The Paiste Signature seriesPaiste Signature series cymbals are crafted using Paiste's proprietary Signature Alloy. Signature cymbals sound full and bright, with strong presence and projection. They have a crisp, focused character, and articulately respond to your stick attack. Above all, Signature series cymbals are eminently musical. Signature Precision series cymbals are made from the same Signature alloy using a streamlined manufacturing process to give you Signature sound at a more affordable price.
Paiste - a tradition of innovationHeadquartered in Switzerland, Paiste meets the creative needs of drummers and percussionists with innovative cymbals, gongs, and bronze percussion instruments. Founded at the beginning of the 20th Century, Paiste lays claim to a number of cymbal firsts, including the first use of 8% bronze, the wavy-edged hi-hat bottom cymbal, the bell-less flat ride, unlathed hammered cymbals, color-coated cymbals, China cymbals with a downturned edge, and the invention of their Signature Bronze Alloy. World-class drummers such as Bill Bruford, Stewart Copeland, and Vinnie Colaiuta - and many of the drummers here at Sweetwater - rely on Paiste cymbals to forge their signature sounds - and you can, too!
