22" Paiste Sound Creation Dark Ride 3166 grams from 1978
Serial numbers: # 822895 from 1978, first official production year of Sound Creation series
Condition : Excellent, no issues, logos well visible
The Paiste Sound Creation Collection has been developed for drummers who attach great importance to extraordinary sounds.
Heavy hammering on this one but at a lighter weight than most, the cymbal produces a dark, warm, and balanced tone with smooth, glassy qualities
That is why there is another concept behind Sound Creation: There is no general sound character of the line, as it is a collection of absolutely individual sounds.
Sound color, type and overall feeling of every Sound Creation cymbal is defined by its name.
The sound of the cymbal was influenced by jazz drummers like Tony Williams and Elvin Jones, and it became an essential part of Al Foster’s iconic sound, according to Cymbal Wiki https://www.cymbal.wiki/wiki/Paiste_Formula_602_22%22_Dark_Ride
