MusicRadar rating

4.5 of 5

Pros

Clarity, sparkling resonance and colour, the result of the patented Paiste Sound Alloy.

Cons

That same delicate transparency might be too much for some tastes.

Verdict

The Signatures were a major step forward in Paiste's development and they are standing up well in a crowded market. They have Paiste's hallmark brightness and crispness, but they have gravitas too, something that some earlier Paistes might have lacked. The cymbals still sound modern and each one is an instrument of distinction.
