Review: "Starting with the smaller cymbals, the 12" and 13" crashes are really too small to serve as "crash" cymbals in any but the very softest of acoustic situations. In an amplified situation where sustain is important, they couldn't possibly do the job. However, in a loud setting, they could make great splash cymbals. They do have the proper pitch and the right amount of cut, and they die very quickly. So if you like the sound of a traditional splash but you need more volume, a small Sound Control cymbal might solve your problem."

Review: The Sound Control crashes pack a wallop. Best of the lot we played was the 12" (HH model, short for hand hammered, retailing for $119.00), a high screamer that gets in quick and out damn near as fast. The 14" (H.H., $155.00), while not as high-toned, otherwise resembled the 12"."
