Product Description

Paiste 17" Signature Full Crash, 17" Crash Cymbal

The results are cymbals that have been gaining recognition since their introduction in 1989, and have proven themselves both in the studio and live. The sound has a high degree of expressiveness and can be simultaneously described as delicate, transparent, warm and yet vivid.
