Paiste 14" 101 Crash

I wasn’t expecting much on the quality side of things with this crash but this cymbal is lacking even the sound of a crash cymbal. I bought this cymbal as a budget second crash for my kit and very quickly realised the sound from it is more comparable to an effects cymbal or a hi hat than a crash. Now possibly all 14 crashes sound like this as I haven’t got any experience with anything smaller than a 16”. Nonetheless dissapointed with this crash.

The 101 14? cymbal stays true to Paiste quality, and is a quite affordable option for when you look for good performance and quality sound.

Very durable, I mainly use these when playing beats which feature cymbal hitting in lieu of hi-hat.

Sound is in medium-low, and muffles quickly. That?s why I always use these in smaller gigs where great big honkin? cymbals would have way too much sustain and big sound.

it crashes nicely with a mild but snappy undertone kind of reminding of a Zen Buddhist temple

Great crash, for a few pounds, that's how Paiste works: bang for a buck! Good build, nice materials, great reliability and quality. Although I'm not a good drummer, I can see quality where it exists, and this is a good quality crash! Totally recommend it!

I bought this crash because i wanted something portable that could fit into a compact kit. Couldn't be more happy with my purchase. The sound is perfect for what I wanted

Quality product good price. excellent service

great value, exactly what we needed and nothing more!

Excellent and rich sound!

Un petit peu moins performante en puissance que ses grandes soeurs, mais très agréable pour le prix !
