This 18" Masters Series Crash is made from the traditional CuSn20 alloy, which is an alloy of copper (approximately 80%) and tin (approximately 20%) used to make high-end cymbals. It is this alloy that provides a deep, warm and rich sound with rich overtones. It is chosen by professionals for its expressiveness and musicality. This series was launched in 2011 as a collection of raids, and since 2014, crashes and heats have been added. All cymbals are handmade with great attention to detail.
