Review: "The 16" crash, when ridden, was also very dry until about the last 1" of diameter. However, when it did develop overtones, they were slightly higher than those of is 14" and 15" siblings - more of a medium pitch.
Glancing blows produced a medium to medium-low crash sound that was unmistakably dry. Like its siblings, the response of the 16" crash is fast and the decay is exceptionally quick. But this size displayed a "musicality" not present in the smaller models. Some might describe the sound as "clangy", but it is definitely interesting and worth exploring,
After repeatedly crashing and washing on the 16" cymbal, I came to the conclusion that this might be the best representative of this entire line. Overtones were virtually non-existent and even when they were present, they were subtle and moderately pitched. Again, the cymbal tended to get lost under amplification."
