Paiste 16inch Signature Power Crash Cymbal

Forged from proprietary bronze and handcrafted by master Swiss artisans, the Paiste 16" Signature Power Crash Cymbal represents the pinnacle of cymbal manufacturing excellence. This heavy–weight cymbal produces medium loud to very loud volumes with a fairly washy stick sound that cuts through any mix with remarkable clarity.

The cymbal’s sound character is distinctly bright, full, and high–pitched, offering a wide tonal range with clean mixing properties. Its responsive nature provides a swelling attack followed by an extended fade, making it extremely cutting in performance situations. The lively intensity and long sustain are complemented by an integrated bell character that adds depth to its overall voice.

Paiste’s Signature series represents instruments of unsurpassed quality, and this Power Crash is perfectly suited for situations requiring strong, cutting, and powerful crash sounds. The combination of traditional Swiss craftsmanship and proprietary bronze alloy ensures consistent performance and exceptional durability for professional and serious amateur drummers alike.
