Masters 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 join 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. The Masters Extra Thin crash is dark, warm and gentle. It has a fairly narrow range with complex mix giving it a buttery feel and responsiveness. The warm, gentle crash sound with a quick decay make it a multifunctional cymbal for fast, soft accents and delicate ride patterns. It's also well suited for hand playing and mallet work.
