The Sounds collection is a very interesting family of unique percussion instruments. Our concept for this collection is deliberately broad, allowing us to add innovative sounds without limitations. In creating these instruments, Paiste has utilized a wide variety of alloys in order to achieve the best possible sound realization.
Small round flat disks of CuSn8 bronze, these instruments produce a long, lively sound that is warm and bright with a tiny bell character. The sound is similar to Crotales but Sound Disks are not tuned to a definite pitch. Sound Disks are best heard when they are strung up and played with sticks or mallets.
