Bosphorus Antique Thin Crash 15" - sanjuro's review
The banded lathing on this cymbal reminded me of my Istanbuls, so I wanted to try it. I also am a fan of other Bosporus cymbals and try all of them when I can. I was not terribly impressed by this,…
Paiste 2002 Crash 20" - sanjuro's review
Like the other cymbals in the 2002 line, this is good for rock music. The 20" crash has truly amazing power. The 2002's already pack a punch, so supplying 20 inches is almost out of control. This …
Paiste 2002 Crash 16" - sanjuro's review
The Paiste 2002 16" crash is an excellent cymbal for rock music. I think that the crashes in this line are the highlight and are a great deal for their quality. A few steps down from the signatures…
Paiste Signature Power Crash 16'' - sanjuro's review
The Paiste 16'' Power Crash was the first high end cymbal I ever bought. My drum teacher recommended it, because it was used at the drum store I played at for a cheap price. I couldn't believe it w…
Zildjian K Dark Crash Thin 15'' - sanjuro's review
The 15'' K dark thin crash is an exceptional cymbal in certain situations, but not in most. K's are often played in Jazz, and we had one of these in my high school jazz band. It served well, but to…
Sabian AAX Dark Crash 16" - moosers's review

Zildjian A Custom Rezo Crash 18" - Audiofanzine FR's review
(Originally written by titvigier/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I previously owned a 18" projection crash but it was too loud and powerful and annoying. This one doesn't sound too brilli…
Zildjian A Medium Thin Crash 16'' - FateFelledVictim's review
I have been using this cymbal for about 2 months, and it has a good tone. The shimmering sound and the vintage clarity is all there, but I think it might be a touch too high pitch. The sound is great…
Zildjian A Custom Crash 16'' - Audiofanzine FR's review
(Originally written by pyj56/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I've owned it for 9 years. Wonderful crash cymbal. I find it sounds better with aging. Very fast response at every volume. Same quality …
Zildjian A Custom Rezo Crash 20" - superapollo's review
12 months ago, I had no idea how special this cymbal was. Getting to know the Zildjian 20 inch Rezo is like falling in love with your best friend, it's amazing. I get behind her with full force, or I…
Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash 18" - superapollo's review
When choosing to take the small leaps in the spacing of my crash sizes, going from 15 to 18 was a choice I am very happy with. Basically, one year in I have no intent in changing the solitiy of favor…
Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash 14" - superapollo's review
The first time 12 months ago, I came quick off a drum roll and laid a little crash from this bad boy at the end, I fell in love. Perfect for those moments of short lived heightened sound during a jam…
Zildjian Z Custom Medium Crash 16" - FateFelledVictim's review
This is the cymbal that is made for metal, rock, or anything that needs a lot of drive. These cymbals cut through the mix with a very bright, focused attack. I have two Z Customs in my set, along wit…
Zildjian Z Custom Rock Crash 17'' - FateFelledVictim's review
The Z Custom 17” Rock Crash is one of the most versatile cymbals in the Z Custom cymbal line. The large, popped up bell allows the cymbal to be a projecting crash, while holding on to an overall clea…
Zildjian A Custom Medium Crash 18'' - FateFelledVictim's review
This cymbal is a great addition to any drummers arsenal. The cymbal does not have to be beat on to explode with an array of colors and sounds. The cymbal has a large amount of wash, yet still holds o…

Zildjian ZBT Crash 16'' - FateFelledVictim's review
I had one of the 16” Zildjian ZBT cymbals when I first started playing drums and at the time it was good. The sound of these are actually half way decent. The cymbal holds a full tone for a nice amou…
Zildjian Scimitar Crash 16" - BGugino's review
I bought my Zildjian Bronze scimitar crash at a garage sale for $20; and let me tell you, I think I over-paid. This cymbal is by far the worst cymbal I’ve ever heard. Not to mention the looks of the …
Zildjian A Medium Crash 18'' - BGugino's review

Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash 18" - goodbyebluesky's review
Unlike my unfavorable review of the 16" Fast Crash from this series; the A Customs- I really like the A Custom's 18" Fast Crash. What I like most about the A Custom line-up is their versati…
Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash 16" - goodbyebluesky's review
I did not use this cymbal long, as it just didn't jive with my tastes and expectations. It might for you, though. The 16" Fast Crash is pretty typical and in line with the rest of the A Custom s…
Sabian AAX Stage Crash 16" - goodbyebluesky's review
I owned my 16" AAX Stage Crash for a couple years before I sold it off to another drummer. The sound quality of the cymbal changed dramatically to my ears over the time owned it. I remember buyi…
