Review: "The Medium Raw Crash is the epitome of a rock crash. The sound simply exploded off the cymbal as soon as I struck it. The main voice was very high and piercing, with rather complex undertones that stopped just short of being gong-like. The large bell had lots of penetrating power. I found it intriguing that the tonal quality of this crash was the same at all dynamic levels. This meant that I could count on the same sound whenever I needed it. The cymbal had spaced lathing on top, with progressive hammering from the edge to just before the bell. The underside featured lathing alone. (This model is also available in 19" and 20" sizes.)"
