Sound Test
For this demonstration, I'm using my Audix Fusion Series microphones with no EQ, compression, reverb, or processing of any kind. I start with a close up of the cymbal, followed by a hit of the cymbal with each other cymbal. I then play the whole kit in a few different styles.

Final Thoughts
I picked this cymbal to fill the gap between my 16" Projection crash and 18" crash. I use it for riding and accents, same as my 16" Projection crash. I have not used it in a live setting.
