The 600mm scale length, 34mm shorter than a standard full-size acoustic, feels like a regular acoustic, just more comfortable. Mahogany and Sitka Spruce construction, coupled with an all-new bracing pattern lend the CSF1M a rich, full, inspiring tone. The passive Zero Impact pickup provides gig-ready flexibility with natural, dynamic plugged-in tone. The included semihard case makes transporting CSF1M a breeze.

Whether you play at home, on stage or on your travels, CSF1M gives you a new level of acoustic inspiration.

PAISTE MASTERS EXTRA THIN & DARK SPLASH

PSTX CAJON & CAJON HATS

MASTERS DRY RIDE & EXTRA DRY RIDE

Item Code

Masters Extra Thin & Dark Splash, plus the new 22" Dark Crash Ride

New Models

Physically and acoustically, the 18", 19" and 20" Extra Thins are characterized by particular subtlety. Inspired by iconic studio master Jim Keltner’s ideas for sound and function, Paiste’s Sound Development created a warm, soft crash that unobtrusively and discreetly embeds itself in soft musical situations. Moreover, the swift decay supports even delicate ride playing. The Extra Thins feel incomparably soft. Their sensitive response allows hand playing and wonderful crescendos with mallets. The 8" and 10" Dark Splashes exude a subtle whooshing effect sound with a round, even decay. They suitably complement eponymous Masters series models with their dark character, soft feel and quick response and otherwise work equally well for setups that call for light to moderate accents.

With the 22" Dark Crash Ride Paiste adds a larger alternative to the popular 20" model.

It features the same buttery feel, yet features an even deeper, darker wash that still allows the delicate stick sound to prevail with enough definition. The crash sound is rather forceful and mysterious, with complex layers.

Masters Dry Ride & Extra Dry Ride

New Models

The new models fulfil the desire of many drummers for ride cymbals with absolute control that preserve full musical sound and harmonic atmosphere. The 20", 21" and 22" Dry Rides are easily controlled cymbals with short harmonic decay that always stays articulated even with delicate, fast figures. The rapidly responsive stick sound is supported by a dry, dark, warm wash. The matted shimmer of the darkish surface suitably expresses the charismatic sound of these cymbals with a corresponding look. The 20", 21" and 22" Extra Dry Rides take it to another level: their overall sound is even drier and propels the stick sound further into the foreground. A much reduced yet even decay still exudes undiminished warmth and musicality.

Extra Dry Rides thus incomparably combine a stimulating earthy character with immense precision and control.

PSTX Cajon & Cajon Hats

New Models

With the new PSTX series Cajon cymbals, the Cajon transforms into a complete drum kit.

PSTX Cajon cymbals were developed to match the typical sound characteristics of the Cajon, and are well playable with hands, rods, brushes or light sticks. Due to a thin top, PSTX 12" Cajon Hats respond rapidly and accentuate each beat with a bright, dry sound and clear definition.

The heavy bottom cymbal yields a crisp, clear chick. This Hi-Hat not only satisfies the needs of Cajon players and percussionists, but also works for drummers as an auxiliary Hi-Hat. The PSTX 16" Cajon is a multifunctional cymbal that reveals its strengths particularly with accents, as it responds quickly with an explosive, somewhat dirty crash sound that fades swiftly.

PSTX 10"/8" and 12"/10" Splash Stacks and 20" Swiss Medium Crash

New Models

Small, sharp and nasty: the 10"/8" and 12"/10" Splash Stacks enrich the sound arsenal for drummers and percussionists with short, biting accents. Splash Stacks consist of brass tops and 2002 bronze bottoms. The tops feature the characteristic PSTX style hole pattern of varying diameters that cause the trashy sound character.

The 2" smaller bottom cymbals feature an inverted bell and the contact area between the two cymbals is minimal. Due to their dry, crisp sound, fast rhythmic patterns and fill-ins on Splash Stacks deliver definite elements of surprise. The 20" PSTX Swiss Medium Crash complements the PSTX series with an exotic trashy crash of medium weight for more volume and added attack.
