Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 20-inch Foundry Reserve Crash combines extensive hand hammering and a fully lathed surface. Medium weight gives the cymbal a full-bodied sound at its apex, followed by a dark, explosive response that fades quickly. That short decay keeps the crash from hanging on after the strike. For drummers reducing the number of cymbals in their setup, it can also take on light ride work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drummers building a reduced cymbal setup who need crash sounds plus occasional light-ride use.
