Thin, Dark Crash with Ride-like Stick Definition
The Paiste Masters Extra Thin skews more to the crash side of the crash/ride spectrum, yet still lends a throaty articulation to sticking patterns and ornamentation, to say nothing of its lush, dark wash and orchestral roll as you venture out toward the edge. Moody, sweet, and dynamic, this cymbal is a natural for jazz or rock music. Paiste’s B20 (CuSn20) bronze formulation gives the Extra Thin Crash/Ride exceptional musical character and an expressive range of sounds. Experience the culmination of Paiste’s decades of handcrafted cymbal expertise for yourself in the 18" Masters Extra Thin Crash/Ride cymbal from Sweetwater.
