Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "I must confess to having a soft spot in my heart for Paiste flatrides. In my younger days, I owned a beautiful 20" 602. But during one of my leaner periods while playing in a hard-rock band, that flat ride seemed less essential to my well-being than buying gas for my car and another six-pack of Skippy, so I sold it. I've since wondered how I ever could have been that hungry.
Nostalgia aside, these Traditionals flats are nicer than my old 602—certainly warmer and a little broader. Although they differed in pitch (the 18" being higher), the two models' tonal quality was identical—another example of Paiste's characteristic consistency. Their attack produces not so much "ping" as "click" and "tss"; it's all sibilance. But beneath that crisp stick sound dwells a subtle, organic tone that keeps them musical. Very nice indeed."
