Series Description: Masters started out as an assemblage of twelve rides - exquisite and laboriously hand-manufactured cymbals made of CuSn20 bronze to achieve superior sound ideals in various musical genres. In 2014, three crashes and two hats join the series to expand the unique Masters sound atmosphere to additional cymbal types. Masters integrate the experience of the decades long art of cymbal making with the inspirations of international top drummers.

What is the Paiste Masters Thin Hi-Hat Top?

Hi-hats live or die on the relationship between the two cymbals. Paiste weights top and bottom as a pair so the closed chick is tight and the half-open wash is controllable, rather than leaving the drummer to match two pieces by ear. Singles are available where one half needs replacing.
