Review: "With a flattened top bell, the Silk Crash Ride’s sound is very controllable, with a “rustling of silk” effect. When crashed with the stick’s shoulder, a snapping crash fades quickly, giving way to ride patterns."

Review: "Utilizing the cropped-bell design of the Crystal Crashes but having a larger diameter gives this cymbal surprising versatility. If ridden gently it offers a dark, trashy sound; if ridden harder it breaks into a roaring wash. (It also has a surprisingly bright, pure bell sound when struck just at the "corner" of the flattened bell.) When struck as a crash, it produces a wonderful explosion that has plenty of sustain without any thick-cymbal "clanginess.""
