Masterwork - Turkish cymbal making in perfection

Masterwork Cymbals stands for genuine, handmade cymbals from Turkey - the country of origin of the art of cymbal making. Each cymbal is manufactured using traditional forging techniques and individually hand-hammered by experienced craftsmen. The Custom series is aimed at modern drummers who are looking for a balanced combination of warm vintage tone and modern articulation - exactly what the 18" Custom Crash delivers perfectly.

Technical details of the Masterwork Custom 18 inch Crash

The crash cymbal has a size of 18 inches, which makes it an ideal all-round crash for almost any drum set - big enough for rich accents, but reactive enough for fast playing techniques. Its sound is lively, warm and open, with a quick response and a dark timbre that is particularly effective in more complex styles of music or in acoustic contexts.

The B20 bronze alloy - 80% copper and 20% tin - is one of the highest quality materials in professional cymbal making. This alloy ensures a rich overtone spectrum, dynamic playability and long durability. In combination with the hand-hammered surface, the result is a cymbal with a complex character and finely nuanced response.

The brilliant finish not only gives the cymbal an elegant appearance, but also emphasizes its bright, open presence. Despite the shiny look, the basic character remains dark, warm and slightly trashy - a perfect mix for musically versatile applications from pop to jazz to rock and indie.

Why the Masterwork Custom 18" Crash is convincing

The Masterwork Custom 18" is far more than just another crash cymbal: it is a real sound tool with soul. Its direct, fast attack is carried by a warm, dark sustain that is never intrusive, but can still hold its own in the band structure. The handcrafted production gives each cymbal an individual sound signature - no two cymbals sound exactly the same.

Drummers who are looking for their own personal sound and value musical expressiveness will be particularly impressed by the Custom Crash. It responds quickly without sounding harsh, sounds expressive but controlled - ideal for groovy, atmospheric or energetic passages.

Thanks to the high-quality materials, the careful hand finishing and the brilliant finish, this cymbal is not only an acoustic highlight, but also a visual eye-catcher in any setup.
