No need to pay $550 for a guess at a stock photo and what your cymbal sounds like. And these are very hard to actually find in stock! But I have one right here and it’s a beauty! Clean and crisp sounding. 

Check out this beautiful Paiste DARK ENERGY Mark 1 Crash right here! And it is in the elusive 17” size! There are not many of these out there and certainly not many that you can hear before you buy so you can buy with confidence.

Paiste Flagship DARK ENERGY 17” Crash.

Paiste brilliantly married their two greatest modern series, the Traditional and the Signature and formed the Dark Energy. It takes the best of both series and combines them into one AMAZING SOUNDING
Cymbal.

The weight is 1248 grams. 

And where Paiste really cracks the Riddle of the Sphinx is that they have somehow managed to create a Dark Crash that is still PAISTE CLEAN! Dark is one thing, dark AND crisp AND clean--now that's an accomplishment.

This specific 17” is nothing shy of glorious! 

Being the rare 17” it opens quickly and decays faster than your standard size 18”. 

Perfect for soft to medium loud. 

Fantastic condition with no cracks or issues. Typical light use with a nice patina naturally built up.  And not $550 for a stock photo guess!
