Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Deeper pitch, less definition, and a higher build-up of overtones describes the 18" crash in relation to the others. Another characteristic of note is that the overall volume is louder in relation to the smaller sizes, but the quick decay still remains.
The 18" is the only size with a bell worth noting. While the bells on the other sizes are small and don't particularly lend themselves to bell-oriented patterns, the bell on the 18" is well-defined and very articulate. Pleasant overtones build throughout the body of the cymbal when the bell is struck repeatedly,"
