Review: "This writer's long owned a bunch of Signatures, mostly the thinnest, dark and mellow models, so we had probably developed a skewed vision of the Signature sound. Anyhow, after the shock of the rides we were hesitant about the crashes. We shouldn't have been because these fell right into our previous notion - sweet, crisp and clear. It's always with its clean crashes that Paiste shines and all five here today are splendid to our ears.

The 16", 17" and 18" form a perfectly matched set. Attack is warm and full, super clean with a pure, gorgeous tone. The 17" was perhaps the pick - easy to say with it sitting right in the middle, balancing the sprightliness of the 16" with the extra meat of the 18"."
