Paiste Sound Formula 90s vintage 16” Full crash in Excellent condition
Paiste’s description….
“With Sound Formula, Paiste not only sets the standard for progressive professional cymbal sound, but also creates a vehicle for our ongoing quest for original and unusual sounds.
We are currently exploring the trends towards increased interest for small sounds, exotic timbres and “traditional’ models with unusual harmonics.
Some examples of the innovative character of the Sound Formula series include small sounds (6″ Splash, 12″ Thin China).
And also exotic timbres (13″ Mega Cup Chime, 12″ Flanger Bell), and cymbals with unusual harmonics and functions (16″ Crystal Crash, 10″ Micro Hat).
Even if your main set doesn’t consist of Sound Formulas, this is the perfect cymbal line to draw from to complement your personal creativity.”

Featuring a brighter, more contemporary sound pallette, the Sound Formula series utilizes the same proprietary alloy as the flagship Signature models.
Paiste Sound Formula are one of the most loved cymbal series of the 90s, due to their amazing, bright sound and high quality, and were made from 90-96.
The metal these cymbals are made ended up being so costly that eventually the manufacturer began losing money due to the production costs.
Because of this they stopped producing Sound Formulas but continued making the Signature Series which had a higher price tag.
Sound Formula cymbals are becoming harder and harder to find.
