Great value
Bought this crash on a whim as I needed something I could crash and ride on as my second crash on my kit. I just wanted to try out what an 18 inch cymbal feels like to play as a ride, so bought the cheapest (b20) one I could find. I must say I'm blown away by the sound and construction quality of this cymbal for such a low price.
Pros:
+Amazing value for money - high quality bronze at this price is hard to come by
+Fairly thick cymbal, and hasn't been damaged in the time I've used it. Feels like this cymbal will last a while
+Very loud, which works perfectly in a rock setting
+Bottom surface of the cymbal is lathed very nicely and looks great
Cons:
-Not the prettiest cymbal (if you're into that sort of thing!)
-Easily picks up stick marks
-Doesn't clean up so well when playing the bow or bell - still very washy, so it's hard to use as a ride
Overall I'd recommend this cymbal to a drummer looking for a cymbal they can play hard and not worry about damaging, because the price to replace it is so low, or a beginner/intermediate drummer looking to upgrade their cymbal setup.

A very positive surprise sound wise!
I bought a couple of these cymbals on a whim to use as “beaters” at smaller gigs, but man was I surprised by the quality!
They’ve been my main crashes now ever since, both at gigs and in the studio and they sound great. The 16” and the18” complement each other perfectly in the mix.
For the price I would say these are definitely the way to go. A very positive surprise sound wise! Ok, maybe a tiny bit rougher edges than some of the other “bigger” brands, but other than that no complaints what so ever. I love them.

Great to had to the B20 Cymbalset
Bought the B20 Cymbalset a few months ago and was pretty happy with it. This cymbal is a great had on to it. Fits perfectly with the other cymbals.
Pros:
-Incredibly rich
-Great sustain
-Very good build quality
-Fits very well with the cymbalset
Cons:
-Bell is very washy, which is the same problem I have with the ride cymbal.

It could be prettier
The crash i still want is 4 times the price of this, and much prettier :) but for rehearsal this is usually my main crash. Even for some gigs this will be more than just adequate, only recorded them with room microphones and based on that i expect overheads would really show their versatility even more. The 16" to me fits the 'very good, for the money' description, and crashes really above its price when hit harder.
The 18" isn't just 'good for the money', it's simply very good.
It's a B20, cheaper than anything else and except for maybe the hardest of genres, (sound will not be the issue here but i think it is too thin to be bashed 'all' the time), it will do anything. Cheap stuff that's actually great, i love it.

Good one!
I've shown my new MIllenium set (12" splash, 14" hats, 16" crash, 18" crash and 20" ride) to my friend and producer, and few days later he ordered the same set, saying, that these are almost on par with most Zildjians/Sabians etc. and if they cost so little, he gets them just to have one more set of great sounding cymbals.
The 18" crash blends perfectly with the rest and I love it, if You like sound of B20 - go for it!

Lacks attack
I have been drumming for a few years and have mainly used Paiste cymbals I got second hand, but one of them broke for the 2nd time so I devided to get a new one. I knew that stuff from Millenium would be cheap and reliable, I have their double pedal, and this is no exception.
It's nothing to write home about, but it is cheap and doesnt break easily. I've used this cymbal for about 2 weeks now with multiple rehearsals a week and it still holds up. I use TAMA Japanese oak drumsticks and hit hard, so at least for now, it's holding up.
There's very little attack and it's very washy, but it works. I'm very happy with it for the price.
