Paiste ALPHA BRILLIANT 18" Medium Crash

ALPHA BRILLIANT 18" Medium Crash

Alpha cymbals were first launched by Paiste in 1992. Today, the Alpha brand is synonymous with dependability, and the cymbals are well known for their first-class sound and fair prices. For 2010, Paiste presents the Alpha Series in a new Brilliant Finish, and once again advances these trusted qualities.

The new brilliant look is accomplished by skilled craftsmen who hand-polish the cymbals to a mirror-perfect finish in the final production stage. Prior to that, top-notch hi-tech processes give Alpha cymbals their initial shape and strength. They are also further enhanced by traditional hand hammering.

Alpha cymbals have become very popular among professional artists, especially in Rock and Metal. Working with such drummers, Paiste developed new models to expand the arsenal available for players in these genres. The Rock Ride is now available in a humongous 24” size. Metal Crashes in sizes 17”, 18”, 19” and 20” add another level of power to the series. The 14” Metal Edge Hats model features Sound Edge waves on the bottom cymbal, one of the numerous inventions Paiste pioneered in the cymbal world.
