Delve Into The Mystical With A Paiste Signature 22" Dry Heavy Ride - Monad

The Paiste Monad 22" Dry Heavy Ride was created in collaboration with the eclectic Danny Carey, uniquely known for his infusion of geometry, science and metaphysics into the art of drumming. The resulting playing style, which makes extensive use of polyrhythmic figures, odd meters and complex time signatures, is a characteristic feature of the sound of the Grammy Award winning cult band Tool.

The newly developed model is based on the traditional Signature Dry Heavy Ride, which has been Danny’s main Ride cymbal since the 1990s. In this reincarnation, the model is coated in translucent purple, using Paiste’s proprietary ColorSound process, and features a lathed bell, using the unique Reflector finish.

The Monad 22" Dry Heavy Ride is a decidedly heavy cymbal capable of strong and cutting ride playing at elevated volume levels. It features a pronounced, articulate ping over a controlled, dark, deep and complex wash.The strong, full, yet very musical bell is well separated.

As a tribute to Danny’s inspiration, the label Monad and three metaphysical symbols, being Danny’s personal choices in keeping with his esoteric interests, have been placed on the cymbal.

The Monad is bright.  The metallic and full tone yields a wide range and clean mix. It has a heavy feel with a pronounced ping.  There is a controlled dark complex wash that remains underneath. This is perfect for articulate playing at very strong volumes.  Danny describes the cymbals as both beautiful and harmonic.
