The 20" Paiste Masters Extra Thin Cymbal is physically and acoustically, characterized by particular subtlety. Inspired by iconic studio master Jim Keltner's ideas for sound and function, Paiste's Sound Development created a warm, soft crash that unobtrusively and discreetly embeds itself in soft musical situations. Moreover, the swift decay supports even delicate ride playing. The Extra Thins feel incomparably soft. Their sensitive response allows hand playing and wonderful crescendos with mallets.
