Description

Used by musicians from nearly every genre of music the lively and powerful Masters Dark Crash cymbal is truly fantastic. You get great punch and clarity that can easily cut through a mix. If you're looking at an upgrade for your current cymbal set this range will not dissapoint.

Sound:

Warm, full, rich, deep, broad. A wide variety of sound concepts from dark to bright, dry to sustaining, pronounced to washy, smooth to strong. Each cymbal has its very own sound character that has to be experienced.

Here's what Paiste have to say about the Masters Series

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.

Crash Cymbals

Crash cymbals are used for accents, transitions and larger musical statements, with tone shaped by diameter, weight, profile, alloy, hammering, lathing and finish. Smaller or thinner crashes may open quickly and decay sooner, while larger or heavier models can provide more projection and sustain. Some crash-rides offer a broader role with a usable ride area. Compare the cymbal’s intended style, volume, stick response and blend with the existing kit, and check whether the listing is for one cymbal or part of a pack.

Cymbals

Cymbals add accents, timekeeping, colour and dynamics to a drum setup. This category includes hi-hats, rides, crashes, splashes, Chinas and packs, each with different sizes, weights, profiles, alloys, hammering and finishes. Compare stick definition, wash, sustain, response, volume and how the cymbal will blend with the kit and musical style. A cymbal’s sound also depends on mounting and playing technique. Check the exact type and diameter, and remember that cymbal stands, bags and felts may need to be purchased separately.
