I owned so many cymbals in my life, and the best18 crash for me is this one, no Zildjian K custom or Paiste2002.
I had Sabian AAX and HH remastered.
This is the only character, wash, brightness, fullnes, projection, length, get-out of the way... This is it!
For cutting trough add a HHX 16 inch:) These are your new best friends.
