Paiste 16"" Traditional Thin Crash, Paiste Traditional Collection, 16"" Thin Crash@+*Paiste Traditionals*@+@+Paiste undertook a remarkable historical research project to enable the accurate reproduction of the ""lost"" cymbal sounds of the 40s, 50s, and 60s, the golden era of blues, jazz, be-bop, and the big band.@+@+In loving detail, through research and the scrutiny of historically experienced drummers, the new ""Traditional"" line was created, which makes the full, historical sounds of the most diverse cymbals (ride, hi-hat, splash, swish) available today - from sizzling big-band swing to the smoky intensity of bop and blues.@+@+Unlike the delicate classics of that era, the ""Traditional"" cymbals offer a unique breadth of sound spectrum, versatility of expression, and the excellent durability of Paiste's patented sound alloy, the state-of-the-art bronze compound from which they are produced. These new instruments will impress collectors, music connoisseurs and lovers of traditional cymbal sounds.@+@+The Thin Crash of the PAISTE Traditional line is very warm, soft and low pitched. It reacts nicely to short, sudden attacks and offers a sound that is dark, transparent and ""windy"". A highly responsive, musical crash with a short sustain for the lower to middle volume range. The overall sound image is dark, thin and smoky.@+@+, Dark, thin and smoky, Low to medium volume range
