The 16" and 18" were lower in pitch when compared with Zildjian A models of similar size, which made for some nice, deep accent punches. There weren't a lot of messy overtones, and the two crashes spoke very quickly and had a slick decay. The bell on the 18" sounded big and low and proved to be very usable.

Meinl's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The pair of Medium crashes give bright but controlled responses, with any opening aggression being tempered by unmistakable smoothness.
There is enough metal present to allow the crashes to carry with ease and the silvery tones they project tend to slide across the mix rather than bursting holes in it.
Each crash flows into a notably clean and harmonious decay. While there isn't a great deal of complexity to be discerned, there is plenty of B20 warmth present in their well-balanced sound."
