From rock to metal, nothing cuts like Paiste Signature-series cymbals. The 14-inch Paiste Signature Power Hi-hat bottom is crafted in Switzerland from heavyweight Signature Bronze to give you the brilliance and projection to be heard from all the way in the back row. Signature Power Hi-hat cymbals have a naturally cutting attack that stands up well to stage use. Whether you're keeping time for your bandmates or propelling a groove with its splashy, overblown wash, the Paiste Signature Power Hi-hat bottom, as one half of your hi-hat pair, has the mettle to go the distance. Despite its raw aggression, we at Sweetwater commend the Power Hi-hat bottom for its balance and musicality. It's easy to lay back on this cymbal for more sensitivity styles of playing. You also get a clean attack and super-clean note separation with every stroke, which gives this cymbal the edge for technical players. Stage drummer? Get the projection and clarity you need with the 14-inch Paiste Signature Power Hi-hat bottom.

Handcrafted in Switzerland





Like all cymbals bearing the Paiste Signature script, the 14-inch Signature Power Hi-hat bottom 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 during an official Paiste demo ? and the ones you buy from Sweetwater ? are carefully tuned to sound as similar as possible.
