Paiste Masters Dark Crash

A series of cymbals crafted by Masters for master players.

Paiste’s Masters Series started out as an assemblage of twelve rides – exquisite and laboriously hand-manufactured cymbals made of CuSn20 bronze to achieve superior sound ideals in various musical genres.

In 2014, three crashes and two hats joined the series to expand the unique Masters sound atmosphere to additional cymbal types. Masters integrate the experience of the decades long art of cymbal making with the inspirations of international top drummers.

This Dark Crash produces warm, smoky tones with a medium wide range, complex mix. Buttery, soft feel with quick response. Extremely lively cymbal for broad accents and crashes in intimate to semi-loud settings. Well-suited for delicate ride patterns or mallet swells.
