Paiste Masters Dark Flat Ride Cymbals

The Paiste Dark Masters Flat Rides are dark, smoky, warm, and mellow. They have a fairly narrow range, and complex mix with a soft, responsive, controllable feel. They produce a warm, articulate ping with a dark, smoky, slightly trashy wash. Well suited for fast, subtle playing in soft to medium loud situations.

• CuSn20 alloy, also known as Traditional Bronze
• Applicable in low to loud settings, live, and recording. Jazz, Blues, R&B, Funk, Pop, and Country

The Paiste Masters Series started out as an assemblage of twelve rides,  exquisite and laboriously hand-manufactured cymbals made of CuSn20 bronze to achieve superior sound ideals in various musical genres. Masters integrate the experience of the decades-long art of cymbal making with the inspirations of international top drummers.
