Since 1989 when the Paiste Signature series was introduced, there have been a few different versions of the Dry Heavy Ride.

Version #1

  • This version was made from 1989 to 1991, maybe into the beginning of 1992.
  • There are lots of small hammer marks, and they almost seem to appear randomly. Sometimes the marks don't touch the other marks, and sometimes there are a couple of small marks that are so close they appear to make one large mark.

  • The original 1970's style involved no additional lettering with the serial number such as series name.
  • All series (except Paiste 101) were using black labels during this era.

1981 - 1986

  • Starting in 1981, "PAISTE" started to be stamped above the serial number, often along with SERIES. (NOTE: This change occurred not at the beginning of the year, but sometime during it - some examples of the previous style exist with 1981 serial numbers.)
  • Like before, the first number indicates year - the following would be an example of 1982:
PAISTE 2002

  • Formula 602 was shortened to simply "602".

  • 1982 Formula 602

  • Sound Creation was located under PAISTE, due to space limitations.
