The Sounds collection is a very interesting family of unique percussion instruments. Our concept for this collection is deliberately broad, allowing us to add innovative sounds without limitations. In creating these instruments, Paiste has utilized a wide variety of alloys in order to achieve the best possible sound realization.
Thick, rectangular plates of CuSn8 bronze, these instruments have a strong, warm bell-like sound with a very long sustain. They can be played with various mallets or sticks to produce a wide range of beautiful harmonics. Sound Plates may be hung individually from our Multi-Sound Holder or played as a set of four mounted on our Sound Plate Stand.
