Paiste Masters 20" Extra Thin Crash Cymbal

Lush Textures and Effortless Response

Engineered with an exceptionally thin profile, the 20" Extra Thin opens up instantly, delivering a vast, shimmering bloom that decays gracefully without cluttering the sonic space. Its expansive surface area allows for incredible control over dynamic shading, making it an ideal choice for acoustic settings, atmospheric studio recordings, jazz combos, and modern worship environments where nuance and subtlety are paramount.

• Expansive 20-Inch Profile: Offers a larger surface area for a deeper fundamental pitch, richer overtones, and a wider spectrum of expressive tonal colors.
• Extra-Thin Construction: Engineered for rapid responsiveness, allowing the cymbal to bloom effortlessly with minimal physical effort.
• Warm and Airy Character: Produces a complex, dark-leaning shimmer with a buttery, giving stick feel that dramatically reduces playing fatigue.
• Dual-Purpose Versatility: Functions brilliantly as a wide-spreading crash or a low-volume, highly articulated left-side ride for textural playing.
• Master Swiss Craftsmanship: Manufactured according to Paiste’s uncompromising quality standards to ensure pristine acoustic balance and long-term durability.
