Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 18" and 19" Projection crashes are very dense and dry in tone. Zildjian claims that these are the loudest cymbals they’ve ever created, and I’m inclined to agree. The cymbals also feature the largest bell Zildjian has ever put on a crash. Owing to their size and thickness, you really have to hit these babies with authority to get a full-bodied crash out of them. But considering their intended market, I don’t think potential users will have any trouble there.
There wasn’t much tonal difference between the 18" and 19" Projection crashes, due to their closeness in size. The 19" did work well as a crash/ride in lower-volume situations, where it offered clean stick articulation when played with the tip of the stick."
