Review: "The thin crashes we tried possessed a fairly dark voice that spoke and faded quickly. The sound produced was light and airy.
Although they sounded fine when struck with sticks, I found that playing the crashes with mallets brought out the best in these cymbals. The 14" peaked quickly, and the 16" was very controllable. The 18" was just incredible! It seemed to have endless reserves of sound. I could make it rise in a hurry, or take forever and hit the top when I was ready.
The thin crash range is best suited for low- to medium-volume situations. They would cut through in louder situations, but the fade factor would take them out quickly.
