Review: "The accompanying 16" Cajon crash can be played with either sticks or hands. It sparkles with brightness, decays quickly when crashed and gives a clear - if fairly toppy - stick sound when ridden. The pattern of holes clustered around the bell brings a delicate spicing of trashiness. It’s a subtle cymbal but one that is surprisingly versatile. Moving up to the 20" Swiss Medium finds any subtlety blasted out of the window.
Combining the tonal attributes of a China and the playing characteristics of a big crash, what it lacks in manners it makes up for in sheer presence. Played tentatively, it almost hisses with menace, revealing a discordant note and fizzing decay. Crashing tears a hole in the backline while shouldering the bell is enough to rouse sleeping firefighters in the next town.
In a world of beta cymbals this is very much an alpha male - aggressive and dominating in any situation. While it is undoubtedly loud, its performance is not just down to the volume it’s capable of - the frequencies it produces play as big a part. It’s a brute of a crash, as abrasive as a squaddies’ night out and, without hearing protection, a guaranteed fastrack to tinnitus."
