Review: "Following the success of the Jojo Mayer Fierce ride, Sabian has introduced the Jojo Mayer Fierce crash. Jojo requested a crash that responded with “a raw and ferocious tone...something that would be really fierce.” Sabian has come through quite well on that order. We were sent the entire line: 16", 17",18", and 19" sizes in both natural and brilliant finishes. The Fierce crash line combines the speed and explosiveness of a thin “traditional” crash with the raw aggressiveness and dirty tone of a thin China cymbal. The cymbals feature deeply lathed and heavily hammered surfaces and a large bell that is lathed but not hammered. The thin design of the Fierce crash prompts a sharp response and rapid decay that would be heavenly in the studio, as well as for many other playing situations. One unique aspect is that the cymbals maintain a consistent dark wave of sound when struck at any volume."
