Review: For my tastes, I liked the Medium Crashes in this series better than the Rocks. They have a nice weight to size ratio, exhibiting a warmth to their shimmer. The 17" was powerful, punchy, and played like a larger size would. The 19" had a big sound, long sustain, and a nice bell sound. Do you know that some by The Beatles "Real Love"? To me this sounded like a crash that Ringo used in the song. (I'm sure it was not, but I digress.)
