Review: "Thin is an understatement - this is probably the thinnest sounding 20" crash we've played. So responsive you can crash the body of the cymbal with a small stick tip. You can even crash the bell, which results in a broad-edged 'pahhh'.

You'd have to be the world's lightest player to ride it. It's ultra-sensitive then, with a trashy, sizzling, shimmering, gorgeous sound."

Review: "The 20" Extra Dry Thin crash ($560) had a flexible feel that, when combined with the cymbal's dark and dry tone, created a trashy sound with a mellow attack. It also decayed nicely, with just the right amount of presence. This model is definitely for use in lighter playing situations, because hitting it harder didn't really make it any louder. Its volume peaked at a pretty low, controlled level."
