- Aaaaaaaaaalmost a FLAT RIDE, but with a pinch more body! And this is one of THE CLEANEST and SMOOTHEST ones I’ve ever seen. It’s hard to conceive this gorgeous cymbals is nearly half-century-old.
- Here’s an exceedingly RARE PAISTE from what many people feel was their golden era:
- The Original SOUND CREATION MELLOW RIDE 20”.
- What made this Vintage series unique is that it had more soul and body and character than other Paiste Series. Paiste are famous for their clean and predictable tones. And that’s great, but they are also known to lack character.
- That’s where the Sound Creation Series is different. Debuting in the 1970s, luminaries like Jack DeJohnette famously used Sound Creations because we’re not the traditional cookie-cutter Paiste tones. They came from a different direction than the predictably Swiss sounds.
- Weighing in at delectable 2438 grams this Mellow Ride lives up to its name. As you can see it is Flat Ride adjacent. It’s perhaps the only Mini Bell I’ve ever seen Paiste offer.
- Flat Rides and Mini Cups have naturally controlled overtones and volumes. And that is exactly the case with this glowing 20”. The stick attack is magnificent, very light, and chime-like with a defined pin-point articulation. The ensuing wash is DARK, and well….MELLOW.
- This Vintage Paiste makes good on its promise. It’s the kind of cymbal that can be your voice. You can build a sound palette around this unique Sound Creation.
- Very dark, subtle chime-like stick attack, very controlled and focused wash that does not overpower the definition or a setup.
- Why the hell pay more for a ubiquitous big-box store Paiste Flat that everyone can grab?
- Play something unique! And this is one of the CLEANEST Vintage Sound Creations I have ever seen.
- It’s a joy to play an original! And it’s one of the cleanest you’ll find!
