22" Paiste 1000 Series Heavy – 3629g (1991)

Serial Number: #177079
Condition: Excellent

Originally part of the Paiste 1000 Hand & Suspended Series, this cymbal was designed as a heavy, professional-level orchestral and marching cymbal, crafted from CuSn8 Bronze (2002 Bronze). While intended for powerful hand use, it translates exceptionally well into a commanding heavy ride with impressive projection and rich, cutting complexity that easily slices through amplified music.

Sound & Character:

  • Powerful, full-bodied tone with strong presence
  • Excellent complexity and clarity for a cymbal of this weight
  • Ideal as a heavy ride with authority and definition
  • Cuts effortlessly in loud, amplified settings

Notable Use & Context:
The Paiste 1000 series gained visibility beyond marching applications—most famously when Tommy Lee used two 20" medium-weight models as his main crashes in the late 1980s, highlighting the series’ versatility and raw power.

Highlights:

  • Rare 22" heavy model in excellent condition
  • Professional-grade CuSn8 bronze construction
  • Unique crossover cymbal: orchestral strength with rock-ready performance
  • Perfect for drummers seeking maximum projection and weighty ride presence
