This crash compliments the 16" crash beautiful. The sound has remained consistent; clean, cuts through and gets itself back out of the way right when you want it to. Build quality seems good (so far I have used this through this years festival season with no issues) as does its versatility. The only thing its cannot really do for me is act as a crash I can ride on and that is simply down to personal taste, I dont like the frequency and overtone development on it......but that just means more cymbals :D
