Reviews
"The 20" Crash is not only louder (as you'd expect) but is spikier in their tonality. It could be the brilliant finish influencing things but, whatever the reason, it has a pronounced top-end that makes them significantly brighter and more powerful. Hitting it results in near-eruptions in which the high frequencies seethe, ebbing back to reveal a healthy degree of trashiness. Behind this opening attack are progressively deeper notes which round things out with a warm counterpoint." - Adam Jones
"With lightning-fast response, even with a very light touch with the hand, the crashes come off. This is particularly great if you play dynamically and want the full crash sound even in quieter environments. The sustain of the crashes are long. Under the bright and traditional basic character, there is a dark note that provides an overall and musical basic sound spectrum. They can be played as a light crash ride with a great-sounding bell." - Christoph Behm
"Strong, cutting and really nice sounding cymbals. I love the papery attack but it doesn't take away from the power of the sound. You can play them soft or hard and they will perform very musical." - Marco
"They’re one of the few intermediate lines of cymbals that I know of that demonstrate dark tones. This means that the sounds from these cymbals are low-pitched. However, they have bright stick definition, so you get a cool combination of both cymbal qualities. You could use these in multiple musical settings, and they’d sound fantastic. The downside is that they don’t open up too well when you play them softly. You have to hit the cymbals hard to experience the full washy tone that they’re known for." - Brett Clur
