Review: "I was so knocked out with the Triple Raw Smash in the testing room that I brought the set to a gig. The 14" bottom is an exotic, deeply hammered crash. The middle cymbal is darn near flat as a pancake and is pitted with deep, “industrial-looking” hammer marks. The bell is tiny. The metal may be brass or a B8 alloy; it’s hard to tell. The top cymbal is another killer splash, responsive to a flick of the stick. As a unit, they are very cool.
With the wing nut loose, I enjoyed an amazing combination of metallic attack and swell. When I applied some tension to the plates with the wing nut, the metallic component increased in direct proportion to the decrease of sustain and harmonics. I’d recommend the Triple Raw Smash as a way to get a lot of cymbal sounds for your money."
