Paiste Thin Ride

Series - Sizes

The Thin Ride is low pitched and has a soft, giving feel to it. The ping has wood in it, with a mellow sparkling quality, and floats on a thin, low, soft, "breath-like" cushion of sound. Although it opens easily with the shoulder of the stick and fades quickly, it is more quiet and subdued. The quick decay after strong crashes makes it easily controllable and forgiving. The overall sound appearance is an intimate warm breeze and a smooth, subtle ping. (1)
