Paiste cymbals have amazed the drumming world for over 100 years with their clarity; rich, brassy voice; and remarkable sustain — not to mention their handcrafted quality. The Paiste Masters Series Thin 22" ride cymbal carries on that tradition with beautiful, brilliant visual shine and a tonal complexity. It has a fairly narrow response range and a heavy feel that's unusual for such a thin ride. Its wash is somewhat raw and earthy but tight and controlled. The Masters Series Thin 22" ride cymbal cuts through the mix well in louder settings to deliver a glassy, strong ping and piercing waves from its compact bell.
