The names of the new 2019 Paiste cymbals have four keywords that not only describe them all, but also serve them best: Fast - Mellow - Dark and Extreme. The Extreme stands for the three new 2002 Extreme Crashes. The other types represent the new Signature Series that Paiste released to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the legendary 'Signature Alloy,' that started the decades long growing family of the Signature cymbals family. Watch and learn all about the new from Paiste for 2019 in less than 3 minutes!
The Signature Alloy In 1989, Paiste launched the Signature Series, using a bronze alloy specifically created for cymbal sound. This alloy - still a secret, of course - opened up a new realm of sound options for the company's Signature line. In 1996 the 'Signature Traditionals' were introduced, followed by the 'Signature Dark Energy' in 2004. This year, Paiste extends this line with the 15" Signature Dark Energy Hats.
