"Great sound and tone."
"Love this crash cymbal it adds to my 17" A medium thin crash that I have on my kit and also the other cymbals i have like the I RIDE 22' and the 18" I Crash!..they sound good together. Love ZILDJIAN the best cymbals ever."
"This cymbal is a duality, in my experience. On the one hand, it has good decay and a shimmering tone, and it is very responsive. On the other hand, its high pitch makes me kinda wish it had a slightly deeper tone and maybe a little more "trashiness". There is no trashiness AT ALL with my 18" Thin Crash. This is a cymbal that someone bought for me, and I had to learn how to play it. Its thin nature makes it good for acoustic accompaniment. Its 18" size gives it the capacity for volume when playing rock. Given its nature, it's not good for using as a ride cymbal like some drummers like to do with their crashes. I wouldn't recommend such use; the Medium Thin Crash is better suited to that, or the Crash Ride. This is a straight crash cymbal. I like the A Zildjian Thin Crash, though my perfect crash would be something halfway between it and the 16" K Zildjian Dark Thin Crash. This is definitely a cymbal you want to try out before you buy it to make sure the sound is what your ear is going for."
