Review: "The 16" Crash presented no such problems. By then I was used to the fact that these were budget cymbals and were not going to sound like hand hammered Ks. So with my judgement thus unclouded I was able to pronounce the Crash very good value for money. Basically it does what it's supposed to with a minimum of fuss and bother. No overtones to worry about and although it falls a tad short of sparkling, the upper frequencies are there in sufficient abundance for the cymbal to cut through in most situations. And at 37 quid it's not a bad Crash cymbal for all that."
