From such alloys the Twenty Series was introduced and made in 2007, combining Turkish ancient knowledge and Swiss precision with Paiste's time-honored methods, creating a symbiosis, or completely new blend of sound character. With exclusive manual craftsmanship, hand alloying, hand hammering, and hand lathing, Paiste stands behind their proprietary manufacturing methods.The Paiste Twenty Series cymbals included in this cymbal pack work well in medium soft to loud settings; live and recording settings; and pop, blues, soul, rock, jazz, big band, R&B, country, acoustic, percussive, classical, and Latin styles.
