Review: "Finally, there’s the Ballistic crash. This is the only cymbal on test to use B8 rather than B20 bronze, and Sabian has actually developed new hammering tools in order to make it.
The Ballistic and its 18" counterpart are hammered from beneath to create the molehill ridges you can see in the top, diffusing the sound wave pattern in a way that Sabian says results in an upward pitch bend with increased response. In practice, though, we found that with lighter strikes the Ballistic is somewhat muted.
Taking a cue from its name, we leather it to really make it open up to a full crash. Once it gets there, it offers a pretty traditional crash sound, with a hint of noise. That said, it’s a good effort and great to see Sabian offering innovation at the entry level. The Ballistic crash will definitely pay off for cash-strapped heavy hitters."
