Paiste Masters 19" Extra Thin Crash Cymbal

Nuanced Control for Expressive Playing

Crafted with a specialized extra-thin profile, the 19" 103 Extra Thin opens up instantaneously at the slightest touch. It provides a buttery, giving stick feel that dramatically reduces player fatigue while offering incredible control over dynamic shading. Whether you are using it as an explosive, fast-blooming crash or a whisper-light, shimmering left-side ride, it integrates effortlessly into acoustic jazz, indie, folk, and studio environments.

• Ideal 19-Inch Dimension: Provides a wider surface area for a deeper, more complex tonal spectrum without sacrificing the speed and agility of lighter cymbals.
• Extra-Thin Weight Class: Engineered to bloom instantly, ensuring maximum sensitivity and a rapid response even under delicate finger or brush work.
• Shimmering, Airy Character: Produces a rich, warm, and sophisticated wash of sound that decays gracefully without cluttering the sonic space.
• Dual-Purpose Versatility: Excels brilliantly as both a responsive accent crash and a textured, low-profile ride cymbal.
• Legendary Paiste Quality: Meticulously produced using Paiste’s renowned Swiss manufacturing standards to ensure long-lasting durability and consistent acoustic purity.
