Product Description

Paiste 20" Signature Full Ride, Paiste Signature Line, 20" full Ride

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.

The Full Ride of the Signature line is a versatile, medium weight ride with rich harmonies and a silver ping. The bell ring is clear, crisp and clearly separated from the actual sound body of the cymbal.

PROS
  • • Excellent clarity and definition across the entire cymbal surface
  • • The bronze alloy delivers a warm, complex harmonic content
  • • Bell produces a crisp, well-defined, and articulate projection
  • • Signature line construction ensures exceptional durability and longevity
CONS
  • • Can be a bit bright for players seeking a darker, washier sound
  • • Premium-priced, representing a significant investment for many drummers
  • • Limited versatility; not ideal for genres demanding heavier, trashier sounds
