Noiseworks Triple Raw Smash Cymbal Set 12"/14"/14"

The Triple Raw Smash Cymbals have a soft, giving feel and are very responsive. Their sound character offers a narrow range and a compact, layered mix. Depending on the amount of tightening, the cymbal combination provides everything from a dark, wet, shattering crash function, to a woody, dry, strange, ride like function (middle cymbal), to a papery, dark, gated short hi-hat like function. These Paiste cymbals deliver extremely versatile effects due to their professional quality craftsmanship.



Background

In 2002, Paiste set out with the intention to create Hi-Hats and Cymbal Stack Combos for modern electronic musical applications such as Dance, House and Drum & Bass - Emulate sampled and electronically processed cymbal sounds in a natural drum set environment. The Triple Raw Smash cymbals embody innovation in that their sound is an interesting alternative crash, ride, hi-hat and x-hat functions for most modern musical settings. These Noiseworks cymbals can be used individually too. They're great for working musicians, enthusiasts, specialists, drummers and percussionists who love to experiment with noise!
