Review: I did a side-by-side comparison with a RUDE 20" Thin Crash (2019 grams), and the Alpha (2055 grams) was just slightly higher-pitched, cleaner, and forgive the term, but more "musical" than the RUDE cymbal. Volume-wise, they were both about the same, with the RUDE unsurprisingly being just a little louder.
As the Alphas are discontinued, these 20" Rock Crashes don't seem to be so common, so when I saw one, I had to try it.

Review: "The Rock crashes, which range in size 16" through 20", were extra bright and immediate. They made their statement and decayed in a relatively quick fashion. The 20" model made a great Van Halen-style crash-ride."
