16in Sabian Crash
A 16-inch crash cymbal pair starting on note C3, composed of 3 lengths mapped to the
white keys from longest to shortest (C3=long; D3=short; E3=even shorter), each played in
a round robin (x3) cycle. These hits are small and quite harsh, ideal for high-frequency
accents when you really need the cymbal to cut through. CC 11 (Expression) and Note
Velocity control overall loudness, and Note Velocity also controls dynamics (7 levels).
17in Istanbul Crash
A 17-inch crash cymbal pair starting on note C3, composed of 3 lengths mapped to the
white keys from longest to shortest (C3=long; D3=short; E3=even shorter), each played in
a round robin (x3) cycle. This is a good all-purpose crash, balanced in tone and its place-
ment on the frequency spectrum. CC 11 (Expression) and Note Velocity control overall
loudness, and Note Velocity also controls dynamics (7 levels).
19in Sabian Crash
A 19-inch crash cymbal pair starting on note C3, composed of 3 lengths mapped to the
white keys from longest to shortest (C3=long; D3=short; E3=even shorter), each played in
a round robin (x3) cycle. This has a similar potency to the 16in Sabian Crash, but is lower
in pitch. CC 11 (Expression) and Note Velocity control overall loudness, and Note Velocity
also controls dynamics (7 levels).
19in Zildjian A Crash
A 19-inch crash cymbal pair starting on note C3, composed of 3 lengths mapped to the
white keys from longest to shortest (C3=long; D3=short; E3=even shorter), each played in
a round robin (x3) cycle. The timbre is rounded rather than harsh, and has a thick body
that fills up more space in the mix for when you need something a little fuller. CC 11
(Expression) and Note Velocity control overall loudness, and Note Velocity also controls
dynamics (7 levels).
19in Zildjian Crash
A 19-inch crash cymbal pair starting on note C3, composed of 3 lengths mapped to the
white keys from longest to shortest (C3=long; D3=short; E3=even shorter), each played
in a round robin (x3) cycle. It has a mellow quality, and is better for subtly punching up
the right moments rather than creating as big a splash as possible. CC 11 (Expression)
and Note Velocity control overall loudness, and Note Velocity also controls dynamics (7
levels).
20in Constantinople Crash
A 20-inch crash cymbal pair starting on note C3, composed of 3 lengths mapped to the
white keys from longest to shortest (C3=long; D3=short; E3=even shorter), each played
in a round robin (x3) cycle. It has a nice hiss and splashiness for when you want a broad
spectrum crash that can stand up amidst a full orchestra. CC 11 (Expression) and Note
Velocity control overall loudness, and Note Velocity also controls dynamics (7 levels).
20in Zildjian Crash
A 20-inch crash cymbal pair starting on note C3, composed of 3 lengths mapped to the
white keys from longest to shortest (C3=long; D3=short; E3=even shorter), each played in
a round robin (x3) cycle. Its attack is quite soft, making it a good choice when you want
the splash of the tail without a hard metallic hit at the beginning. CC 11 (Expression)
and Note Velocity control overall loudness, and Note Velocity also controls dynamics (7
levels).
