On the way to optimal cymbal sound, a special Paiste Sound alloy made of patented bronze was developed for the Signature series. The result is instruments that have enjoyed growing recognition since their introduction in 1989 and have proven their worth in both studio and live use ever since. The sound has a high expressiveness and can be described as filigree, transparent, musical, sensitive and colourful.

The Mellow Crash of the Signature line offers a pretty, warm, solid crash with a full sound and short sustain. It can also be said to have a dry quality.
