  • Technical line drawing of Paiste 2002 Crash

    Paiste 2002 Crash

    2002 Series crash cymbal family

    Cymbal · Switzerland

    A Paiste 2002 Series crash cymbal family associated with bright, full classic rock crash sounds.

  • PANArt Hang

    An instrument invented in 2000, and no longer made

    Hand percussion · Switzerland

    Two nitrided steel shells glued at the rim, hammered into a tuned central note and a ring of tone fields, played with the hands rather than sticks. PANArt built the Hang from 2000 to 2013, never in quantity and never to order, and every handpan since descends from it.

  • Paiste 2002

    CuSn8 (B8) bronze cymbal series

    Cymbal · Switzerland

    Introduced in 1971 for amplified rock, the 2002 is Paiste's classic cymbal series made from CuSn8 bronze (also called 2002 bronze or B8, roughly 92 percent copper and 8 percent tin). It is known for a brilliant, warm, cutting tone across crashes, rides, hi-hats and effects.

  • Paiste Formula 602

    Swiss-made B20 (CuSn20) cymbal series

    Cymbal · Switzerland

    A premium hand-made cymbal series forged from Paiste's traditional 602 Bronze (CuSn20, a B20 alloy) by Swiss craftsmen, producing a true, pure, clear, dark-to-warm sound.

  • Paiste Giant Beat

    Vintage B8 (2002 Bronze) cymbal series

    Cymbal · Switzerland

    A B8 (CuSn8 / 2002 Bronze) cymbal series faithfully recreated and relaunched in 2005 from 1960s designs, delivering a big, warm, brilliant vintage rock sound.

  • Paiste Masters

    Hand-made B20 (CuSn20) cymbal series

    Cymbal · Switzerland

    A hand-manufactured cymbal series made of CuSn20 (B20) Traditional Bronze, offering warm, full, rich, deep tones from dark to bright for jazz, blues, R&B, funk, pop, and country.

  • Paiste PST 7

    Affordable B8 (CuSn8) cymbal series

    Cymbal · Switzerland

    An affordable Swiss hand-crafted cymbal series with a CuSn8 (B8) bronze base derived from the 2002 line, offering a warm and clear sound across three weight classes.

  • Paiste RUDE

    Raw, powerful B8 (2002 Bronze) cymbal series

    Cymbal · Switzerland

    A B8 (CuSn8 / 2002 Bronze) cymbal series in production since 1980, with a raw, metallic, powerful, cutting voice and heavy mid-range harmonics built for loud rock, metal, and punk.

  • Paiste Signature

    Signature Bronze cymbal series

    Cymbal · Switzerland

    The Signature series is handcrafted in Switzerland from Paiste's proprietary Signature Bronze, an alloy developed specifically for cymbals. It is voiced for a musical, rich, full and expressive sound that works across most volume settings and styles, in both live and recording use.

  • PANArt Pang Instruments

    What the workshop made after the Hang

    Hand percussion · Switzerland

    PANArt stopped making the Hang and moved to the Pang family — gubal, pangs, and hardened-steel forms that ask to be played differently. The workshop has always treated the instruments as its own line of enquiry rather than a product line.

  • Paiste Twenty Series

    Paiste's B20 line

    Cymbal · Switzerland

    The Twenty series was Paiste's move into B20 bronze — the alloy its Turkish and North American rivals had always used — and produced a warmer, more complex sound than the company's signature alloys.

  • Paiste Signature Traditionals

    The dark corner of a famously bright catalogue

    Cymbal · Switzerland

    Traditionals apply heavy hand hammering and a dark finish to Paiste's Signature alloy, producing cymbals far warmer than the company's usual voice — the light flat ride is the best known.
