Masterwork Custom Thin Crash 16-inch

General

This 16-inch thin crash from Masterwork is suitable for the more subtle styles. Especially in acoustic settings and with smaller jazz combos, this crash will do excellent justice. The cymbal is relatively thin; this allows more room at low volumes to produce a nice mix of overtones. Stick definition is excellent and response is also fine. Sustain is average, neither too short nor excessively long. Thanks to the use of the special B25 alloy, this crash also has a nice 'wash'.

Masterwork Custom Series

Masterwork focuses on the all-round drummer with the Custom series. The Custom cymbals are made entirely by hand. This is done entirely according to traditional methods and, not entirely coincidentally, in Istanbul; the capital of cymbals as we know them today. A unique B25 alloy consisting of 75% copper and 25% tin is used for all Masterwork cymbals, including the Custom series. Even traces of silver can be found here and there! Masterwork Custom cymbals have a balanced, dynamic, earthy sound with a nice, medium-long sustain. The response and articulation these cymbals offer make every drummer happy.

The frequency range is wide and the overtones we hear sound complex, but not too much. Masterwork cymbals are made by craftsmen who have years of experience in making the perfect cymbals. With the Custom series, Masterwork competes with the well-known, big drum brands. Because Masterwork manages to keep the price relatively low, this brand and this series are very interesting for both beginners and advanced drummers.
