'''Review:''' "They look like mini-China cymbals, with the top half of the bell inverted back toward the underside of the cymbal. They are extremely thin, and combine the quick, shimmery sound of traditional splash cymbals with the dark, trashy sound of a China. Being that they are so small and thin, they have a volume threshold; they can only be played so hard and they'll only get so loud. (If you need more sound, mike 'em up.) But within their range, they offer a sound so delightfully musical (and so original) that I just fell in love with them— and I'm not a fan of splashes or Chinas. Their shape lends them to experimentation. The inverted portion of their bells allows them to be placed neatly atop other cymbals without coming into full contact with them, thus giving you two targets (and two sounds) in the same place. Or they can easily be placed under a larger cymbal for that "metal crasher" sort of effect popularized by Terry Bozzio. Their small size also allows them to be placed on their own just about anywhere on the kit. The group of two 10" and two 8" cymbals that we tried formed such a nice pitch scale that I could envision putting all of them in some handy spot for creating melodic percussive accents. These cymbals are small, relatively inexpensive, and musically unique."<br>

Review written by William F. Miller ("Product Close-Up", Modern Drummer, September 1991, pp. 39-40)<br>
