Istanbul Agop's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The dual effect carries over to the 20" Crash which also has a lower warmth and range, but starts with a sharper and livelier slicing edge. It's pretty fast for a 20", opens up easily, blooms luxuriously with a full rich whoosh.
Just like the ride you can listen closely as it dies away and never wince at some unexpected and unharmonious overtone spoiling the purity of the decay. As ever these days we find ourselves riding on it and playing the bell. More than ever it is worth remembering 'crash' is just a convenient label and a quality cymbal like this can be put to many musical uses."
