  • Here’s a stunning cymbal from Paistes FIRST modern foray into Hand Hammered cymbals.  

  • Literally.  

  • One of the FIRST ONES!  A Factory Stamped “PROTOTYPE” from their Original Twenty Series.  

  • Incredibly clean too - especially for being about 17 years old!  PERFECT Shape! 

  • Dark. Full. And projects very well.  
  •  This particular 18” spawned the Original Twenty Series and the entire Twenty Series blossomed from THAT seed!

  • 1622 grams which is a pinch thinner than the standard model I have. 

  •  Plays like a DARK Medium Full Crash, definitely more complex than standard Paiste 2002s and Signatures - and that was the whole idea! This is Hand Hammered and you can tell. 

  • Still very Paiste clean!  Like Paiste had a long weekend tryst with Istanbul. That’s the vibe.

  • Makes a beautiful small LIGHT COMPLEX RIDE with a delicate touch.  

  • Super clean. No longer available.  Perfect for medium low to loud settings.

  • The Rare Factory Stamped “PROTOTYPE CRASH” Original. Amazing shape. 

  • Collectible.
