Paiste 101
101
Introduction: 1979
Discontinued: 1985
Background: The original 101 was an entry-level Nickel-Silver line made in Paiste's German factory replacing the SUPER as the company's low budget offering.
The 101s received an embossed logo with black ink type stamps for the first two years of production.
Starting in 1981, the cymbals got silk screened logos in a pretty teal color for the rest of the run. Paiste would later revive the 101 name for lt's budget brass cymbals.
These low volume, classic sounding cymbals are good for jazz and other quieter music applications.
