Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does a larger thin crash like the 18" still respond quickly at low volumes?
Yes, absolutely. The thin profile allows the cymbal to activate with very little kinetic energy, meaning you get a gorgeous, immediate bloom even when playing soft ghost notes or subtle passages.
Can an 18-inch thin crash double as a light ride cymbal?
Many drummers love using large, thin crashes as secondary or auxiliary "crash-rides" for low-volume acoustic passages, thanks to their articulate stick definition and warm wash.
