Review: "An unintended side benefit of the apertures cut into the EFXs is the ease with which the cymbals can be picked up and placed on a stand. The first to submit was the 14" A Custom which opened quickly in a bright, aggressive manner. Its sound was recognisably that of a crash cymbal, but one with a distinctly trashy slant.
The main body of sound decayed quickly and suddenly, leaving a quieter residual wash to subside slowly. This was only audible in isolation; in a playing situation it would be, to borrow a phrase, crash'n'go. Listening to the decay I could detect some oscillation, which was, no doubt, a product of the cut-outs."
