Lazer PE-075A-18 18" Brass Cymbal
Brass Cymbals for Drum Outfits
18‑inch diameter — larger size gives a lower pitch compared to the 16‑inch, with more wash/sustain and greater volume potential.
Brass construction — likely using a standard brass alloy, giving brighter initial attack, less complexity of overtones, faster decay than premium bronze cymbals.
Medium or “medium‑thin” thickness — strikes a balance between responsiveness (thinner → easier to “crash”) and projection (thicker → louder, more robust).
Lathed or partially lathed surface — grooves on the top help produce shimmering wash and contribute to tonal character; bottom maybe less detailed.
Traditional finish (non mirror, possibly raw or lightly polished) — helps the cymbal “cut” in a band/live setting in a sharper way.
Moderate bell size — the bell won’t dominate but enough to provide some clarity / articulation when struck.
Usage suited for practice / beginner‑intermediate players or as a crash‑ride type / effect cymbal in setups where volume and impact matter more than subtle tonal nuance.
