Review: "The Rock crashes, which range in size 16" through 20", were extra bright and immediate. They made their statement and decayed in a relatively quick fashion."

Review written by Martin Patmos ("Paiste's Redesigned Alpha Cymbals - Updated Looks And Sound", Modern Drummer, September 2006, p. 36)

Review: "The Brilliant finish on cymbals has become very popular. This one is the Alpha Brilliant Rock Crash, and is a cousin to the Alpha Brilliant Metal Crash reviewed here. The close-up photo shows the lathing is about the same for both cymbals, but the hammering is not quite as deep in the Rock Crash."
