Christian Wenzel, who you might know from our NAMM coverage of Paiste, introduced us at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Germany the Paiste Twenty Custom Collection. In the videos below he shows you the cymbals, and lets you hear the incredible mass and volume they have. Some true highlights are the new Twenty Custom Hihats and the 18" Thin China. This Thin China produces a surprisingly unexpected full and loud sound. All cymbals have a brilliant and clear sound, with a long, steady and open durance at first contact.
