'''Review:''' The 16" and 18" crash cymbals in this series are primarily explosive, even aggressive cymbals. The treble component is very strongly represented, so that the fundamental tone appears bright and penetrating. The 16" crash is explosive, sharp and short when starting or decaying. A cymbal for strong accents. The 18" is just as strong and aggressive, but brings even more volume. Due to its relatively high mass, it fades out a little longer, but remains clearly definable even after several plays. Both crashes are used next to each other, well matched to each other. Due to their sharp and loud sound, they are particularly suitable for use in loud to medium-strength musical genres.<br>

Meinl's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: Its heavy weight does raise the pitch a bit, and it does do a great job for punchy accents. It is full of mid-range frequencies and a bold fullness. The only part that I didn't like was a certain unpleasant "hum" after I crashed it. I didn't get to try this out playing with a band, but I believe this noise would be "muffled" and unheard if used in a live music setting with other musicians.
