Paiste 505 Crash 18' - moosers's review
The Paiste 505 Crash 18" is a pretty standard crash cymbal for use in the context of a full drum kit. I'm primarily not a drummer, but recently played a family member's drum kit who had this cymbal …
Paiste 2002 Thin China 16'' - moosers's review
The Paiste 2002 16” Thin China is a colorful cymbal that is a great addition to anyone’s drum set. I’m not a drummer myself, but have played extensively with a drummer who has one of these and who u…
Paiste 2002 China 18'' - sanjuro's review
As much as I love the Paiste 2002 line, I am not a big fan of their China cymbals. These have the other admirable 2002 qualities such as durability or uniqueness. However, as chinas they don't sound…
Paiste 2002 Ride 20" - sanjuro's review
The Paiste 2002 20" Ride is the Paiste cymbal that I have owned the longest. It was my first ride, so I am pretty partial to it. It is probably not the best from the line, but it gets the job done.…
Paiste 2002 Crash 20" - sanjuro's review
Like the other cymbals in the 2002 line, this is good for rock music. The 20" crash has truly amazing power. The 2002's already pack a punch, so supplying 20 inches is almost out of control. This …
Paiste 2002 Crash 16" - sanjuro's review
The Paiste 2002 16" crash is an excellent cymbal for rock music. I think that the crashes in this line are the highlight and are a great deal for their quality. A few steps down from the signatures…
Paiste Signature Reflector Dry Ride 20'' - sanjuro's review
The Paiste Signature Reflecor Dry Ride is one of the most interesting cymbals I have ever seen or heard. I knew about the line for a while, but hadn't come across one of these until last year. I wa…
Paiste Signature Dry Ride 20" - sanjuro's review
The Paiste Signature Dry Ride is my favorite paiste ride, and I have played almost all of them. My biggest fault with the sound of many Paiste cymbals is that they are too wet, too bright, and too p…
Paiste 505 Hit-Hat 14" - sanjuro's review
This was the first set of hi hats I ever bought, and I still occaisionally gig with them today. The 505's are a really interesting line because people often mistake them for the 2002's. The 505's a…
Paiste Signature Dark Crash/Ride 20'' - sanjuro's review
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 crash…
Paiste Signature Power Crash 16'' - sanjuro's review
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 w…
Paiste Signature Reflector Heavy Full Crash 19'' - Audiofanzine FR's review
(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…
Paiste 2002 Deep Full Ride 22'' - goodbyebluesky's review
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 …
Paiste 2002 Crash 18" - goodbyebluesky's review
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 starte…
