Detail 01
20-inch diameter
The default ride size. Enough body for wash when crashed, still tight enough for clear stick definition.

PaisteSignature Full Ride Cymbal 20"
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 20" bright, cutting ride from Paiste's Signature line. For drummers who need clear stick definition that holds up against loud guitars.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and pop gigs where the ride must cut through a loud stage
- Drummers who ride on the bow and want distinct stick articulation
- Studio work needing a clean, controlled ride with predictable decay
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting a dark, washy, trashy ride voice
- Low-volume rooms, churches, or unmiked acoustic sets
- Anyone shopping under $300 for a first ride cymbal
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
"Full" model designation
Paiste's Full ride sits fuller and more responsive than a heavy ping ride, so crashing on it works.
Detail 03
Signature series
Paiste's professional bronze line. Brighter and more focused than their darker traditional-style lines.
Detail 04
$646 price
Pro-tier pricing. You're paying for consistency and a specific voice, not for a starter cymbal.
Detail 05
Ride cymbal, not a crash
Built to be played repeatedly on the bow without building into an uncontrolled wash.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as a single cymbal. No stand, felts, sleeve, or bag included.
- 02Listen to one in person first — ride voice is the hardest thing to buy blind.
- 03Check your cymbal stand sleeve and felt for wear before mounting this.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 20 inches the right ride size for me?
For most players, yes. 20" is the standard. Go 22" for more wash and volume, 18"–19" for a tighter, faster response.
02Can I crash on this ride?
Yes. The Full ride is designed to open up when struck on the edge, so it doubles as a crash more comfortably than a heavy ping ride.
03Is this loud enough for rock?
Yes. This is a bright, projecting ride built to stay audible next to loud guitars and cymbals.
04Does it come with a stand?
No. This is the cymbal only. You'll need a cymbal stand plus a felt, sleeve, and wing nut.
