Developed in collaboration with super metal drummer Joey Jordison of Slipknot, this 20" Black Alpha "Slipknot Edition" Metal Ride Cymbal cuts. Its designed for drummers who seek fairly priced cymbals with lethal looks, energy, versatility, and professional characteristics. This Metal Ride Cymbal is coated using the original black ColorSound coating and then silk-screened with a rich gold Alpha logo, model designation and Slipknot logo. The "Slipknot Edition" is Joey's personal selection of Alpha models. The ColorSound technology adds a bit of bite to the initial attack, centers the overtones, and adds raw presence to the entire sound character of this dark and exotic looking cymbal. They are manufactured using top-notch technologies, and then fine-tuned using traditional hand hammering. The combination of hi-tech and traditional methods creates great value for artists looking to conserve their investment in professional class Paiste cymbals
