The Masters Series by Paiste started out as an assemblage of twelve rides - exquisite and laboriously hand-manufactured cymbals made of CuSn20 bronze to achieve superior sound ideals in various musical genres. In 2014, three crashes and two hats joined the series to expand the unique Masters sound atmosphere to additional cymbal types. Masters integrate the experience of the decades long art of cymbal making with the inspirations of international top drummers.

These crash cymbals are of medium thin weight and output dark, smoky tones. A buttery feel and slower wash make this crash ideal for accents in a semi-loud setting.
