Detail 01
19 inch diameter
Larger than the common 16 or 18, so pitch drops and sustain lengthens. Fills more space in a mix.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 19-inch thin crash from Paiste's 2002 line — B8 bronze, fast attack, quick decay. For drummers who want a bright accent that clears out of the way.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud rock and live stages where a crash must cut through guitars
- Drummers wanting a big-diameter crash that still speaks fast
- Players building a multi-crash setup needing one lower, washier voice
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Quiet jazz or brush work — this is a loud, bright cymbal
- Drummers wanting dark, dry, complex character from a cymbal
- Anyone needing a durable crash-ride hybrid; thin crashes dislike heavy riding
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Thin weight
Opens fast under a light stick, so you get the crash sound without hitting hard.
Detail 03
2002 Series
Paiste's B8 bronze line, known for a bright, glassy, cutting voice rather than a dark, dry one.
Detail 04
Crash cymbal
Meant to be struck on the edge at an angle. Riding on the bow of a thin crash shortens its life.
Detail 05
Thin at 19 inches
Big diameter plus thin metal means low pitch with quick response — an unusual combination in one cymbal.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stand, felts, sleeve or wing nut included — check your hardware first
- 02A missing sleeve or felt will crack a thin cymbal at the hole
- 03Angle the cymbal so sticks glance off the edge, not dig into it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is a 19 inch crash too big for a standard kit?
It needs more boom-arm reach and clearance than a 16 or 18, but it mounts on any normal cymbal stand. Check your stand height and spacing before ordering.
02Can I ride on this?
You can, but thin crashes wash out quickly and build up under sustained riding. They also crack faster when used that way. Use a ride cymbal for ride patterns.
03Is it loud enough for a live rock band?
Yes. The 2002 line is bright and cutting, and 19 inches puts a lot of surface behind it. It projects well over amplified guitars.
04Thin versus medium crash — which should I get?
Thin opens faster and at lower volume, with shorter sustain. Medium needs a harder hit, holds up better under heavy playing, and sustains longer.
