Review: "The 16" Crash displays many of the characteristics of the hi-hats, being tolerably bright and again surprisingly responsive. This is not the loudest crash you will ever hear, and in some conditions the sound seems to have a slightly blunt edge. But the "crash" itself is very rapid, and in terms of sound quality very credible: there are virtually no overtones and the decay is extremely swift. Overall, the sound reminds me of an early digital drum machine sample, where the sampling time was not sufficient to capture the sound's full duration. That's not really a criticism, because short crashes are pretty much the in thing these days, and this one may appeal to you for precisely that reason.

I did find this crash to be a bit wanting in the projection department, however, and to be honest its lack of volume could be a problem. But what sound I did coax from it was as focused and un-clangy as you could reasonably expect."
