- Here’s a very rare, unique and collectible PAISTE PROTOTYPE! A Traditional with the factory “PROTOTYPE” written on the underside.
- What if that $605 Light Ride is TOO DAMN WASHY! Not enough stick attack??
- What’s a person to do???
- Well, Paiste doesn't care about you because they ONLY make a Light 20" Traditional now.
- But because I care…..
- I’m offering this wonderfully semi-DRY, golden warm, very RARE Paiste Traditional PROTOTYPE 20” Ride in amazing condition!
- And because I really care, you can even hear it before you buy!
- The Traditional series is Paiste’s warmest and darkest, and this Prototype is grown from that tree. But being a Prototype it has a much stronger stick attack than the standard Light model.
- Paste generally described these Traditionals as:
"Medium dark, warm, full. Medium wide range with fairly clean mix. Graceful, light feel, very coltrollable. Fairly strong woody ping. A dark ride cymbal with strength and projection."
- And that is the vibe of this beauty.
- With a weight of 2232 grams, this Rare 20” Prototype Traditional yields fantastic stick definition while still remaining dark and warm, wordy and organic.
- It has one of the strongest stick attacks of all rides in the Traditional Series. The bell is med-low in pitch and solid enough for the latin thing and even, funk, fusion and pop. The attack is stronger than the Med Light Ride and not as gong y/washy as the light Ride.
- So dark and low it could even pass as a 22”.
- This Prototype projects quite well. It is heavier and more dry and focused than the other Light Trads but it still has that dark, warm, organic nature.
- The world is your oyster.
- Amazing condition. No issues. Light golden patina.
- Collectible PROTOTYPE.
