Meinl's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "All five of the medium crashes contain a similar balance of brightness and musical depth. They open rapidly with typical B8 brilliance, while the note that follows sits harmoniously below, leading to a smooth decay. The 14" model is understandably the highest in pitch; the 16" and 17" sit well together as a pair, blending sympathetically; and the 18" model possesses an altogether deeper voice and stronger character.

The 20", meanwhile, would make a decent crash/ride - it's as happy pulsing out time as it is supplying a great wave of crash, and the wash that it produces isn't intrusive. We preferred the 20" medium crash to the 20" medium ride on account of its more rounded feel."

Review: "The crashes are loud and quick. As expected, the 16" is the most high-pitched, while the 17" has a more elongated wash and a lower fundamental note. But there wasn’t much of a difference between them."
