Review: "The 16", 18", and 20" crashes are full-bodied and seem best suited for loud playing situations. Sabian's literature states that the AAX "pinpoint" lathing on the tops of the cymbals "makes for a fast, lively response," while the traditional, wider AA style lathing on the bottoms and the hand hammered bell help to provide a "full, rich tone." According to Neil, "This combination proved to be exactly what I had been looking for in a crash cymbal: a unity of rapid attack and swell around a solid, musical sound with a smooth decay."
High praise indeed, - but merited. All three crashes that we tested opened up quickly when struck at medium volume, but were most effective - and really spread - when struck with force. Under those circumstances they generated a brilliant tone with a beautiful sustaining decay. The three sizes are well matched in tonality, with a nice pitch variation between each."
