Meinl 18" Pure Alloy Custom Crash

I bought this as a replacement to my 18" Meinl Byzance Dual/Dry Crash that broke. I had previous experience with this crash from drumming in church and it was great. This cymbal is definitely brighter and has a more pronounced pitch due to the added thickness, but it's very lush and records well. I only miss having the increased wash and slight dryness from my Byzance crash, but for the price range of this crash, it's impossible to argue over the quality and the sound.
