Review: "The 16" Power Crash had very little shimmer or spread, and tended to be a little gong-y. It just seemed to be a bit too thick in relation to its diameter. The shimmer, spread, and overall response of the 18" model was a good deal better, but it still was a bit one-dimensional. To be fair, though, such cymbals are not designed to be subtle, and both were very loud and penetrating."
