The Sabian HH 18" Medium-Thin Crash is a loud, explosive cymbal with complex character and a wonderfully dark sound. The "remastered" HH series employs heavier hammering for more intricate texture, and the Medium-Thin crash certainly falls into that category. Just a touch heavier than the Thin Crash of the same size, the Medium-Thin has a little more ring and sustain and can even double as a smoky, sizzling jazz ride in a pinch.
