Paiste Twenty
Introduction: 2007
*a major expansion occurred in 2008
Discontinued: 2012
Background: Our continuous search for new ways to create cymbal sounds from manually malleable metals has taken us back to the primal and archaic sound energy of traditional CuSn20 bronze • From such alloy the Twenty series is made of and combines the Turkish ancient knowledge with the Swiss precision and our time-honored methods • A symbiosis, a completely new blend of sound character.
Innovation: To create cymbals of true and dignified quality for highest demands of professional drummers and percussionists.
Alloy: B20 Bronze, also known as "Bell Bronze".
Quality: Professional
Production: Manual craftsmanship • Hand hammering, hand lathing • Proprietary manufacturing methods
Offered as: Twenty (Original Series) - Twenty Masters Twenty Custom
Applications: Medium soft to loud settings • Live and recording • Pop, Blues, Soul, Rock, Jazz, Big Band, R&B, Country, Acoustic Music, percussive settings, classical applications and Latin styles.
Users: Professional drummers, recording artists, studio owners • Sound enthusiasts and collectors.
Sound: Warm, broad, deep, sparkling, dark, oriental, trashy, bright and forceful • Cymbals with a certain raw and untamed sort of a mystical force, yet with the harmony, balance and consistent quality that is a Paiste trademark for decades.
