Best Paiste Crash Ride Cymbals in 2026

Crisp, sweet, sophisticated cymbals with a modern sound

Great cymbal set for a variety of drumming styles

Made using radical rotary hammering techniques

20" Crash-ride Cymbal Made from B8 Bronze - Traditional

Big crash sounds — the 18" Meinl HCS crash works well at any dynamic, from heavy crash fills to light riding on the bell of the cymbal; use to cap off roaring fills or crash-ride when music levels peak for a serious burst of energy

You'll sound more naturally musical — get the cymbal sound you want without a brash, tinny, or over-the-top piercing pitch; HCS crash cymbals develop plenty of warmth with a pleasant, balanced tone so you can sound more naturally musical on your drums

Pairs with other crash sizes — use this cymbal as your standalone main or secondary crash when paired with other HCS crash cymbals; HCS crash cymbal sizes range from 14" - 18" with corresponding pitches so you can incorporate any number into your setup

MAJOR UPGRADE FROM "STOCK" STARTER CYMBALS: these are not those distractingly cheap, flimsy prop cymbals that come with most drum sets; Meinl HCS cymbals have impressive sound and sturdy feel geared toward beginner/intermediate players

WHY IT MATTERS: playing HCS cymbals will sound more like what you hear in actual songs, making the drums even more fun to play; plus, they aren't going to fall apart, dent, or bend after a few uses like stock cymbals

WHAT'S IN THE BOX: includes one 18"crash/ride cymbal; this cymbal fills the gap between a ride and crash, where it's not too thin or too thick for either purpose; go from a bright "ping" sound on the top to a wide-open wash (or sustain) when crashing

Low-volume 18" Crash Cymbal with Matte Finish

Included in the Classics Custom Dark bonus set — 14" dark hihats (pair), 16" dark crash, 20" dark ride plus a FREE 18" dark crash

Dark finish with extra hammering — a highly specialized finishing process leaves this cymbal with shadowy tones and plenty of volume — extra deep hammering adds complexity to its character by shaping warmth and dryness into its intense attack

Explosive cymbals for power players — Classics Custom Dark cymbals open up to deliver an energetic drive at loud dynamics, making them a sure bet for high octane styles like rock and metal
