Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: " sideward swipe across the edge of the crash causes it to rise rapidly, immediately tailing-off with a subtle shimmer. When choked, it halts immediately, without the after-ring evident on the crash of the Black Alphas reviewed last month.
"The hi-hats have a crispness about them which is cutting, but not overpowering"
This could be perfect for jazz but is too light and wispy for anything like hard rock, offering little resistance to a pair of fat sticks! The hi-hats have a crispness about them which is cutting, but not overpowering. Half-open they sizzle effortlessly away, intertwining with any passage of music with warmth and restraint."
