Paiste Masters Cymbals at Into Music Store UK

Paiste Masters Cymbals - The Pinnacle of Swiss Cymbal Craftsmanship

Into Music Store stocks the full Paiste Masters cymbal range - the highest level of cymbal making that Paiste produces. Handcrafted in Switzerland from premium CuSn8 bronze, every Masters cymbal is individually shaped, hammered, and finished to exacting standards - resulting in instruments with a complex, nuanced, and deeply musical tone that rewards sensitive playing at every dynamic level. These are professional cymbals built for the most demanding drummers in the world.

The Masters range divides into two distinct tonal voices: the standard Masters series for a warm, open, and musical character, and the Masters Dark sub-range for a darker, drier, and more controlled sound with shorter sustain and minimal wash. Not sure which is right for your playing style? Call us on 01507 526517 and our team of experienced drummers will be happy to help, or order online with UK next day delivery available.
