The A Fast Crash 14" is a small crash cymbal that hits hard then fades fast, without dragging. It is for quick accents a large crash would smear: a punctuation in a fill, a hit on an offbeat, one more colour between two phrases.

What sets it apart
  • Strong initial attack, smooth and fast decay
  • Very high brightness, rated 9 out of 10 by Zildjian
  • Thin weight with a soft, "buttery" feel
  • Redesigned bell for a full, musical sound

Small, but not a splash

At 14", the Fast Crash keeps a true crash character: a full sound, with body. Where a splash snaps with almost no note, it bursts with a spread of overtones before fading. On Zildjian's Sound Lab scale, its sustain is only 2 out of 10: that is what makes it so clean in busy playing.

What it's for

Frequently asked questions
Fast crash or regular crash?
A regular crash lets the accent ring; the Fast Crash cuts it short after a firm attack. If your crashes pile on top of each other in busy passages, the Fast Crash solves that.
Fast crash or thin crash?
Both are thin. The Thin Crash balances attack and sustain and keeps a broad wash; the Fast Crash puts everything into the attack and fades very quickly, especially at 14".
Splash or small crash?
An 8" or 10" splash gives a very short, almost dry accent. This 14" crash stays fuller and more musical while still dying away quickly. Many drummers use both.
