Perfectly suited for fast ride patterns at extreme volumes in metal music settings.
This 20" Paiste Alpha Metal Ride Cymbal features a brilliant finish with a metallic, strong, focused,
and dynamic character. It has a fairly narrow range and a raw mix of frequencies. You'll get a heavy feel combined with a
strong, glassy ping over an aggressive, icy wash with subtle undertones.
Alpha cymbals were first launched by Paiste
in 1992. Today, the Alpha brand is synonymous with dependability, and the cymbals are well known for their first-class sound
and fair prices. The Alpha Series is now available in a Brilliant Finish, once again advancing these trusted qualities.
The
brilliant look is accomplished by skilled craftsmen who hand polish the Paiste cymbals to a mirror perfect finish in the final
production stage. Prior to that, top-notch hi-tech processes give Alpha cymbals their initial shape and strength. They are
further enhanced by traditional hand-hammering.
Alpha cymbals have become very popular among professional artists,
especially in rock and metal. Working with such drummers, Paiste developed new cymbal models to expand the arsenal available
for players in these genres.
Paiste Alpha cymbals have developed a strong following in recent years and are today endorsed
by numerous working drummers all over the world, such as Jeremy Spencer of Five Finger Death Punch, Jason Sutter with Chris
Cornell, Dave Witte of Municipal Waste, Tommy Portimo of Sonata Arctica, and Steven Spence of Black Tide.
