Review: "The two crashes are fairly thin and, holding them, you get a real sense of how uneven their surfaces are.

The 18" crash takes things up several gears. It is extremely dark, markedly loud and very trashy. Pitched somewhere between a crash and a china, it erupts with sizzling energy. The bell is fairly useable as well. Attacking it with a mallet causes it to swell magnificently, bringing all of its raw tonality to crescendo."
