Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "When you start getting into the larger sizes, the pitches on the thins are so low that you might lose a certain amount of cutting power. That could be one reason the company also offers 16",17", 18", and 19" sizes as medium-thins, which have slightly higher pitches. The slightly heavier weight also seems to go bet-ter with the larger diameters. To me, the 17" and 18" thins sounded a bit tinny compared to the smaller-diameter thins, whereas the 17" and 18" medium-thins were more in keeping with the character of the 14" to 16" thins. (We didn't receive 19"or 20" thins, so I can't comment on those.)"

Review: (NOTE: This review takes place after the entire series was re-designed in 2001)
"If I were alone on a desert island, I think the 16" brilliant medium thin Dark crash is the one I would want out of all the cymbals Zildjian sent for review. It sounded great whether I was crashing or riding it—or doing a combination of both—with either wood-tip or nylon-tip sticks. The brilliant finish seemed to add to the crisp, immediate ping and hearty fullness of this cymbal."
