Sonically, the EFX crashes fall somewhere between a splash, a China, and a thin crash. Their response is lightning-fast, mixing splash qualities with trashy white noise, followed by a quick decay.

Review: "A Custom EFX cymbals share the basic quality in the A Custom line. They're fairly thin and fully lathed, and they feature a brilliant finish. Their design, however, descends from Zildjian's Remix EFX cymbals, with large oval and small circular cutouts that create a distinct pattern in the cymbal.
Sonically, the EFX crashes fall somewhere between a splash, a China, and a thin crash. Their response is lightning-fast, mixing splash qualities with trashy white noise, followed by a quick decay. The equally effective 16" and 18" models were pitched about a third apart, with slight differences in body. They blended quite nicely with other cymbals, offering a welcome color option for accent patterns. They weren't really effective for ride patterns, but otherwise there are no rules for these babies. Be creative!"
