Review: "The 19" Heavy Crash was slightly brighter than the 20", with a shorter decay and a comparatively limited spread. Thought it reminded me somewhat of a thin, dark cymbals I've played in the past, as with the 20" it was nearly impossible to stop from ringing, even when choked by hand. The dimpled, hand-hammered surface and the shining finish produced exquisite colors that bounced around the room and shimmered endlessly in the air. The sound was so rich and thick with multi-pitched overtones that I was taken back to the time when i heard my first crash cymbal. The bark, the bite, the wonder of it all...."
