Paiste Masters 20inch Extra Dry Ride

Decades of Swiss cymbal craftsmanship meet the creative demands of world–class drummers in the Paiste Masters 20" Extra Dry Ride. This medium thin weight cymbal brings together traditional manufacturing expertise with contemporary musical inspiration, creating an instrument that speaks to serious percussionists across multiple genres.

The sonic character is distinctly dark, very dry, and deep, offering a medium wide range with a complex mix that remains highly controllable. Players will appreciate the fairly soft, bouncy feel that responds beautifully to nuanced playing techniques. The stick sound cuts through with a pronounced, woody quality that sits perfectly in the mix.

With its woody, pronounced, warm ping sitting over a very dry low–pitched wash, this 20" ride excels in controlled musical situations. The short sustain and fairly integrated bell character make it a precise, earthy choice for defined playing across many musical styles, operating comfortably in the low to medium loud volume range.
