Previously limited to ride cymbals, in 2014 Paiste is expanding the range of its ever-popular Twenty Masters Collection series to include three new crashes and two hi-hats with new sounds and a new name – Masters Dark.

Renowned support

With the two jazz legends Gregory Hutchinson and Andre Ceccarelli on board, the renowned Swiss cymbal manufacturer has created warm-sounding hi-hats that combine traditional sounds with modern quality standards. The Masters Dark hi-hats are characterised by an incredibly airy, soft tonal quality, making them ideal for mellow musical styles. Whether closed or open, the Masters Dark hi-hat blends smoothly and softly into the mix and shines with clear, beautiful accents.

Handcrafted

The Masters Dark Hi-Hats are 100% handcrafted from high-quality CuSn20 bronze using traditional construction methods and meet the highest quality standards.
