Paiste18" Signature Full Crash Cymbal

Well, I have have listened to many different crash cymbals, and finally I have found one that fits my set and I really like the sound. Nice combination of lows and highs. Good for almost any type of music.

Great quality!

OMG, what a beautiful cymbal. This beauty can be played lightly with brushes or loudly with rock sticks and produce a full, round, gorgeous sound - shimmering, bright, full-bodied. Words cannot describe how delicious sounding this cymbal is.Buy it . . . and then turn around and buy the brothers and sisters, 17, 18 inch. Also try the Paiste Signature Dark Energy splashes. Simply amazing sounds from ALL these cymbals.They are expensive, but worth every penny! Trust me - I have been a sound-hunter for decades. I have always returned to Paiste, especially Sound Formula and Signature lines.I am currently purchasing 8, 10, and 12 inch splashes. Stunning splashes of sound. Your band will notice. Your audience will notice and come up to your drummer (you?) and ask you, "Who makes that cymbal?"

Another great cymbal from Paiste. Listen to them all on mycymbal.com. You will love the Signature line, especiallythe full crashes! They are also works of art. I have about a dozen now. Love them all for their own unique sound. I would strongly suggest checking out the Masters series of Paiste cymbals, too. Especially the Crisp Ride, 22 inch. Amazing crystal-like ride pattern. You can ride on this 16 inch signature, too. I have the 16, 17, 18, and Dark Energy Crashes. Work well together.

I"ve used this Paiste line of crash cymbals for years. They are the best! Excellent tone and sustain. They aren't cheap but...if you want quality, you pay for it. Amazon had a good price as well, and using my points I got it even cheaper!

To all drummers out there: This cymbal needs to be yours. Great balance, sound, and attack.The perfect sound, right on the money. Makes me wanna go play mine now!

Love the cymbal!! I've owned one for 5 years now and it still sounds great and no cracks! I've had to replace my thin and fast crashes multiple times, but this full crash is still goin strong and I love the full sound

Just got my crash in the mail. I've mentioned before that Paiste is great quality cymbals. This crash has great sustain, and is bright. It's everything you think of when you think "katcshhh" when you are playing air drums.Go to a store - wack it a few times before you buy to make sure it fits your style. Great cymbal! Highly recommended.
