Istanbul Agop's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The crash cymbals, although still ferocious, are more adaptable and can just about get away with being main crashes (genre dependant, of course). In fact, the more we use them, the more we crave the sheer assault that these cymbals bring. A regular crash cymbal becomes almost dull in comparison.

Strangely the 18" is higher pitched than the 16", although the 16" is still shorter and a little drier. Despite this anomaly, the pair are matched well sonically (in fact so is the whole set). The missing 20" and 22" crashes would certainly be worth checking out too."
