Review: This cymbal is geared for louder/heavier styles but has a surprisingly dark and warm tone for this type of cymbal. Usually a rock rock cymbal is too pingy and clangy but this is not the case with this crash. Its bell is huge for its size. This crash has a better bell then a lot of rides. You could use this as a light ride.

Review: The 2002 Wild Crashes are clean-sounding, and very smooth, probably due to the Reflector finish. They are also quick decaying, in spite of their larger-than-average bells. They weigh the same as the "regular" 2002 Crash, so don't assume by the model name that this is for heavy players. (On a side note, the RUDE version of this is for those seeking loud volume.)
As the size gets bigger, the volume increases, and the pitch gets lower on these Wilds.

Review: "The stick sound on these medium-weight cymbals was metallically tuneful and stout. The 17" crash had a nice high-pitched ferocity, while the 20"
model had much more body and a deep, bellowing decay. Both cymbals were near equal in volume and didn't need to be whacked to offer a lot of projection, but their intentions were made clearer the harder I hit them. The large bell of the 20" added some texture to offset the sheer power of the crash. The 17" model's attack was fast and lively but got out of the way just as quickly. The 20" left a nice wake of howling overtones. The 19" played very similarly to the 20", and the two balanced nicely when I used them as my main crashes. The 18" held a nice contrast between the higher-pitched 17" and the deeper, fuller 19", which I preferred most as a crash/ride due to its con- trolled responsiveness. I reserved the 17" for quick accents."
