Paiste 101 Series Brass Crash 16 inch – Crash Cymbal

Product Overview

The Paiste 101 Series Brass Crash 16 inch is a 16" Crash cymbal from the 101 Brass series. With its Medium weight and Medium volume, it is designed as a balanced, versatile Crash for general-purpose playing applications.

Its tonal character is fairly dark, full and focused. The Medium frequency range and Clean frequency mix provide a controlled and clearly defined sonic profile. The Even, responsive feel delivers consistent and lively response during performance, while the explosive attack provides fast and energetic accents.

The 16" format makes the cymbal a compact and responsive Crash option. Its Short sustain helps maintain control in fast musical passages and layered arrangements, allowing the Crash sound to clear relatively quickly and leave space for other rhythmic elements.
