Paiste New Signature Ride Dark Energy MK I 22"

A controlled, professional sound with dark warmth and subtle brilliance

The Paiste New Signature Ride 22" Dark Energy MK I impresses with its versatility and dark fundamental tone. It fascinatingly combines dark timbres with radiant brilliance and a lively, controllable playing feel. Its complex tonal character offers a broad sonic palette – from a silvery, woody ‘ping’ to a crisp ‘wash’ that never becomes overpowering but always remains musical. The Mark I design is characterised by a slightly drier, darker fundamental character. The bell and the ‘ping’ in particular come across as more subtle and nuanced than on other models in the series, which makes this ride exceptionally versatile. Whether in the studio, on stage or in demanding jazz, fusion or pop productions – the Dark Energy Ride adapts effortlessly to different styles whilst always offering the utmost in control and expressiveness.
