with amplified guitars. For me the perfect rock cymbal. I don't part with it.

Review: This might be the perfect crash to finish up that monster fill (think John Bonham sextuplets) before heading back into the groove. With its huge, full-bodied crash, the 19" Full Crash will leave no doubt as to where the chorus begins. Immediate response and a clean, bright, warm body combine to form an all-around great cymbal. The big initial impact opens to a wash that's followed by a measured decay before fading out. The 19" is a welcome addition to the range of Signature Full Crashes that's currently available (16", 17", 18", 20") and its odd size ought to help find it a home in existing setups."
