Review: "The crashes feature an almost flat profile with a small bell. Their color seems to be mostly shimmering gold with purple undertones. Glassy highs jump off the cymbals when they're played, while at the same time there is an undertone that I can best describe as a disassociated series of overtones. The 16" has a lower pitch than the 14", and the undertones produced when it is struck suggest pure heat. It's also interesting that the sound is the same whether you strike it with the tip or shoulder of the stick. One is just louder. Stick response is fair—about what you'd expect from a thin cymbal. I think that the 16", being larger, is the more versatile of the two."
