Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Being medium-thin and ranging from 18" to 24" the cymbals work as crashes or rides or both. Which is why Paiste has not given them descriptive names - a salutary reminder that the functional denominations cymbal companies stick on its wares are guides not strict orders!

So to get down to specifics, the 18" and 19" are the obvious crashes. Being medium-thin they are fast to engage and quite short on sustain. The 19" in particular crashes quickly and brightly and then cuts out, gated-style, rather abruptly. The 18" has more of a smooth retreat."
