a crash/ride for my 16" Paiste Twenty medium crash?

any suggestions for something dark to blend with my Twenty?

could i even get away with using a Twenty 18" crash (is it rideable?) not sure about the bells on those though, haven't seen them up close bu the bell on my 16" is pretty small and not as pronounced as i would like...

The bells are a little small on the Twenty crashes. I just got a 18" Thin (really med-thin) and it doesn't have much of a bell. It is washier than the regular 18" Twenty Crash which is more of a med-heavy weight like your 16".

You might also consider the 20" Twenty Light Ride. I've got one of those on order to go with my 18".

my local shop finally got some in and yes, the bells are still pretty small and the 18" thin crash i tried was a little too washy to ride for my taste. they didn't have any rides, but i'd like to hear how you like yours when you get it. thanks.
