The Masters series uses B20 wood to create a traditional sound. *Image is for illustrative purposes only. <Masters> For centuries, the legendary CuSn20 bronze (B20 material) has been produced through ancient Turkish alchemical knowledge and used to craft cymbals. Paiste's quest for sound has led to the discovery of the musical power of the primitive sounds that survived in classical environments. Combining the mutual experience and capabilities of Swiss-based Paiste and Turkish cymbal makers, the entire process, from alloying to the finished cymbal, is entirely handcrafted. This is the Masters Series, an answer that meets the diverse demands of percussionists while providing the pure sound quality of a cymbal. The Masters Dark Splash is a slightly effective sounding cymbal with a rounded, stable decay. This is an effective model when using Masters Series cymbals and want a dark tone, soft blending feeling, quick decay, and bright, moderate accents. Weight: Medium Thin
