PaistePST X Swiss Thin Crash Cymbal 16 Inch
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 16-inch PST X Swiss Thin Crash is an effect cymbal that pairs a thin, silky surface with strategically placed holes. In use, it responds quickly and brings a low, dirty wash with a short decay, giving crash accents a deliberately trashy character that clears quickly. Its pure CuSn8 bronze bell is described as warm yet cutting, with long sustain and strong projection. The result is a distinct crash option for integrating a more unusual wash into a drum setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Quick crash accents that need a low, dirty wash and short decay.
