The Signature Thin China blends the glassiness and purity of Paiste’s class-leading Signature series with orchestral darkness and a little bit of that traditional garbage-can-lid bite. The Signature Thin China is handcrafted in Switzerland from Paiste’s own signature bronze alloy. Its trashy attack cuts with razor focus and blooms into a tonally complex wash. And like every Signature cymbal Sweetwater carries, the Thin China is supremely consistent from cymbal to cymbal ? so whether you’re looking to capture the sound of your favorite artist or investing in a stereo pair for each side of your kit, the Paiste Signature Thin China is just what the doctor ordered.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Handcrafted in Switzerland





Like all cymbals fortunate enough to bear the Signature script logo, the Thin China is handcrafted in Switzerland from Paiste’s proprietary signature bronze alloy. Signature cymbals sound full and bright with a strong presence and projection. They have a crisp, focused character and articulately respond to stick attacks. Above all, Paiste Signature series cymbals are eminently musical, and they’re made to complement the most demanding stage and studio applications.





Perfectly consistent from cymbal to cymbal





Just as the International Bureau of Weights and Measures has the official kilogram under lock and key, Paiste has a master of every Signature series cymbal ? every crash, ride, hi-hat, splash, and china ? against which to compare all like cymbals. This means the cymbals you hear in an official Paiste demo and the ones you buy from Sweetwater are carefully tuned to sound as similar as possible.
