Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: More complex sounding than the 2002 8" Bell. Great for quick accents, can cut through loud music well. Played with the tip of the stick produces a nice "ding" with some light overtones. Crashing it produces a loud, cacophonous sound, with a long sustain.

Review: I really like this. A surprisingly deep, crystal clear ping with a long sustain. It’s the aural equivalent of a fast running glacial stream on a crisp January (July for our southern hemisphere friends) morning.
I’m unsure of the correct word but it’s almost as if the sound modulates around your head – it has a hauntingly hypnotic tone.
Thankfully the volume is up to the task and provided you’re not playing thrash/grind at full pelt this cymbal can be heard adding its unique sound to your kit.
