Paiste crash cymbal with a warm, deep sound
The Paiste Masters 18" Extra Thin Crash is a crash cymbal for drummers looking for a warm, full and deep sound. Within the Masters series, tonal character is central, with a sound atmosphere that can move from dark to bright, dry to sustaining, and pronounced to more washed out.
That makes this Paiste cymbal suitable for different playing styles, from soft to loud. Its character comes through especially well in jazz, blues, R&B, funk, pop and country, both on stage and in the studio.
Masters 18" Extra Thin Crash and the series design
The Masters series began with twelve rides and was later expanded with crashes and hi-hats. For this series, Paiste uses CuSn20 bronze, also known as traditional bronze or 602 bronze, with the goal of achieving particularly high tonal ideals across different music genres.
Each Paiste Masters cymbal is extensively handcrafted and has its own tonal character. At Magna Music, you can also count on advice from staff who are musicians themselves when you are looking for a crash cymbal that matches your style and setup.
18 inch crash cymbal for live and studio
With its 18 inch size, this Paiste Masters Extra Thin Crash offers a format many drummers appreciate for versatile use. The combination of size, series concept and material makes this crash cymbal appealing for players who want an expressive addition in musical settings where nuance matters just as much as presence.
It fits situations where you want both subtle colour and clear accents, from smaller live sets to studio recording sessions.
