Paper-Thin:	A mellow, delicate instrument with a soft tone and immediate decay. Lively and quick to respond with a golden shimmer. An extremely controllable, musical crash that breathes when played.
Thin:	Erupts quickly and sounds best when played with a light touch. A texture of smoky tones is emitted when the cymbal is "warmed up". Ideal for light players.
Medium-Thin:	Brighter and stronger than the thin crash, the Medium-Thin Crash has longer, thicker sustain suitable for moderate volume situations. A flexible cymbal that lends itself to many different styles.
Medium:	A quick, bright, crash with fast attack and short sustain. Full bodied with even pitch this cymbal responds nicely when played lightly or forcefully. A good all- around crash.
Jazz Crash/Ride: (med. heavy)	Pretty, light ride patterns and strong, heavy crashes are both possible from this cymbal. A smaller bell allows excellent stick definition without unwanted wash while retaining the characteristic properties of a crash. Extremely versatile. Available only in 18".
