  • Paiste Twenty Series

    Paiste's B20 line

  • 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.
