Paiste 2002 Thin Crash Cymbal 17" CY0001061217

CuSn8. A simple bronze alloy that helped to shape the sound of rock music beginning in the early 70's. This 17" Paiste Crash is made from the legendary 2002 bronze alloy that has been the industry standard among professionals for nearly half a century. These sonically beautiful cymbals have an immediately explosive, bright crash that conveys a silvery warm, lively shimmer. The tone is well defined, even at softer strikes. The stick sound is washy with lively intensity and medium sustain. This cymbal is the classic rock cymbal, but would do well in any situation calling for a clear, bright crash. The 17" size is a wonderful compromise if you can't decide on a 16 or an 18. We love the tone of the 2002 Paiste cymbal line at Drum Center of Portsmouth.
