Review: "The 3000 series crashes differed from the 2000s in that they generally had longer decays than their same-sized counterparts, and, as we said before, were generally more washy, with more and varied overtones. The 3000 16" thin crash was no exception. Though most 16" crashes have a high pitch and quick decay, this 16" had a fairly long decay.Since it seemed a little heavier than most thin weights, this cymbal could probably hold up to some serious bashing. Some of the overtones might make it inappropriate for certain types of music, but for heavier styles, this might just be the perfect cymbal for you."
