Review: "The heavy crash had a big, full voice that would work very well in tandem with the Lightning heavy crashes. The difference between them is interesting. The Raker heavy crash retains its voice through the dynamic spectrum, meaning that it's the same during loud or soft playing. This is great for accents at different volumes. Stick response would allow this cymbal to be considered as a secondary ride."
