PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Paiste is proud to team up with the world renowned drummer Joey Jordison of the metal band Slipknot to create Black Alpha Rock China Cymbals. Black Alpha Series features the proprietary ColorSound coating invented and pioneered by Paiste over two decades ago. The Paiste Black Alpha line features the Slipknot Edition, which consists of Joey's personal selection of Alpha models that features the core look and sound of Joey's 2008/2009 touring set.
Alpha Cymbals have been well known for their first-class sound and fair prices since 1992, and feature professional character that fulfills high demands in quality and function. ColorSound is a proprietary coating for cymbals invented and pioneered by Paiste in the 1980s, which optimizes the effect of a coating on cymbal sound and is extremely durable. The Colorsound Coating adds bite to the attack, focuses the overtones and adds raw presence to the overall sound character.
