Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: It's nice and trashy, fairly quick, with that exotic flair that Paiste Chinas are known for. While being about 100 grams lighter than my 2002 18' China, it's actually just a little higher-pitched. It's quick to respond without the need to really "lay into" it with brute force.

Its design is pretty much identical to the 2002 - same bell, flange, and lathing. See the video above for a comparison of these two so you can hear for yourself.
