  • This is a very hard to find Bosphorus - the Traditional Factory “PAPER THIN” 18” Crash. Perfect condition. 

  • And they didn’t lie -  it’s extremely thin - Paper Thin at only 1110 grams.  The edges bend with ease and it is incredibly responsive with a golden shimmer. 

  • Very light and airy and papery sounding! 

  • And you don’t have to guess at a stock photo. Have a listen to this exact cymbal so you can buy with confidence! 

  • This is a zildjian K assassin - especially for the money. 

  • Fully lathed for maximum warmth with gorgeous Hand Hammering throughout for that famous Old World Turkish complexity.

  • This particular 18” Crash has a unique papery, golden shimmer to it.  Have a listen! It’s warm but has that inimitable Bosphorus paper-y wash. 

  • The wash is exactly what you would expect from a Top of the Line Bosphorus - broad spread, warm, glowing, great full Turkish tone. AND it is responsive at lower volume settings.

  • Beautiful at lower volumes. 

  • This particular Paper Thin has a strong complexity to it but it still maintains that inimitable CLEAN Bosphorus tone!

  • Because it’s a Paper Thin the wash dissipates fairly quickly, but it still has a glorious warm and full tone for a thinner cymbal!

  • If you have a light touch this 18” Traditional Crash also makes a great small Left Side Light Crash/Ride. And it pleads for rivets if you're so inclined.   

  • Perfect for very low to medium loud settings.  Beautiful to record.

  • Immaculate shape and very hard to actually find as a factory Paper Thin Crash  - especially when you can listen to it first.
