Paiste Masters Collection 21" Dark Dry Ride

Masters started out as an assemblage of twelve rides - exquisite and laboriously hand-manufactured cymbals made of CuSn20 bronze to achieve superior sound ideals in various musical genres. Crashes, hi-hats and FX cymbals joined the series to expand the unique Masters sound. Masters integrate the experience of the decades long art of cymbal making with the inspirations of top international drummers.

A wide variety of sound concepts from dark to bright, dry to sustaining, pronounced to washy, smooth to strong. Each cymbal has its very own sound character that has to be experienced.

The 21" Dark Dry Ride has a silvery ping over a rather short sustained and dusty wash. Ideally suited for articulated and precise playing in most musical styles
