The WHD practice 18" crash ride cymbal is a perfect solution to drummers that need near silent practice conditions, but still maintain the same feeling of a high quality cymbal. The cymbal gets its reduced noise properties from the drilled holes, giving less resonance than a standard cymbal, but with all the robustness and feel. In a contemporary nickel finish, this cymbal will allow you to play longer in to the night without upsetting the neighbors.
