Royal Cymbals Royal Crash Cymbal 16" 1141 grams

Royal Cymbals – The Gold Standard in Bronze

Note: As of April 2026, the Royal Cymbal brand will be transitioning to Cymbal Craftsman. All Royal Cymbal models will still be available and made to the same specs, but they will live within the Cymbal Craftsman Bright Modern & Dark Modern Series. As such, those cymbals will no longer feature the "Royal Cymbals" logo stamp.

This particular model is the "legacy" version with the Royal Cymbals stamp.

When it comes to cymbals, Paul Francis has been arguably the most influential innovator of the past few decades. His knowledge of bronze goes deeper than probably anyone else's, and it is matched only by his passion for creating some of the best cymbals anyone could ever hope for. Paul has recently started making cymbals under his own independent label Royal Cymbals, and Drum Center of Portsmouth is overjoyed to stock these wonderful instruments.

The Royal Series are some of Paul's most versatile models – they offer a crisp, shimmering articulation over a lush, warm wash. Made from the finest Turkish B20 alloy, these cymbals are skillfully lathed and hammered by Paul into cymbals that are sure to impress even the most discerning players.

Please note: Weight calibrations differ from scale to scale. Weighing any cymbal on a different scale than ours may yield a different weight than what is marked, possibly as far off as 20 grams. We do not accept returns for conflicting weight readings from different scales.
