Paiste Sound Creation 18" Dark Crash 1984
Rare Find
These don't show up often
An absolute museum-quality rarity for the enthusiast, collector, or professional drummer:
An original Paiste Sound Creation 18" Dark Crash from the very last production year of this legendary series (1984, verified via serial number 468821).
This cymbal is in very good condition. The bronze has no damage whatsoever, the edges are completely smooth (no fleabites or dents), and the mounting hole has no keyhole (it is still perfectly round).
Weighing exactly 1700 grams, this is the most sought-after and "magical" version of this model. This specific weight gives the cymbal its iconic, deep, and mysteriously dark tonal character. It responds beautifully as a complex crash, yet its excellent definition also makes it perfect for use as a light, atmospheric ride.
