Review: "The 16" and 18" crash cymbals were the instruments which reminded me most of my old ones. They were both sibilant, and complemented each other very well. They were designated thin, but even so their sounds were full-bodied with lots of expensive 'shimmer'."

Review written by Bob Henrit ("Istanbul Cymbals", International Musician & Recording World, December 1986

Review: "We were given two 16" crashes to test—one marked Thin and the other marked Dark. I can't really say that there was much difference between the two, any more than you would expect from any two 16" cymbals. They were splashy and fairly bright, and they stood up much better to loud crashes within a live band. The 16's were probably the best of the crash cymbals."
