Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "With the oversized bell - practically a separate playing surface - their sound had more of an airy "whaa" to it."

Review written by Martin Patmos ("Paiste's Redesigned Alpha Cymbals - Updated Looks And Sound", Modern Drummer, September 2006, p. 36)

Review: "The Metal splashes, especially the 12", had a cool Chinese Feng-gong-type sound, where the pitch distorts and dips when you hit the cymbal. Beyond their capacity for quick accents in extreme metal situations, I can also see these splashes being useful in multi- percussion settings where you want to explore more unusual tones."
