Modern Crash for Jazz, Rock, or Orchestral Music
Sweetwater finds the Paiste Signature 18″ Dark Energy crash to be an exceptionally versatile cymbal. Its dark, controlled wash and silky top end make it a winner for just about any studio application. It has a nice dry ping toward the upper bow that would work great for jazz riding. And its complex Signature series bronze gives the Dark Energy crash an almost orchestral quality – one that especially suits cymbal rolls. Sweetening the pot is a small bell, whose silvery, pure tone really shines for accent work.
The Paiste Signature series
Paiste Signature series cymbals are handcrafted in Switzerland from Paiste’s proprietary Signature bronze alloy. Signature cymbals sound full and bright, with strong presence and projection. They have a crisp, focused character, and articulately respond to stick attacks.
