Description

The Paiste 18" Signature Mellow Crash is a cymbal of unrivalled quality, designed to benefit and enhance your drumming creativity. The Signature range is crafted by Swiss engineers from a unique proprietary bronze. This was produced specifically for cymbal construction, making the range an extremely special percussion proposition.

Versatile Sound

This cymbal is perfect for both recording and live scenarios. It is suited to a huge range of genres, including Pop, Rock and Funk, right through to Blues, Gospel and R&B. It shines especially during lower volume playing sessions.

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.
