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.
