The Masters Series by Paiste 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 joined 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. These Masters Hi-Hats offer a dark, textured tone with a complex, musical mix and a medium range. The rich, dark "chick" sound is perfectly suited for use in jazz, country or blues.
