Aiming to achieve the pinnacle of Paiste cymbals' signature "crystal sound," the Paiste signature model was first released in 1989, using the PAT.#4, 809, and 581 cymbals developed in 1987. The sharp, clear attack, vivid clarity, and wide dynamic range further expand the cymbal sound. From soulful sounds that reflect the heart, to sharp, straight, and tight sounds, to powerful, aggressive heavy sounds, these cymbals invigorate any musical scene. Each model has a distinctive sound and iconic name, and each one is meticulously crafted and subject to strict quality control. They are the culmination of Paiste's spirit of challenge and refined technology in the pursuit of true artistic realms. This is the ideal crash cymbal, representing Paiste's lineup. Its power at full impact is comparable to that of a cymbal one size larger. Its wide dynamic range makes it suitable for all-around playing.
