Paiste 19" Masters Dark Crash

The Paiste 19" Masters Dark Crash is an extremely lively cymbal for broad accents and crashes in intimate to semi-loud settings.

Masters 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 join 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.
