I bought the 17 inch medium crash as my first high quality cymbal. When I first bought it, it was a big transition but after a week or so, I got used to it and let me tell you these cymbals are incredible.

Incredible Cymbal

This is the first Zildjian I have purchased, and it has been the best purchase of my life! It has every thing a cymbal of mine needs; a bright, explosive crash, with a decay that is just perfect, volume control, and most importantly, durability. I've had this crash for several years now, and it has stood up rigorous gigging from a guy that has broken all the sticks and drumheads he's owned. This cymbal is perfection at it's finest.

These cymbals are awesome! I have a 19", I plan to get a 17"...This cymbal blends perfectly with anything you can throw at it! Of course you have to hit it a little harder than most cymbals (because its a medium crash) but its loud, has good tone, and looks good! More than worth the price!

I play classic rock and oldies and only use Zildjian cymbals. This is labeled a medium crash & Zildjian says it's the thickest crash they sell but it is really pretty thin. The sound blends perfectly with my other A's & older Zildjians (Rock ride, splash, new-beats & thin crash). GREAT CYMBAL!

I love these things! I currently own a 15", but also have played on a 20" and hear it regularly at church. What I like most about these is that when you ride on them, you can hear each note, which makes the beat evident (and head-bangable to), unlike a fast crash, where its just a big "shhhhh" sound. They have very high attack right when you hit them. These things are pretty thick too! Theres no signs of mine breaking any time soon! Mine is very warm and cuts through just about anything. I will definetly be purchasing a medium crash for all my future cymbal needs :)
