Paiste Alpha Metal Ride Cymbal
Very few cymbals can be heard like the Paiste Alpha Metal Ride Cymbal. It’s got a huge sounding bell and a great, focused sound that is very meaty. You won’t have any issue hearing this loud ride! It does have a somewhat narrow range, though, and it’s so loud that it’s not quite ride for jazz or any type of music that requires a soft touch. The heavy feel of the Paiste Alpha Metal combines with a glassy ping and a very aggressive wash to create a cymbal that sounds like no other. What we Found
You’ll need a good stand to mount this ride cymbal on since it’s fairly heavy. It has a nice, long sustain, a piercing stick sound, and can produce a very loud sound.
Conclusion
First released in 1992, the Paiste Alpha Metal line of cymbals was revamped in 2006. However, while the techniques of creating these cymbals were changed to include both machine and traditional hand-hammering, Paiste refused to charge more than the standard price. This is just one way that Paiste has worked to not only provide drummers with great cymbals but also make certain that as many drummers as possible can afford them. If you need a ride that can be heard but doesn’t break the bank, go for a Paiste Alpha Metal. You won’t be sorry.
