Here’s what the Drum Department say about Paiste Signature Line Cymbals

The Signature Series is Paiste’s highest quality cymbal range, entirely made by hand. These cymbals are designed to be musical, colourful and creative, to give a drummer an individual cymbal sound.

The Signature series also offers an alternative finish, named Reflector. Paiste employ a proprietary surface treatment process that gives the cymbals a shimmering finish, but without producing high levels of heat, which can alter the cymbal sound. The Reflectors have better separation between bell and bow, plus the frequency range is better layer, allowing these to have more overtones.

The Signature Series are perfect for drummers wanting the very best from their cymbal set up.

Here’s what the Paiste say about Signature Cymbals

Forged from a proprietary bronze developed specifically for cymbals, handcrafted from start to finish by highly skilled Swiss craftsmen, conceived and executed according to uncompromising sound concepts, Signature Cymbals are instruments of unsurpassed quality for the discerning drummer’s quest for personal creativity and musical excellence.

Category

Cymbals

Cymbals add accents, timekeeping, colour and dynamics to a drum setup. This category includes hi-hats, rides, crashes, splashes, Chinas and packs, each with different sizes, weights, profiles, alloys, hammering and finishes. Compare stick definition, wash, sustain, response, volume and how the cymbal will blend with the kit and musical style. A cymbal’s sound also depends on mounting and playing technique. Check the exact type and diameter, and remember that cymbal stands, bags and felts may need to be purchased separately.

Ride Cymbals

Ride cymbals provide a defined playing surface for timekeeping, with a bell and edge that can add accents or crashes. Compare diameter, weight, profile, bow response, bell size, stick definition, wash, sustain and whether the cymbal is designed to crash as well as ride. Larger or heavier rides often provide more projection, while lighter models may open more readily and blend into quieter music. Check the exact series and finish, and remember that a stand, boom, felt and wingnut are separate unless the listing says otherwise.
