Great Value Crash
I was dubious about spending money on lesser-known brands like Millenium from Thomann - however, with Thomann's house-brands before I've had good experiences, and at the low price it's at, I had to at least try it and see if it was worth the money!
My first impression of the cymbal were that it looks very high quality and professional. However, the cymbal quickly collects finger marks and stick marks shortly into use.
I originally bought this crash expecting to use it as a secondary crash, to do some hard rock and metal beats on. However, I find the cymbal sits best as a primary crash because of it's high volume and long sustain.
It has a fairly low, clear tone (especially for a 16 inch) and a bright, loud bell sound. The bell is also extra pronounced on the cymbal and is much easier to hit.
Pros:
+Cheap, b20 bronze cymbal and is greatly value
+Clear, loud and explosive sound that sits well in rock and metal music
+Feels thick and so is lilkely to last a little longer than some other cheap cymbals
Cons:
-Not the kind of cymbal you would hit as a beat
-Cymbal and finger marks are an issue for some

Better alternative to the big brands low end cymbals!
As a drummer, i have a main set with a bunch of expensive cymbals, and a secondary set with cheap cymbals that i use in things like rehearsals and such.
After owning a bunch of cheap cymbals from the big brands like sabian b8, paiste pst3/5, zildjian zbt and so on, i decided to try the cheap cymbals from the Thomann brand "Millenium", and so far, it was one of the best decisions ever.
The crash is B20, unlike the cymbals at this price range that are either brass or if you're lucky enough, b8. B20 is the material used in high end cymbals, keep that in mind.
The crash itself is loud and has a decent sustain. The finish is good enough for this price range and overall it's in my opinion, much better than the low end cymbals from the big brands.
So you can compare, this costs the "same" as the paiste 101 16" crash, and as someone who played 101 before, if i had to choose between this and the 101, i would pick this crash without looking back.
Pros: really cheap, B20, decent finish, durable (thick cymbal)
Cons: sounds like a rock/metal crash and i prefer thinner sounding cymbals (not a con actually, just my personal preference)

Sounds amazing, but breaks in about 4 months
I love this range of cymbals, but the only downside I have about them is that they break a bit too easily. I bought mine in December, and about 3 weeks ago I noticed a big crack along one of the lathing lines halfway up the cymbal.
Good thing they are cheap but still

Awesome yet affordable crash cymbal!
Unlike an 18-inch model, this one sounds a bit higher in pitch than I expected from Thomann's audio demo. It took me a little bit of time to get used to its, sort of, splashiness. To each its own :)
It's awesome sounding crash still, miles beyond entry-level 16-inch crashes.

Bon rapport qualité/prix
Une très bonne crash pour ce prix. Difficile à utiliser comme une 'Ride', mais bon c'est une crash ;-)

I got it for my jazz bar..
Yes, they didn't have a crash so I got this one plus a Millennium stand and the owner is very happy as are the drummers. It can even ride a bit if you are very gentle...

Suprised
I remember old millenium cymbals and i doubt very long time to buy Millenium cymbals. After i saw some videos in youtube i decided to try this out. Quality is very shiny and nice and sound is something like Paiste P3 series. But i dont vierd aftersound colour. For that i use little bit gate. Recommend if you looking something else than Paiste P3 or 101 series. This new cymbals are not like early days :D
