Review: "I wasn't fond of either 16" cymbal; they both seemed too thick and heavy in relation to their small diameter. A thick crash cymbal seems to need a greater diameter in order to really open up. The 16" Z Customs certainly did explode when hit, and they were loud—but they didn't seem to fully develop before they were gone. Of course, this is another of those characteristics that could be perceived as an asset by some drummers, depending on their tastes and needs"
