505
Introduction: 1978
Discontinued: 1986
Background: The 505 is an evolution of the B8 Stambul.
Swiss 505's made in 1978 will have the ink stamping done in one line above the bell. In 1979 they changed the stamping to look like the 2002 stamps with Paiste over 505.(see picture)
The German black label stamping stayed the same from 1978-81. "Paiste 505" in one line. German black label 505's got serial numbers. Swiss black label 505's did not.
Early "black label" 505's ('78) were leftover restamped B8 Stambuls.(see picture)
Rogers never listed 505's in their catalogs or distributed them in the U.S. from 1978 to 1980
505's were not available in the U.S until ~1981 when Paiste opened their North American distribution center, by then they had the printed "green stamp" logo (see picture) along with an expanded selection of models and sizes, see chart below.
Innovation:
Alloy: CuSn8 (Also known as "2002 Bronze")
Quality: A truly affordable pro-quality cymbal at the student or semi-pro level. Paiste experience, craftsmanship and understanding of choice materials give these cymbals many professional features. (1)
Production: Cast cymbals using more mass production (automated) manufacturing methods with some manual hammering
Applications: All types of music, particularly pop and rock
Users:
Sound: 505 cymbals produce a fully resonant, vibrant sound. They are developed to provide the drummer with a good quality cymbal.(1)
All Paiste 505 cymbals give a true professional cymbal sound with clear character definition.
The ride cymbals have strong definite stick-rhythm sound. The multi-purpose medium cymbals can be used for loud, forceful crash or gentle ride effects.
Crash cymbals give compact, cutting accents. (2)
