Review: "Anyone familiar with the 2002 sound ought to recognize these cymbals when they hear them. As a series, the 2002 Classic Thin Crashes were consistent in their characteristics. Each cymbal produced a slightly glassy crash, with an initial cut that led to a warm crash and an even decay. They all had the weight, "give," and response that one would expect from a thin crash model.
At the smaller end of the series, the 16" was excellent for punctuations and accents, and as a general crash for low- to moderate-volume applications. At the other end of a scale, the 20" crash made a more definitive statement, owing to its sheer size. The 17", 18", and 19" crashes filled the gap between these two, with each progessively larger cymbal getting lower in pitch. While they were impressive at full volume, these cymbals also performed well at quieter levels, working nicely to fill in and augment the groove. These are versatile crashes that sound excellent with each other or in combination with other models."
