„Paiste cymbals perfectly fit in every musical context I'm working in. Rock or pop, electronic music or movie soundtracks and sound design. Live or in the studio. It's just always perfect. The tone, the pitch, the texture, the look. And besides it's extensive sound palette, it's a legendary legacy that I'm happy to be a part of.“

Sound character: Dark, warm, smoky. Medium wide range, complex mix. Buttery, soft feel with quick response. Rich, dark, mystical crash sound with tender clarity. Extremely lively cymbal for broad accents and crashes in intimate to semi-loud settings. Well suited for delicate ride patterns or mallet swells. «For those guys who really appreciate just having a cymbal that can do everything, the larger Dark Crashes can do anything. Very crash-able, and if you want to ride on them, they will give you all the ride patterns in the world.» - Gregory Hutchinson
