I bought it after a long Comparison to other Crashes at Thomann. In my opinion it's a very good cymbal in this price Category. It's very thin and lightweight, but the sound is not too "splashy". It has no disrutpive overtones you don't like at recordings, on the contrary, it comes with a full and warm tone in the middle range. The loudness is not really high, so as far as I can see, it is suitable for Jazz, Rock and Pop. But based on it thickness it has a relativ short lifetime. In my case it lasted two years (with daily use) until the first crack in the middle next to the bell. But I would buy it again.
