- This is and extremely versatile and even sounding Dark Energy. And it’s in amazing condition.
- Hardly anyone actually has these in stock - not just a google stock photo but in-stock where you can actually HEAR IT so you can buy with confidence.
- And they cost $914 new! For a guess at tone. Fortunately you don’t need to pay all that for a guess! Listen to this exact HUGE 22”.
- Paiste Dark Energy MARK II 22” Ride in amazing shape. Super clean with very little use.
- Paiste describes this cymbal 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."
- As for the "woody" and "spanky," those words should never be used in the same sentence. Gross! C'mon now Paiste.
- Weighing in at a perfect 2990 grams, this Dark Energy Mark II 22” plays like a great DARK, SEMI-DRY, WARM Medium Ride. The tone is organic, warm, and the attack is prominent but not overbearing and clanky.
- Again, this specific Dark Energy 22” is extremely well-rounded and smooth sounding for the series. It’s a perfect blend of dark, clean and organic - and that’s damn near impossible to find.
- The bell is SOLID and medium low pitched. Crash on it for a roaring darkness.
- Goes from very quiet to loud settings with ease.
- No cracks. Great shape. Typical light use, golden patina.
- This has been Paiste’s FLAGSHIP CYMBAL for 2 decades, and you can tell. And you can hear this one first and pay no where near $914 for a guess.
