'''Review:''' "The 18" and 20" Powerful crashes are brighter, but equally explosive with more body. The 20" is a little more complex with some wavering aftertones, and both it and the 18" could easily be used as crash-rides, extending their versatility to less heavy players. All the crashes have good projection and sustain." <br> | '''Review:''' "The 18" and 20" Powerful crashes are brighter, but equally explosive with more body.

'''Review:''' "The 18" Powerful crash ($292) had more fullness of tonal character than the 18" Medium. The overtones tended to hang around a bit longer, with a somewhat chime-like wash. This was only noticeable, however, when I played the two 18" cymbals side by side. When I played them with a full kit, the differences weren't as pronounced, especially with regard to overtones.
