This 16 in Signature Thin China from Paiste is a real gem for players seeking a nuanced and expressive China cymbal. It’s fantastic for genres like jazz, fusion, and even softer rock where you need that explosive shimmer without overpowering the kit. The short sustain keeps things clean and focused in tighter arrangements.
Product Description
Paiste 16" Signature Thin China, 16" Thin China
On its quest to develop the optimal cymbal sound, a special Paiste sound alloy from patented bronze was developed for the signature series. The result is instruments that have been gaining recognition since their introduction in 1989, and have proven themselves both in the studio as well as live. The sound is highly expressive and can be described as delicate, transparent, musical, emotional and colourful
- The Thin China of the signature line offers a dark
- full and "trashy" sound. From the first hit very explosive
- then follows a soft
- short sustain. Good for the lower volume range
- "Trashy"
- bright
- explosive attack
- Wide frequency spectrum
- Short sustain
- Allows everything from the quick accent to the complex China Ride
- • Paiste’s Signature Bronze alloy delivers a uniquely expressive and complex sonic character.
- • The thin profile provides an explosive attack quickly transitioning to a short, controlled sustain.
- • Excellent dynamic range—performs well at both quiet and loud playing volumes.
- • The 'intrashyin' quality adds a shimmering, almost vocal-like element to the sound.
- • The thinness makes it potentially more susceptible to damage from aggressive playing.
- • The signature bronze alloy is premium-priced, representing a significant investment.
- • While versatile, it’s less suited for extremely heavy, modern metal styles.
