Paiste 18" Signature Power Crash

The Paiste Signature series have a very unique sound compared to any other manufacturer or type using B20 bronze. The "Secret formula" bronze, thought by some to be a phosphor bronze gives an entirely special sound which to me has far more intricate overtones than any B20 cymbal. The heavier Power type like this retains a glassy, crisp characteristic, rather than a deep "Bong" and has a nice long sustain with a lively sparkle. The power is certainly there, but with outstanding quality !
