On the way to an optimal cymbal sound, a special Paiste sound alloy from patented bronze was developed for the Signature series. The results are instruments that have been gaining recognition since their introduction in 1989, and have proven themselves both in the studio and live. The sound has a high expressive power and can be described as filigree, transparent, musical, emotional and colourful.

The Power Crash is the heaviest crash in the Signature line and offers the strongest crash sound and the longest sustain. All in all, higher in pitch and well suited for noisy situations where projection is needed.

SABIAN AA cymbals are made of 80% copper and 20% tin. The process of manufacutring the cymbal starts by rolling the starting cymbal blank in up to 8 different directions, with the end result being a very high degree of flexibility. The bell and curvature are formed via a press and a shallow, round blank. Subsequently, the cymbal is mechanically hammered and turned by hand. This gives each cymbal its own individual sound qualities.
