Paiste 2002 18" Extreme Crash Cymbal

Explosive Crash Power Built for High-Volume Playing

The Paiste 2002 18" Extreme Crash is made for drummers who need a crash that hits hard and stays present in a loud mix. Its heavy weight gives it a firm, substantial feel under the stick, while the attack is cutting and explosive, producing a strong, full crash that speaks immediately when you lay into it.

The overall sound is bright, warm and powerful, with a medium-wide frequency range and a clean mix that keeps the cymbal focused rather than overly complex. Response is lively despite the heavier feel, and the long sustain gives each crash plenty of time to bloom before fading evenly.

Its integrated bell keeps the cymbal’s character consistent across the playing surface, while the loud volume and sturdy construction make it particularly well suited to high-energy performance.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this 18" crash cymbal is a great choice for drummers who want a forceful, cutting accent with long sustain, strong projection and the durability to handle high-volume playing.
