The Paiste Signature Fast Crash 19" is a hand-hammered professional cymbal with a traditional finish made in Switzerland from Paiste's patented SignatureBronze. A small peculiarity is the unusual size of 19". The plus in mass and weight provides a somewhat louder and deeper sound than with the smaller Fast Crash variants and thus offers a further sound facet. The basic sound is medium bright, silvery and warm and covers a precisely defined narrow frequency spectrum. Thanks to an extremely fast response and a short shimmering sustain, the Fast Crash is ideal for fast playing and lives up to its name as a "fast" cymbal.
