Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
With its medium profile and bright/medium signature, this 16 in crash suits both beginner drummers looking for a versatile cymbal and intermediate musicians seeking a reliable main crash. It performs particularly well in rock, pop, funk, and contemporary music, where clear accents, good projection, and easy integration with other cymbals are expected.

I am a fan of the A Custom series by Zildjian. Unfortunately for this one, it's not the sound I was looking for and it doesn't match the other crash I already have. I'm going to go for the same cymbal but in a medium thin version and now I know it's the right choice for me!!!
