CRASH PLATE Bright, bold, full-bodied crash with plenty of cut. Plenty of medium-heavy volume and sustain with full tonal response. Ideal for live applications. Pure Alloy Custom is a unique series that offers smooth tonality, great under-stick feel, and a distinctive look on any drum kit. They produce a slightly softer attack with a solid body and quick decay, while maintaining the bright shine and sustain Pure Alloy is known for. Made in Germany from pure bronze alloy and hammered into shape. To make these cymbals stand out visually, we apply a finish to the top called custom smoked bronze and polish the bottom to a shiny finish.
