It is the combination of these heavy cymbals and unique coating which should produce a wicked attack - nice.
Paiste was the first of the big cymbal manufacturer to colour its cymbals - its 'Colorsound' paint technology not only creates a stunning looking cymbal, but, according to Paiste, also enhances the sound - apparently adding further bite to the initial attack, while centering the overtones. On the upper surfaces, there is no reference to the Alpha series, but on the underside, printed in gold, is the smallest 'shine' Paiste logo and Alpha symbol. In contrast to the rich shiny black cymbal surface, silk-screened in white is a series of logos including 'PAISTE', model designation and size, along with nine Tribal Slipknot 'S's, each sized proportionally, according to cymbal diameter. With the exception of the hi-hat 'bottom' and each bell, all of the cymbals feature deep 'hammer' indentations (unique to the Black Alpha series), across the whole surface. Each of the cymbals are shaped by computer-controlled presses out of sheets of a CuSn8 alloy (aka 2002 Bronze - 92 percent copper, 8 percent tin) - first used by Paiste for their Stambul '65 series way back in 1965. The set contains a distinctive selection of medium to heavy weight cymbals comprising a 20" ride, 16" crash, 14" hi-hats and a 'free' 10" splash. "The set contains a distinctive selection of medium to heavy weight cymbals comprising a 20" ride, 16" crash, 14" hi-hats and a 'free' 10" splash" This Black Alpha set comes imaginatively packaged and printed to look like a much-gigged flight case, even down to a selection of stickers and strips of the pre-requisite gaffer tape.
