Product Description

Paiste 16" Signature Full Crash, 16" Full Crash

On the way to an optimal cymbal sound, a special Paiste sound alloy from patented bronze was developed for the signature series. The result are instruments that have been gaining recognition since their introduction in 1989, and have proven themselves both in the studio and life. The sound has a high expressive power and can be described as filigree, transparent, musical, emotional and colourful.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Signature series offers a richer, more complex tone with more overtones than the brighter, more direct Twenty series. Signature has a more 'vintage' vibe.
Absolutely. It’s loud and cuts through well, but still retains musicality; it’s not just a clang.
A nylon tip stick will help preserve the finish and produce a warmer tone. A traditional wood tip will bring out more of the cymbal’s bright character.
