General
Many professional or semi-professional rock drummers will find plenty to like in the shimmering, cutting sound of Paiste's Alpha Brilliant 18-inch rock crash. It's a robust cymbal with typical rock characteristics. Furthermore, this 18-inch rock crash with a brilliant finish is part of Paiste's highly successful Alpha series, and it's not just suited for rock, but also for other genres that need a bit more volume and power.
Paiste's popular Alpha B cymbals
The extraordinarily popular Alpha cymbals offer excellent quality and functionality. They're versatile semi-professional cymbals made of high-quality CuSn8 bronze (2002 bronze/B8 bronze) You'll find them on many professional drum kits.

In 1991, Paiste released the bright, energetic Alpha series of cymbals, which has now received an excellent upgrade with the brilliant finish Alpha B cymbals.
