Paiste Twenty Series Ride Cymbal

Paiste's continuous search for origin and truth in sound – energy, vibration, sensation – from manually malleable metals leads them back to the original bronze, with its primal and archaic sound potency, and which has remained preserved only in its traditional environment.

Through fateful events, a dialog emerged with Murat Diril from Turkey, who has spent his life learning the time-honored art of manufacturing the traditional bronze for cymbals, and who has brought it to a high degree of maturity. Paiste agreed with Murat Diril that they should combine their respective experiences and abilities in mutual respect and appreciation.

For Twenty Cymbals, Paiste receives blanks of hand crafted bronze from Murat Diril, which they then treat and refine in Switzerland according to their skills and criteria for sound and function. In the process, from the alloying to the shaping to the completion of the cymbals, Paiste utilizes hand craftsmanship exclusively. This is how Twenty cymbals come into being, cymbals of pure quality for the demanding requirements of drummers and percussionists.
