Drum Cymbal Paiste Signature Heavy China 18"

The Paiste Signature Heavy China 18" is a powerful, spectacular china-type cymbal designed for a bright and punchy sound with an exotic twist. Thanks to its heavy weight and wide frequency range, it delivers a loud, full, thrashy sound that cuts through the mix perfectly even in the densest arrangements. Her timbre is bright, aggressive, with a rich and complex frequency mix – all of which adds to the sound's expressiveness and character. The playing feel is dense and the intensity of the response is lively and expressive. The long sustain allows the cymbal to sound longer while maintaining control and power. This model is ideal for powerful parts, accents, especially in high energy genres such as hard rock, metal, alternative rock, as well as funk, pop or avant-garde projects where an exotic accent is needed. Like the entire Signature series, this cymbal is made of a special Signature Bronze alloy developed exclusively for Paiste. All cymbals in this range are forged, sharpened and finished by hand by experienced Swiss craftsmen – since the series was created in 1989, Signature has remained synonymous with benchmark quality and musical expression.
