Paiste Signature Full Crash  

Everyone is right, I've owned AAX, AA, A Custom, A, Z Custom, K Custom, Paragon, and others. I have 7 crashes in my set now and the Paiste 16" Signature Series Full Crash is absolutely the greatest. You get what you pay for.  Thanks, Paiste, thanks Musician's Friend.

I have sampled many different cymbal sounds, ranging from top of the line Sabian and Zildjian to Turkish made Bosphorus and Masterwork lines. None of them compares to the Paiste signature line. I have always used an 18" Paiste sig. full crash in my setup because it does the job - for every job. My other cymbals rotate in and out between different Paiste models and lines, but this one always stays. Hands down the best cymbal made.

I will make this short and sweet!  If you want the best sounding cymbal money can buy, look no further.  The Paiste sigs are there.  I'm a working drummer with 30 years experience and have used them all.  I was always left wanting just a little more.  I had a REALLY hard time paying the big bucks for a signature but decided to about a year ago.  I got the 16 in mellow crash.  Done, sold and story over.  I now have a 16 in power and an 18 in power.  Get out of the way!  they and the best sounding, clearest and loudest cymbals made (except the Rude for volume).  Same your pennies for a few more weeks or months and do yourself a favor. Buy Signatures!

Since I was introduced to Paiste through a representative at a local drum shop, I've been using the 17" Full Crash at all of my shows. It offers a very clear, very defined tone that blows away any other cymbal I have on my kit, any I've always received compliments on it after every gig. Am excellent choice for a musician who is out there playing shows and trying to gain resignation and can afford the expense; more so if you want to be sure you'll have a quality piece of equipment you can rely on night after night of performing. I'd would recommend this cymbal to anyone who wants to see a definitive difference in the construction of their set.

Ive played signature cymbals for over 20 yrs. Everything from hihats, splashes, crashes , china`s, and rides. Their sound characteristics are unparalleled and the quality is superior. For the reviewers who say these break too easy, practice a little more hand & stick technique. Im using sigs that are close to 20 years old and they show no signs of breaking. I play everything from progressive rock, fusion, jazz, country, latin, and r&b. Never had an issue. Simply the best!!
