I just got me an 18" Turkish Classic series crash. Ayus sya, sounds more complex than a K, but more shimmer, but not K custom-ish. It's like a hammered 70's A, if you ask me. Can't wait to get home to try it with a kit.
If you guys wanna hear it... our band has a gig on Jan 31 sa Al's Bar, or Feb 1 sa Mag:Net Katipunan. 
I just tested the thing with my chipipay kit kanina. Sounds good. As in not bad at all.
Since it's between medium and medium thin, the thing is responsive kahit mahina lang ang palo. It swells easy. It blends well with my 2 other main cymbals (22" Zildjian K custom dark ride & 18.5" Sabian Chad Smith crash). Its trashiness (being a handmade cymbal and all) turns to shimmer as the rest of the other parts of the kit drown each other.
It sounds suitable for low to medium volume gigs. Baka mahirapan sa loud gigs. I find the sound warm and not particularly peaky, so I found it more suited for crashes on the 1 and 3 (with the bass drum), as opposed to the 2 and 4 (with the snare), if you get my drift.
There were other crashes. The Kurak and Sehzade series. The Kurak's an unlathed and unpolished variant. Imagine a K Custom Ride na hindi pinolish, so kinda brown siya. The Sehzade's a striped one, na may alternate rings of lathed and unlathed bronze. These two variants have warmer sounds that I imagine are more appropriate for jazz or other low-volume and low-"density" types of music.
Anyways, this one's a keeper. I'm wanting to buy another Classic series crash next week (punta ulit ng Singapore eh, hehe), kaso lang wala na raw stock sa The Music Lab, and they won't have any for a while daw. In any case, I'll still try to drop by the store kasi ang bait ng mga tao dun... sila Alvin (the owner), Mark (an instructor), and Tristelle (?) the one who received my order. Si Tristelle pala tsiks, hehehe.
