Quick, short crash.

Exceptionally quick and sensitive response from this lighter weight cymbal.

The formidable sound and look of Rock at its absolute best. Pitch Black cymbals were specifically designed to be coated and played loud! We started with our high performance Bronze 12 Alloy with its enhanced tin content and added weights, sizes and profiles guaranteed to deliver the brightness and presence required for Rock applications. We then developed a proprietary coating process which allows the cymbal to be durable and strikingly beautiful yet still open up like a cymbal should. Eight new models unlike anything you or your fans have ever heard or seen before.
