The Sounds collection is a very interesting family of unique percussion instruments.

Our concept for this collec-

tion 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.
The collection includes traditional instruments, our own interpretations of those sounds, as well as our own
unique creations in sound and function in order to expand the instrumental repertoire of drummers and percus-
sionists. Some of Paistes percussive sounds are designed specifcally for traditional percussion scores, while
others offer interesting alternatives to instruments that are traditionally called for but are difficult to procure. Con-
temporary percussionists will fnd all of our percussive sounds interesting and valuable.
Many of our percussive sounds are easily integrated into a traditional drum set and offer unusual sound colors
for wider musical creativity.

Sound Disks
Small round fat 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
defnite pitch. Sound Disks are best heard when they are strung up and
played with sticks or mallets.

Sound Plates
Thick, rectangular plates of CuSn8 bronze, these instruments have a
strong, warm bell-like sound with a very long sustain. They can be played
with various mallets or sticks to produce a wide range of beautiful harmo-
nics. Sound Plates may be hung individually from our Multi-Sound Holder
or played as a set of four mounted on our Sound Plate Stand.

Tuned Percussion
Crotales
Crotales are offered individually or in 1, 2 or 2 octave sets tuned chro-
matically to 442Hz (other tunings are available by custom order). Paistes
tuning system insures these instruments with perfect pitch. We offer 1,
2 or 2 octave octave stands for these instruments. To facilitate playing
chromatically tuned sets, we have developed a damper system for all our
crotales set stands.
Crotales (C6-F8) are traditional Cymbal Antiques utilized by composers
since the 19th century. Made from CuSn20 bronze, they produce a clear,
pure, even traditional sound.
