This is a heavy 18" with plenty of cut – a great main crash for an aggressive (and unapologetic) drummer. It's bright without being harsh or tinny. The brilliant finish with slight patina delivers strong highs while the 20% bronze brings balance and warmth to the sound. Most of all, it's mega loud. It's ideal for making sure your neighbours hear all your AC/DC practice, or you could just use it to reflect the sun in your mate's eyes. Both are equally annoying.
