Review: It's deep and very powerful, which is to be expected from such a big cymbal, and has a really unique slushy crash sound. It's also thicker than the 20" 2002 Medium. The surprise came, though, when I started playing around with it and discovered that it has incredible stick definition and that the wash doesn't overcome it even when you really lay into it. It has what I can only describe as a soggy stick sound with a bell to match. It's nice to find that a cymbal can be used in multiple roles depending on the music.

Review: NOTE: This review is for the 18" and 20" Twenty Crashes The crashes were probably my biggest concern- I'm not a heavy handed player, nor do I play anything requiring notable volume. However, I have a very deep rooted personal frustration regarding crash cymbals that can be seen and not heard, often finding that the darker they get, the less they cut. Following the joyous experience of removing each new cymbal from its plastic sheath, and its subsequent placement upon a cymbal stand, I was genuinely impressed by the warmth and purity of tone from each of the crash cymbals. It's this purity that aids in the functionality of each crash. They can bite, yet retain the acoustic warmth that is experienced when each cymbal is played individually. Surprisingly, there is more bite from the 18" crash than the 20", likely due to it being of higher pitch. The 20" cuts to a point where the harder it is played, the more it becomes engulfed by the warmth of its own tone, and begins to dull, though it would not be misplaced as a dark washy ride in a more jazz based environment. Both crashes work best when played with the text book swiping glance, as this brings out the best of all of their characteristics- these are not for anyone who likes their crash cymbals flat, and playing them on their edges.

Review: This crash is extremely warm and shimmering,and full of body. This, along with the 2002 20" Crash are my favorite all-time crashes. I pair this with the Twenty 18" Crash and Twenty 16" Crash for a nice warm setup.
