Review: "When I hit the Black Alpha crashes lightly in size order (17", $245; 18", $270; 19", $287), a minor triad was created. This added a dark harmonic wash when I alternated between the three crashes at louder volumes. Overtones were prolonged yet even, maintaining a compressed decay that never got messy. These were surprisingly bright crashes, even though they were fairly low in pitch; they didn't possess the warmth of traditional hand-hammered cymbals. And the more abuse they took, the better they sounded. Their sturdiness made them work well as crash/rides. My favorite was the 18", which I found to be the most versatile of the bunch."
