{"product_id":"paiste-twenty-masters-collection-dark-ride-20-182047","title":"Twenty Masters Collection Dark Ride 20\"","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Masters series was born as a collection of twelve rides, designed to achieve high sonic ideals across a wide variety of styles. This approach is based on decades of experience in the art of cymbal making, combined with inspiration from renowned international drummers. In 2014, the Masters family expanded with the addition of crashes and hi-hats to extend this unique sound atmosphere to other types of cymbals, while maintaining the same handcrafting standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTarget Audience for This Drum\/Instrument\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Masters cymbal is aimed at the \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert\u003c\/strong\u003e drummer seeking a high-end, nuanced, and controlled tone that is easy to place in a mix without harshness. Its \u003cstrong\u003ewarm and dark\u003c\/strong\u003e character, highlighted by a \u003cstrong\u003esharp but controlled stick definition\u003c\/strong\u003e, is particularly suited for modern jazz, funk, pop, RnB, indie, instrumental music, and all aesthetics where presence is desired without excessive volume. The indication \"ideal for small stages\" also makes it an excellent option for clubs, TV sets, intimate venues, and amplified contexts where the cymbal must remain clear at low levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned around a CuSn20 alloy (traditional bronze), this cymbal emphasizes a \u003cstrong\u003equick response\u003c\/strong\u003e and a very controllable feel under the stick. Ride playing benefits from a \u003cstrong\u003eprecise stick sound\u003c\/strong\u003e with restrained brightness, while the crash function remains available thanks to a progressive and musical openness. The mentioned \"oriental\" tint translates into a hint of complexity in the harmonics, useful for adding depth to accents without tipping into an overwhelming sound. The result: a versatile, expressive cymbal that retains its elegance when played softly and opens up tastefully when accented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCuSn20\u003c\/strong\u003e alloy, often associated with \"traditional bronze,\" is prized for its depth and complexity: it delivers a rich spectrum with present low mids, controlled brightness, and an overall more \"organic\" feel. Here, the advertised \u003cstrong\u003ewarm, dark, and balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e sound results in a cymbal that fills the space without becoming shrill, ideal for both mic'd and acoustic playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esoft and quick response\u003c\/strong\u003e provides real comfort: the cymbal reacts immediately to dynamics, with a smooth attack and controlled decay. In ride playing, the stick definition remains \u003cstrong\u003esharp and controlled\u003c\/strong\u003e, helping to keep the tempo clear within a band, even at moderate volume. As a crash, the \u003cstrong\u003ecrashable\u003c\/strong\u003e character favors round and musical accents, particularly effective on small stages where projection is sought without harshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eCuSn20 bronze (traditional bronze)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStick sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esharp and controlled, with an oriental-style tint\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ehandmade\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBehavior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ecrashable\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSwitzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContext\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eideal for small stages\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ewarm, dark, and balanced\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eversatile, particularly suited for nuanced playing and controlled dynamics\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:5;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResponse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esoft and quick\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eMasters (originally developed around rides, then expanded in 2014 with crashes and hi-hats)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Paiste","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54356772454675,"sku":"182047","price":519.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/9dc2f618c5e220a14760c0c48a3b96e33dc88c39_PAISTE_TWENTY_MASTER_DARK_RIDE.jpg?v=1789344790","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/paiste-twenty-masters-collection-dark-ride-20-182047","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
