Paiste 101 Brass 18" Crash / Ride Cymbal

Crash Hard, Ride Mellow and Cover More with One Cymbal

The Paiste 101 Brass 18" Crash / Ride gives you two useful voices from a single cymbal. Played as a crash, it responds quickly with a powerful, full impact; move into ride patterns and the character becomes softer and more mellow, making it an adaptable choice when you want to cover more ground without adding another cymbal.

Its fairly dark, focused sound sits within a narrow frequency range and clean mix, helping each hit remain defined rather than spreading across too much sonic space. Stick response is pingy and lively, with medium sustain and an integrated bell that keeps the overall character cohesive.

Made from MS63 Brass, this medium-weight, medium-volume cymbal is designed for live playing across different volume settings and musical styles.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this 18" brass crash / ride is a great choice for developing drummers who want a versatile, affordable cymbal with a fast crash, mellow ride response and balanced feel.
