I got the 16" about a week ago and I'm totally blown away! this holds up to my hardest hits (and i hit pretty hard). It holds up with anything from the Beatles to Metallica. If you're thinking about buying this crash, go for it!

I wrote another review a few months ago saying that I love the 18" and not so much the 16. Well I still stand by the sound of the 18", however it cracked in nearly no time at all. I got them in January, and it cracked in April. I still love the sound, but if you're looking for a cymbal that's gonna last years, look somewhere else.

I bout this to save some $$$, and its more than worh the money the tone is not perfect when you play by yourself, its very glassy and ringy, I would reccomend this tho because if you play with a band the tone is perfect as it cuts through

B8 pro's are the best cymbols on the market hands down! It has everything a drummer needs in a cymbols collection..great sound, affordable price and most of all DURIBILITY!! I've had had the 16" crash 4 bout 8 years and it still responds like brand new...a must have for ALL drummers!!!

very thick durable cymbol, gotta give it credit for that. but i think it doesnt die off fast enough and you really have to pound on it to get it louder than any ride. ping is pretty average. overall if you want a cheap average cymbol, b8 pros the way to go, just not for me.
