A fusion of the characteristics of Signature and Traditionals, Dark Energy cymbals combine depth, darkness, total musicality and complex harmonics with brilliance, richness and projection. With the Mark I and Mark II variations, Paiste is able to define subtle sonic differences, giving themselves another release from commonality and thus freedom to explore cymbal sounds wherever it may lead them. Dark body, full frequency spectrum, brilliant highs.

Very wide range, complex, pleasing musical mix. Immediate, sensitive response, strong attack, controllable spread, even, layered fade. This crash combines silky, soft qualities with energy and projection for an incredibly versatile application range.

Also extremely well suited as suspended cymbals and for mallet rolls. Stick sound is silvery and washy.
