Musically Flexible, Hand-Hammered Crash
Paiste cymbals have amazed the drumming world for over 100 years with their clarity; rich, brassy voice; and remarkable sustain — not to mention their hand-crafted quality. The Paiste Signature Dark Energy Crash Mark I carries on that tradition with an extraordinarily wide-ranging voice and responsive but controllable feel. It immediately caught the attention of Sweetwater drummers. On its shimmery hand-turned bell, across its pneumatically and hand-hammered bow, and along its hand-trued edges, the Paiste Signature Dark Energy Crash Mark I responds to the drummer's touch with extra-lively intensity and a silvery, washy stick sound. The Dark Energy Mark I is a medium-light cymbal, so it resonates with soft to loud volume but has fairly long sustain, and it emits an integrated bell character that's great for mallet rolls.
