Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Among the other crashes, particularly good were the 16" Fast and the 18" Mellow, the former sounding almost like a big splash cymbal but with nice high end and an airy, clean sound, and the latter probably working well as a general-purpose crash— not overbearing, but with a healthy amount of overtones."
Review written by Adam Budofsky ("Paiste Signature Series Cymbals", Modern Drummer, Dec. 1989, p. 40)
Review: The name is very appropriate with this model. Not only is it pleasantly smooth, but it is dark, so much so that it outperformed a K Zildjian 18" Dark Crash Thin in this department. (See the video above for a comparison of these two.) I use this 18" a lot in my setup with great success, along with a couple of Fast Crashes. These two models go extremely well with each other, both in complimentary pitches, blending in with the music, providing a soothing sound perfect for the light rock that I currently play live.
