The Paiste Signature Dark Crash Ride is a very cool and useful cymbal. Few crash rides can cut it amongst high end cymbals, because usually rides are better at riding and crashes are better at crashing. Crash rides are the awkward fusion of the two and quality models are hard to find. That being said, when a decent crash ride is available, it...
The Paiste 16'' Power Crash was the first high end cymbal I ever bought. My drum teacher recommended it, because it was used at the drum store I played at for a cheap price. I couldn't believe it when I first heard it, it was unlike anything I had heard up till that point and was much better than I thought cymbals could sound. Th...
(Originally written by poupaja/translated from Audiofanzine FR) Recently launched model. The sound is a mix of a Full crash and a Power crash with a bright finish (reflector). Pros: - Perfectly pure sound - It can be played like a ride cymbal (but not too aggressively) - Sound variations depending on th...
I owned my 2002 22" ride for a few years before sadly parting with it. I had it paired with an 18" crash from the 2002 series, and they were a match made in heaven, though I wished I could have had a 20" crash to fill it out. Paiste makes awesome cymbals, and they really shine when you get up into bigger sizes like 18"-20&quo...
I owned my Paiste 2002 18" crash for a couple of years before sadly parting with it. I like the lower overtones and the deep wash it gave me, which were mostly due to its 18" size. I started to stray away from smaller crashes and splashes due to the weak wash or sustain and harsh high frequencies, and ended up playing only a 18" c...
Got these from Musicians Friend. Alway's pricematch expensive equipment using Froogle. You can save a ton. Rudes have a reputation for being completely unique, and that\'s what I wanted. I was worried about getting their standard crash/rides, for fear of them being too heavey. As soon as they came out with the Thin Crashes, I jumped...
I aquired this cymbal at Guitar Center Used for about $75. Original price was about $115. Very responsive to a stick attack. Nice wash. Very good with a jazz session or a no-mike situation. Bell not really sounding too well, made a dead "ping". Not very projectable with a rock crash or any cymbal over 16"...
I Purchased 16", 18", and 20" Paiste Signature Power Crashes. These are worth every penny. I like EVERYTHING about these cymbals. They are bright, with long susteain, and tehre Extremely Cutting. Paiste Signature are the BEST cymbals in the world. NOTHING! These cymbals have the best quality,...
I bought this at a local drumstore in Sweden (great one, check out: www.drumcenter.se!!!) for about $270. I was looking for a crash with a big, rocking sound that would work in any environment or constellation. I love this one! It has a big sound, punchy attack and works well in any playing situation. I've played heavy...
I bought this at a drum shop used for 140.00. I am in a heavy metal band and needed a good durable cymbal that had alot of sound. I love the classic look of the cymbal. The Hand hammering really reveals itself in the bright shimmering sound it produces. It has a beautiful sound that beats my Zildjian A 18" Rock crash HANDS DOW...
