Review: "The 16" Heavy Crash also has a brilliant shimmer to it, and I found that it blended in quite well with other manufacturer's cymbals. One nice thing about the cymbals is that you don't have to play hard to make them sound good, because they're pretty dynamic."

William F. Miller ("Product Close-Up - New Cymbals", Modern Drummer, June 1987, p. 106)

Review: "I was somewhat less content with the 16" heavy crash. It had a nice, crystal-clear crash—but only that one sound, loud or soft, take it or leave it. Even the other musicians in my band commented on the cymbal's one-dimensional nature. As a result, I would think twice before filling up my entire arsenal of crashes with Rakers. On the other hand, if you have the space for several different crashes on your kit, and you need one or two that will get through the guitars and P.A. at any level, the Rakers would be a good choice."
