Sounds Catalog
The Sounds collection is a very interesting family of unique percussion instruments. Our concept for this collection is deliberately broad, allowing us to add innovative sounds without limitations. In creating these instruments,
Paiste has utilized a wide variety of alloys in order to achieve the best possible sound realization.
The collection includes traditional instruments, our own interpretations of those sounds, as well as our own
unique creations in sound and function in order to expand the instrumental repertoire of drummers and percussionists. Some of Paiste’s percussive sounds are designed specifically for traditional percussion scores, while
others offer interesting alternatives to instruments that are traditionally called for but are difficult to procure. Contemporary percussionists will find all of our percussive sounds interesting and valuable.
Many of our percussive sounds are easily integrated into a traditional drum set and offer unusual sound colors
for wider musical creativity.
