Great crash!

I got this crash from my brother after he sold all of his drums and cymbal's to buy new one's. He offered this to me for free so how the heck could I have gone wrong. Once mounting the cymbal it was great and havent stoped using it. For over 200 it could be a little high in price but Pasiste stay's behind there products and you know your getting your money's worth.

    Great cymbal for sharp, quick, and focused sound. Clean with no bad overtones and works well with many other types of cymbals. I have many fast crashes and they all sound beautiful. You really can't go wrong with these.

    I've been playing Paiste cymbals for 20+ years, and the signature line is the top of the mountain as far as I'm concerned. This cymbal was purchased to compliment my current setup which includes a 10" sound formula splash, 16" signature full crash, 16" signature power crash, and 19" signature full crash. The 14" signature fast crash fits in perfectly. The sound is higher in pitch, but projects every bit as well as a larger crash. The attack is big and there is just enough sustain. It is a fast crash, so the sustain isn't what you would get with a thicker or larger cymbal. That's just what I was looking for. This cymbal will fit very nicely into any style of music from light jazz to rock. I don't know that this would be a good choice for a hard rock/metal player, but who knows? I'd leave that opinion to someone who plays that style. Bottom line, you can't go wrong with Paiste. Their Signature Line is what cymbals are supposed to sound like, and this cymbal is a perfect link between smaller splashes and average crashes.

    I use to have this Paistes Signature 16" Fast Crash Cymbal. I made the mistake selling it w/ an old drumkit of mine. After years had gone by, I had to go out and buy it again. I'm glad I did. A sound of its own.

    My first crash cymbal came down to a choice between a 19" Zildjian K Custom Hybrid, and an 18" Paiste Fast Crash. It was a tough call, but ultimately I love the deep tone of the Paiste. Its sound is super-smooth, and its stick feel is great. You can play it lightly as a washy ride, smash it for a huge crash, and the bell sounds wonderful, too! A very articulate and nuanced cymbal.
