Review: "Paiste describes the Reflector Heavy Full Crash line as having "the flexibility of a thinner crash and the sturdiness of a heavy crash." I found this to be an accurate description. I used the entire line, including the massive 22" Heavy Full crash, on a loud modern-rock gig and was very pleased with them. I play sloshy open hi-hats, ride on large crashes, and bash my ride cymbal with the shoulder of my sticks with this band, and the Heavy Full crashes were right at home; they took every bit of what I could give them.
The 20" and 22" crashes were a bit difficult to get to open up and produce a full crash sound. Though I play pretty hard, I suspect that it would take a much more heavy-handed player with a significantly more substantial stick than my preferred 5A to really get these monsters to perform to their potential. The 22" crash was a satisfactory crash/ride, as it responded particularly well to aggressive playing with the shoulder of the stick. The 16", 17", 18", and 19" models were all very clean-sounding and sonically matched with each other. The 17" and 18" crashes worked best for most typical rock situations, and the 19" is great for creating a roaring = crash/ride sound.
All of the Heavy Full models had useable and very musical bells, and they reminded me of the bell sounds Paiste endorser Danny Carey used extensively on Tool's second album, Undertow."
