Drum Cymbal Paiste Signature Mellow Crash 16"

The Paiste Signature Mellow Crash 16" is a sleek cymbal that delivers a soft, warm and deep sound. Its light weight makes it perfect for delicate, nuanced playing and it opens up perfectly at medium to low volume. Its timbre colouring can be characterised as medium on the spectrum and its frequency range as narrow, with an extremely clean, balanced mix. The strike from the stick creates a soft, fuzzy character, with lively dynamics and quick response. Sustaining is short, so the cymbal sounds expressive without overpowering the overall picture. The playing feel is soft and pleasant, allowing you to control the dynamics with great sensitivity. This crash is handcrafted in Switzerland from Signature's signature bronze alloy, created specifically for cymbals. Each cymbal undergoes a complete hand-finishing process by craftsmen who adhere to the highest standards of sound and quality. The Paiste Signature Mellow Crash 16" is ideal for live performance and studio recording, especially in genres that value detail and control – pop, rock, funk, R&B, blues, country, jazz, gospel and even avant-garde. It opens up a wide range of expression for the musician, adding warmth, softness and musical beauty to the sound.
