You get the darkness and warm complexity of the Sound Creation Dark Hats mixed with the BONE CRUNCHING CHICK of the Sound Edge Hats. And who doesn’t love that story.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs many of you may know, Paiste breathed life into the Sound Creations with the help and inspiration from Jack Dejohnette in the 70s and discontinued the line in the 80s. The B20 Alloy Sound Creations sound like NO MODERN PAISTE on the market today. The 70s and 80s were a unique era for Paiste, they were stretching and blossoming sonically. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMagnificent clarity on this Sound Edge pair. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the Sound Creations, Paiste really colored outside of the lines. The entire series sounds nothing like their other cymbals. It’s almost as the SCs were made by a different company. They’re dark—ish, but they STILL project. They’re very complex, but retain definition and still have that clean Paiste focus. Truly brilliant cymbals.\u2028As you can see, both the Top and Bottom Cymbals are Heavily Hammered. The lathing is extremely fine...like a vintage Giant Beat. The weights are 972 grams for the Top Cymbal and 1254 for the Bottom Cymbal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaiste dark, but still CLEAN and CRISP and with an inimitable shimmering brilliance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome of the cleanest ones I’ve ever seen.
