- Absolutely beautiful looking and sounding PROTOTYPE Paiste Dark Energy MARK I 20” Ride at 2322 grams.
- Aged and mellowed over 20” years giving it a natural played-in softness the nearly $800 new ones lack.
- Have a look. Have a listen.
- The surface is smooth and has built up a natural patina that accentuates the stick attack and mellows this big 20” considerably. The decay is quick for a 20”.
-
2322 grams.
- Paiste describes the Dark Energy as:
“A fusion of darkness, energy, projection and brilliance. Very wide range, complex, musical mix. Responsive feel, extremely controllable. Woody, silvery, spanky ping over crunchy, thriving wash. Extremely versatile, flexible ride for wide ranging application in modern blended music styles. Mark I: Tends to be a bit quieter, darker and drier. This manifests itself in the overall sound character and in particular in the bell and ping sound.”
- Now imagine that mellowed 20 + years. That’s this 20” PROTOTYPE.
- Dry and organic crash accents.
- Miraculously Paiste managed to cram dark, dry, organic and smooth seamlessly into one cymbal.
- Use it for any style. Very soft to loud.
- Typical light use. Small dent in the edge. Typical for this series. Beautiful killer patina that will continued to befriend it over time. A gorgeous cymbal.
- This beauty normally costs $760 new. Fortunately, you don’t have to pay anything close to that. And you can actually hear it first so you can buy with confidence!!
