Paiste 20" 101 Ride

I am a real Paiste fan, they look great and sound amazing, this cymbal was my very first ride cymbal and I loved it. I have been beating the crap out of this thing and it never broke or dented! you only notice that its a bit cheaper because its pretty thick. I now use a pst 7 ride that came with the pst 7 pack, this ride sounds better and is thinner. so if your a beginner i would absolutely recommend this ride, if you want a more pro sound I would invest in some more exspensive cymbals. by example the pst 7 series.

Its great for playing grooves, crashing it and it can imitate small gong sound while crashing. This cymbal Is great for starting drummers.I'll recommend it for drummers that need a new ride. It sounds really nice and its great for lots of situations. Great for gigs and small venues.
Its biggest con is sound that is alright, but still on its price I would highly recommend it to everyone.

The sound & clarity of the ride is something I've been looking for for a while now, I decided to try this one & so far I have had no issues with it

Purchased this to add to my Pearl Roadshow kit and it comes with great value for the money. It sounds fairly dark, but it depends on how you hit it, and the sound is full and focused. It has a wide variety of tones given the surface so it suits all music styles just fine. I've been using it for months and it seems pretty solid and should last for at least a year. The are arguably better rides out there, but for this price range, Paiste is hard to beat. I'm actually considering a full set to replace the not-so-great stock hi-hat and crash I'm still using.

Bought this for my drumkit which had a crash and splash cymbals but I needed something to ride out on during solos ect and to add more presence to my sound...this cymbal however is that bit heavy and thick and very bellish sounding and took me a while to get used to, but it does the job, can be heard a mile away but if used right can be a great assest to anyones kit!

The Paiste 20” 101 Ride is a solid entry-level cymbal, ideal for beginners or practice kits. It delivers a bright, focused sound with a clear ping that cuts through, though the wash can feel a little washy and less controlled compared to higher-end rides. Its brass construction makes it affordable and durable, but also limits the depth and warmth of tone. Overall, it’s a reliable budget-friendly ride for new drummers, rehearsal spaces, or anyone needing a no-frills cymbal that gets the job done.

It's a big name cymbal brand for cheap quality. Really resonsant and a bright thick sound too. I got it with the Mapex Tornado kit bundle which it sounds great with. Definitely recommend it!

Balanced overall with good overtones, for both rock and jazz styles.

A great ride to complement my drumkit.

it's good for the money it costs
