Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Of the four K Custom Dark crash cymbals, the 18" is the best for accomplishing both goals. You can lay into it with the shoulder of a stick and get a powerful crash with good sustain and smooth decay—or you can flick it lightly with the tip and get a fat, over-tone-rich color."
