The 17" Paiste Masters Dark Crash Cymbal is dark, warm, and smoky. Medium wide range, complex mix. Buttery feel with a quick response. Very rich, mystic dark crash sound. Extremely lively cymbal for broad accents in semi-loud settings. Well suited for delicate ride patterns or mallet swells.

Paiste assures all Master Series cymbals to be of the utmost quality which has defined the Paiste sound for over a century."
