The 21" Paiste Masters Extra Dry Ride Cymbal takes it to another level. It's overall sound is even drier and propels the stick sound further into the foreground. A much reduced yet even decay still exudes undiminished warmth and musicality. Extra Dry Rides thus incomparably combine a stimulating earthy character with immense precision and control. The Masters series is an exquisite collection of laboriously hand-crafted cymbals made of CuSn20 bronze to achieve superior sound ideals in various musical genres. Masters are made by hand from CuSn20 bronze using traditional methods that have remained unchanged in over half a century.
