Review: "Playing a ride pattern on the surface of the 15" cymbal produced a tone that was more defined and had fewer overtones than that of the 14". In fact, as I progressed from the inside of the body towards the outside, hardly any overtones developed until about the last 1" of diameter. Those overtones were low-pitched and subtle, as they were on the 14".

Crashing on the edge produced a quick response and fast decay. This was emphasized within the context of music: When the cymbal was hit, its sound came up fast and then got out of the way. Because of its small diameter and thin weight, washing on the edge of the 15" crash didn't produce a very satisfying result. The cymbal simply moved around a lot. even with repeated agitation it didn't build up much overtone."
