PAISTE 17 & 19 Odds and Ends to Even Out Matters
The renowned cymbal maker Paiste announces the launch of new sizes to a selected range of crash models.
Responding to popular demand from drummers and retailers world-wide, Paiste is making the Formula 602 Modern Essentials Crash, the Masters Dark Crash, and the PST 7 Crash & Thin Crash models available in 17″ and 19″ sizes. The new odd sized models offer Paiste aficionados a greatly improved selection for ever finer gradation in the selection of crash cymbals.
The Modern Essentials Crash models present clear, rich and strong accentuation, smooth feeling, and an explosive attack that fades quite swiftly. Modern Essentials cymbals were developed in collaboration with Vinnie Colaiuta, based on the venerable Formula 602.
The Masters Dark Crash models exude darkness, warmth, tender clarity, and a buttery, soft feel. Masters Dark Crashes were developed in collaboration with Gregory Hutchinson.
The PST 7 Crash models are bright, warm and brilliant with wide range, clean mix and responsive feel. The PST 7 Thin Crash models are warm and airy with a pinch of brilliant sizzle and a soft, responsive feel. PST 7 cymbals are the latest series in the Paiste Sound Technology range, and have since astonished the drumming world with their outstanding performance-to-price ratio.
Paiste enjoys a unique and excellent reputation for reliable design and consistency with respect to precise progression of pitch, function and volume across a range of sizes for a given, defined crash model. Formula 602, Masters and PST 7 cymbals are made by hand in Switzerland using traditional methods that have remained unchanged in over half a century.
