Review: "The new Signature Series 15" Fast Crash responds instantly and decays almost as quickly. I've always appreciated the way 15" cymbals can serve as a bridge between a splash and larger crashes, and this one performs that function quite nicely. Typical of thin cymbals, the low-profile Fast Crash's fundamental pitch is low, and its warmth comes out beautifully when struck very lightly, or with mallets. But it doesn't take much of a whack to draw out this cymbal's full overtone blend, and its glassy highs remain in musical proportion with the lows over its entire dynamic range. A word of caution, though (which would apply to any thin, 15" cymbal): Once you reach the Fast Crash's moderate volume ceiling, no amount of muscle will push it into power/thrash territory. This cymbal "speaks" beautifully, and it will "shout" briefly and effectively, but long-term "yelling" should be delegated to larger, thicker cymbals."
