amplified music.
Paiste 2002 Accent Cymbals sound bright, brilliant, and warm. Narrow range, clean mix. Very responsive
feel. Slightly shattering, explosive attack with warm, mellow bell-like fade. Features an exotic feeling, very dominant center
tone with soft, swirling over- and undertones. Come as a pair. In addition to use as accent cymbals, could also be used as
very unusual mini hats or mounted upside down over a ride bell.
