13" Paiste Signature Power Hi-Hat – 1060g / 931g – 1998 – Discontinued Size
A powerful and articulate pair of 13" Paiste Signature Power Hi-Hats, produced in 1998, with weights of 1060g (top) and 931g (bottom).
These cymbals are in very good used condition, showing normal signs of use consistent with their age, with no cracks, keyholing, or structural issues.
This 13" size is discontinued, making these hi-hats a less common and highly desirable option for players looking for the classic Paiste Signature brilliance in a fast, cutting format.
Sound Characteristics
These hi-hats deliver a very bright, brilliant, and sharp tone with excellent clarity and projection. The sound has a fairly wide dynamic range with a clean, precise frequency mix, typical of the Paiste Signature series.
The open sound is sharp and focused, while the closed sound produces a bright, cutting “chick” that slices clearly through dense mixes. The smaller 13" diameter gives them a quick response and tight control, making them ideal for articulate, high-energy playing.
