A comfortable crash cymbal with a mellow sound character and velvety hiss.
This Paiste Alpha Thin Crash Cymbal features a brilliant finish and a full, warm, round, and gentle
sound. Its medium-wide range boasts a fairly complex mix of frequencies, while retaining a balanced, responsive feel—perfectly

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. The Alpha Series is now available
in a Brilliant Finish, once again advancing these trusted qualities.
The Paiste cymbal's 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 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 cymbal models to expand the arsenal available for players in these genres.
