Paiste Masters Collection 22" Dark Crash/Ride

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. Crashes, hi-hats and FX cymbals joined the series to expand the unique Masters sound. Masters integrate the experience of the decades long art of cymbal making with the inspirations of top international drummers.

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.

The 22" Dark Crash/Ride adds a larger alternative to the popular 20" model. It has the same soft and buttery feel with a very wobbly and vibrant response. The delicate stick sound over an even darker wash is perfectly suited for quieter musical settings such as blues, jazz and acoustic styles. Very user-friendly for percussive use and classical mallet application.
