Paiste
If you're looking for a little bit extra from a crash cymbal, but don't want to sacrifice clean, musical tone, check out this Paiste 18" 2002 Medium Crash Cymbal. When you want to project a bright, round, warm crash with real sustain, slap this hearty pie on your stand. IT will do everything you want, you just need to give it a little more stick than it's slightly thinner cousin. These are amazing rock cymbals, check them out at the Drum Center of Portsmouth.
The Paiste 2002 Cymbals are the industry standard for Rock cymbals as far as I am concerned. One listen to any Led Zeppelin or Van Halen album just solidifies that. Crispy, cutting highs, and excellent stick attack. It's hard for me to imagine a world without 2002's.
