-
Some of the best Paistes fall under this umbrella - The SOUND CREATION!
-
And this particular 20” is clean too and has a very subtle MELLOWNESS to it. More mellow and smooth than the name suggests.
-
It’s well over 40 years old but looks like a much newer cymbal.
- Overall clean looking and very clean sounding.
- While other cymbal companies boast of their each-cymbal-unique approach, Paiste is known for its fastidiously clean, consistent tone. They’ve built their empire off that model.
-
And in the annals of Paiste history, that’s exactly what makes this Sound Creations unique. This cymbal is made of the B20 alloy from the 70/80s. It’s like a seldom seen brother to the Vintage 602.
-
Super fine lathing with the telltale Vintage SC hammering.
-
Very chime-like SMOOTH stick attack that cuts extremely well but maintains a mellowness to it. A perfect blend of crystalline, clean but with some warmth as well!
- And as promised, it is bright - but not super bright, it has a smoothness to it. Being the Sound Creation, it’s a different type of bright.
- Terrific definition that has no problem cutting - overall slightly complex yet not in a typical trashy fashion, this is its own world of complexity. Solid bell.
- Sounds fantastic from low to loud volumes. Fantastic under the mic as well!
- No issues. Great shape for its age.
- It’s a joy to play. And it’s a rare one! A lot of fun to explore.
