Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 18" crash/ride cymbals are another weak point. They have a little too much spread to work well as rides, and they have an annoying overtone when crashed."

Review written by Rick Van Horn and Rick Mattingly ("More New Cymbals", Modern Drummer, October 1987, p. 126)

Review: "The 18" crash-ride was another matter, overwhelming and surprisingly slow - considering the claims made for Sound Control - to decay. Pretty unmanageable. Likewise, the Sound Control rides produced a lot more overtone buildup than anticipated."

Review written by John Burks and Robin Tolleson ("Cymbals - Things That go Whooooooosh In The Night", Drums and Drumming, Summer 1987, pg. 64)
