'''Review:''' "These babies are everything their Alpha counterparts are—and more. That's because the tonal nuances and distinctly musical sound of the Paiste Sound Alloy lend themselves especially well to the Crystal Crash design. These cymbals sound really sweet: splashy, high-pitched, and delicate, with a quick decay that would make them ideal for use in any situation where a cymbal needs to make its presence known and then get out of the way quickly. Naturally, the length of decay increases as the cymbals get larger, to the point where the 18" sustains like a more familiar thin crash. But it still retains the "glassy" sound that gives this model its name. These are all very nice cymbals."<br> | '''Review:''' "These babies are everything their Alpha counterparts are—and more.
