I got the 18 crash and I d say it's a great cymbal. Not too dark as HHs, but really warm, with a touch of explosive power when hit it. And a good, VERY good bell with penetrating sound. May be too expensive for someone, but I recommend it. I use it most of the times for pop and jazz, but suitable for rock too.

I own the 16" version, and I have to say it is very full and powerful for its size, it can cut easily through loud guitar riffs and mixes very well with deep, punchy bass accents.

I know there are not "perfect cymbals", but I think this cymbal is perfect within its kind. Besides that, it looks way cool!

Highly recommended.

Powerful, sounds great, dark. buy it if you can afford it.

Sounds just beautiful at all volumes. Smash the hell out of it for climax, crash it lightly for that subtle filler, tap it for sustained deep mellow wash, or use the bell, it all sounds amazingly beautiful. Did I mention I love it? However, it is too expensive.
