Wanting to test the 16" crash's full range, I decided to play it alongside a 17" Mb20 heavy crash and a 16" Mb10 medium crash. The medium heavy crash was a bit brighter than the 17" Mb20 heavy, while the 16" Mb10 medium was much thinner. So Meinl has indeed struck a medium ground between their heavy and medium offerings. After using the 16" Mb20 medium heavy in conjunction with other cymbals, I found it worked best as an added color in my color palette, rather than a go-to guy. It would serve well as a secondary or even tertiary on any rock or heavy rock kit."<br> | Wanting to test the 16" crash's full range, I decided to play it alongside a 17" Mb20 heavy crash and a 16" Mb10 medium crash.

Meinl's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Let's take the most non-aggressive cymbal first. This dark platter produced a great spray of sound that seemed to go everywhere, followed by a long, multi-colored decay. It retained a bit of darkness in its overall tonality, while having the right amount of bright splash.
While I was impressed, this was hardly a surprise. Mb20 cymbals are made of 80% copper and 20% tin, with traces of silver, Every cymbal is crafted from an individual cast blank to create a focused punch, and each is hand-hammered.
Wanting to test the 16" crash's full range, I decided to play it alongside a 17" Mb20 heavy crash and a 16" Mb10 medium crash. The medium heavy crash was a bit brighter than the 17" Mb20 heavy, while the 16" Mb10 medium was much thinner. So Meinl has indeed struck a medium ground between their heavy and medium offerings. After using the 16" Mb20 medium heavy in conjunction with other cymbals, I found it worked best as an added color in my color palette, rather than a go-to guy. It would serve well as a secondary or even tertiary on any rock or heavy rock kit."
