This series features all of the same characteristics we�ve come to know and love about the signature series. It has a bright, strong presence and brilliant overall musicality. What separates this from the rest of the Signature line is it�s clean, focused sound as well as it�s straight forward articulate. The Signature Precision series features the same finish as the traditional signature cymbals. Fans of the original Signatures can definitely look forward to getting their hands on these cymbals as they make for a nice alternative for when you want something little more focused and defined. The Signature 'Precision' series was also created to give you a cymbal that was as musical as it was affordable. Paiste specifically researched and re-designed their manufacturing process to make this possible. This is an extremely versatile ride. The bow has a smooth, buttery feel that seems to give you something back. This makes it easy to just sit there and play for hours on end. This cymbal also has a strong, piercing bell that is sure to cut through anything. What really struck us about this ride is it�s crashing capabilities. For those of us who like to crash on our rides, thing cymbal is a god�s send. It�s got a rich, full-bodied sound with a shimmering wash and warm over fundamental that just can�t be beat!
