Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: Obviously if Paiste is going to consult with Dave Lombardo on making a ride cymbal, it's going to have strong definition, a cutting sound, and be able to take a beating. This cymbal does all of those things with ease. From behind the kit, this has a dark-ish sound, while from out front of the kit, it is just a bit brighter. It has a nice bell sound too. This is NOT a versatile cymbal, so don't think this will be the only ride you'll ever need. It's loud and brash, with the power to cut through a stack of Marshall amps, making mortal enemies of your bandmates.

Review: This is one of those cymbals that requires you to lay-in with a heavy stick. This way you get the full effect of the loud and shrill attack.

But it too has a surprising soft warmth underlying the undeniably aggressive intention. In fact if you crash it you get a huge, deep, satisfying roar.

A single hard tap to the body of the cymbal unleashes a clamorous tolling bell character. Leave it to resonate and revel in the long sustain surrounded by a full tone that is quite clear and diminishes uniformly without unduly clashing overtones. In other words a typically clean Paiste sound, pure but with ample scale.

Pounding out no-messing, driving eighth- note ride beats, the attack is undeniably intense and toppy, but is balanced by that high-pitched yet warm background wash. Part of the blueprint for extreme heavy rides involves increased bell sizes.

But this sometimes means that playing these oversized bells can be like clouting an anvil, resulting in a dead, wrist-jarring 'ting' if you don't catch them just right. Paiste seems to have avoided this by lathing the bell so that it remains resonant while benefitting from its size in terms of volume. Review written by Musicradar.com
