Sound
This cymbal(18") was explosive! loud, bright and to "Tinny" for my taste nice & thick with prolonged overtones(too long for me). I think it wouldn't break if you dropped it off a roof, probably stick in the cement! it's heavy!! Don't get me wrong I love Zildjians had ZXT's & ZHT'S for years but got in a band and needed to upgrade. I played a Z3 ride (20") hihats(14") and this crash(18") and I didn't care for any of them.(all to bright) Played A Customs, Sabians,& Meinl, Ended up buying K Customs 2 hybrid crashes(16",17") and a K Dark Crash(18") still looking for a ride & hihats. summed up don't listen to sound bites go play em!! that's how you know for sure
