How to choose
Choose size first, then compare the 101 Brass and PST 3 lines for tone.
Beginner
A beginner can start with the 14 inch 101 Brass Crash, since a smaller crash is lighter to strike and quicker to control while learning technique. Strike the cymbal with a glancing motion rather than flat on, which helps protect it from cracking.
Intermediate
Players wanting a fuller crash sound often move to the 16 inch 101 Brass or PST 3 Crash, comparing the two lines to hear differences in tone and sustain. Try both crashes in the same spot on your kit to judge them fairly against each other.
Expert
Experienced drummers may keep both 16 inch options, the 101 Brass and PST 3 Crash, on the kit at once for different accents within the same song. Inspect the bell and edge regularly for hairline cracks, since crash cymbals take the hardest hits in a kit.
