Paiste Signature Power Crash Cymbal 16 in.

Don't even think about the Z word. Paiste Signatures are the real music instruments. Even the top level Zs sound like my grandmom's pot covers compared to the signatures. Full, frequency reach sound and sturdiness. Some of their rides are a bit too reach and bright but you can't have too much of a good thing. There is always EQ. Signatures sound amazing in the entire range of dynamics. Slight touch or a heavy hit - they will always produce a great sound.

this crash cymbal is the best...it projects very well and is the est sounding symbol i have ever used....its perfect for rock and metal etc. its cuts through all the band like a sharp pair of scissors through paper...it has a clean but distorted sound ....if you hit it hard it has a really trashy sound...that's good for metal....but also good for classical if hit it lightly...for rock you can hit it any way you want to and it will always sound good...also i wanted a symbol that would last me for a really long time and this is definitely the one :)

This brings tears of joy to the ears. It have such a godly character that explaining it over a review is just like explaining what water tastes like! I have been playing for 5+ years. I bought this from ebay thinking that this was going to be ok. Was I wrong. I play metal and this thing projects and holds up to abuse! Its probably so loud that you wouldnt need to mic it!!! I hear complaints from down the street about how loud this is! And the looks, its like a block of gold straight from the mint! Pasite, once again, you will have a returning customer!

Great crash. I started drumming about 6 months ago, and started with the 14/16/20 paiste 201 set. My untrained ear quickly realized that my cymbals didn't sound the same as my favorite musicians. When I got better, I decided to fork out the money for the 19 inch. It was a great decision. The cymbal sounds great. If you want an example, listen to the white stripes, the 19" is the crash that meg white uses. It has some weight to it, so make sure you have a good stand. Great crash response, great bell sound, and can be used as a crash/ride if that's our style. I am very glad I bought this and I will probably be replacing my other cymbals with paiste signature line.

The paiste Signature line, is used by many of the top recording artists, and influential drummers of all styles and genres. Once you set one of the signature series in your drum kit, you can see why right away. Paiste signature cymbals are made out of a patented alloy that is extrememly musical and sonorous. You can't get this metal in any cymbal, not in this mixture, and the Bronze alloy playes so uniuqe. It has so many different musical striking points and each produces a birlliant beautiful uniqe shimmer. I have one 19 inch Power crash and it can be a soft high pitched bell sound, a great pingy ride sound, and nice musical crash, as well as an exploding High pitched monster with amazing sustain and projection. Count it, thats one cymbal with amazing uses in the studio and live. I use the entire paiste signature line, and now can't think of using anything any less brilliant and musical.
