Review: "As stated earlier, these cymbals react quickly. But unlike other "fast" crashes, they don't sacrifice all of their sustain. So they still have a great presence on stage and in the studio.
I used the ReZos in a session where the producer wanted a "U2/Coldplay" sound. For this situation, I used the 17" and 18", and they sounded great miked up. They were bright and explosive without covering up my fills. In this setting, I noticed that the ReZos had a little less low end than other A Custom crashes I've played. But I didn't really miss it. The producer was happy too, and that counts for a lot.
I also used the ReZo onstage at Webster Hall, a larger venue in New York City. For this show, I used the 17", 18", and 19" crashes. Again, I was fully satisfied. Not only did they sound and feel great individually, but they were also harmonious when struck together. And because they were so responsive, I didn't feel like I had to smack the logo off of them to get the volume I needed. This defi- nitely helped to keep me more relaxed while onstage.
Another thing I noticed at the gig was that I wasn't killing the other guys' ears onstage, even though there was plenty of volume. This, I believe, was due to the quality of tone these cymbals create. They had a decent sustain, but they didn't overtake the other sounds happening onstage.
The 15" and 16" crashes lent themselves to more of an R&B sound. They were a little quicker, as smaller cymbals usually are, and slightly higher in pitch. But they fit in well with the larger cym- bals when played together. The 20" crash was a beast, in a good way. I could definitely hear this crash being used in a heavier rock or punk settings. In fact, Gil Sharone used a prototype of this crash during part of his last tour with Dillinger Escape Plan."
