Review: "Both flat rides, along with both 18" crashes, would work well in low- to medium- volume jazz settings.

The 16" thin crash, 18" medium-thin crash, and 18" thin crash did, indeed, match up well with both flat rides to create a somewhat early-Turkish "jazzy" sound.

The 18" thin and medium-thin crashes were my favorite crashes due to their ability to respond with a sensitive, mid-to-bright tonality and a slight wash when struck gently. They opened up beautifully when struck with medium force, and they reached a crescendo of bright, full-bodied brilliance when struck forcefully. These would be great all-around crash cymbals for any musical style or volume situation."
