Paiste Presence Meets B20 Darkness
Rolled thin and handcrafted from blanks of real Turkish B20 bronze, the Paiste Masters Series — now available in the first-ever Masters Thin boxed set — offers darkness and warmth unmatched by other Paiste cymbals. This 5-piece set equips today's drummer for the gassiest jazz to the swampiest rock and metal. To some players, the 22" Thin Ride, with its massive wash and penetrating, throaty attack, could be worth the price of admission alone. Also included are a pair of symphonic-like Extra Thin crashes, oversized 15" Thin Hi-hats, and a bonus PSTX Series 18" Swiss Thin Crash for FX applications. Each cymbal in this collection has been hand-paired by Paiste's renowned Swiss cymbal artisans for the greatest tonal complement. Whether you're after darkness, depth, or devastation, you'll find it in the Paiste Masters Thin cymbal set from Sweetwater.

Masters Series boxed set — a Paiste first
This is the first time these Paiste Masters Series cymbals have been available as a boxed set. Not only do you save money over buying them individually, but the addition of the free 18" PSTX Swiss Thin Crash makes the Masters Thin set a particularly tantalizing deal.
The Paiste Masters Series at a Glance
Swiss-made B20 cymbals
What Paiste initially envisioned as an assemblage of 12 handcrafted ride cymbals, each with their own character and genre-specific traits, has blossomed into an entire series of intensely musical crashes, hi-hats, and effects cymbals: the Paiste Masters series. Paiste Masters cymbals are proudly made in Switzerland from Turkish blanks of musical B20 bronze using Paiste's carefully guarded traditional crafting techniques.
Turkish bronze meets Paiste craftsmanship
Though Paiste is best known for its penetrating 2002 and Signature bronze alloys, the Masters Series marks a step in a different direction. Every cymbal in the Masters Thin cymbal set begins life as a blank of real Turkish B20 bronze before being breathed into with the Paiste breath of life. As a result, these cymbals exhibit B20 darkness and mystery alongside Paiste's famous presence and definition.
Dark, devastating washes
When crashed, the Masters Thin set's crashes and rides reward the player with a massive musical wash. This has made them especially popular among country and rock drummers who like their big, earthy crashes.
Perfectly consistent from cymbal to cymbal
Just as the International Bureau of Weights and Measures has the official kilogram under lock and key, Paiste has a master of every Masters Series cymbal — every crash, ride, hi-hat, splash, and swish — against which to compare all like cymbals. This means the cymbals you hear in an official Paiste demo and the ones you buy from Sweetwater are carefully tuned to sound as similar as possible.
