Review: "K Sweet crashes share many of the same features found on the rides, but their broad, unlathed, and unpolished bells really pop against the shining gold of their bows and edges. Zildjian classifies these as extra thin, but that doesn't tell the full story. The cymbals feel thin in hand, but play a little more like medium-weight models.
I received 18", 19", and 20" crashes for this review. all three offer up gorgeously full sounds that bloom quickly out of a light initial punch. I hear some of the glassiness of the A Custom line, but sitting in a slightly lower timbre supported by a dusting of gong-y wah. They're expectedly dark and lush, but don't explode like other cymbals I've played with similar weights. They settle fairly quickly after the notes hit their apex, due in large part to those big, unfinished bells.
Speaking of bells, these are some real stunners. Each one responds with a dry, dirty note that cuts like mad and sits pretty far away from the edge crash tonally. they have a huge sound that's great for big accents in lieu of a ride bell.
The attack of the K Sweet crashes is slightly slower at low volumes. The 20" model in particular feels just a few grams heavier than I'm used to, so I had to strike it more firmly than my normal extra thin 20" crash to get it to really open up. The 18" and 19" models are rich and versatile enough to handle just about anything, while the 20" is most comfortable in medium-loud and louder settings."
