Super metal drummer Joey Jordison of Slipknots' personal selection of Alpha models.

The Black Alpha Slipknot Edition cymbals from Paiste where developed in collaboration with super metal drummer Joey Jordison of Slipknot. This Core Set features 14" hi-hats, an 18" crash, and a 20" ride. They meet the needs of the hard-hitting drummers who seek fairly priced cymbals with lethal looks, energy, versatility, and professional characteristics.

Black Alpha Slipknot cymbals are coated using the original black ColorSound coating and then silk-screened with a rich gold Alpha logo, model designation and Slipknot logo. The "Slipknot Edition" is Joey's personal selection of Alpha models. The ColorSound technology adds a bit of bite to the initial attack, centers the overtones, and adds raw presence to the entire sound character of this dark and exotic looking cymbal.

From 1992 through 2006, Alpha cymbals delivered dependability and first-class sound at a fair price. Paiste has advanced these trusted qualities through a complete re-design of the series and presents these completely revamped Black Alphas.

These Paiste cymbals are manufactured using top-notch technologies, and then fine-tuned using traditional hand hammering. The combination of hi-tech and traditional methods creates great value for artists looking to conserve their investment in professional class instruments.

I recently purchased the whole setup and complety satisfied! First off they look amazing with my tama kit. They sound really well too. Not the best but for the money you should be satisfied. Joey doesn't play the alpha's he uses rude's but he picked a great line of cymbals to offer drummers a quality product that you can afford. Also the black does not come off like the zildjian pitch blacks. get yours now!!!

I got a this set a few months back and they are THE best!! The Hi-hats and Ride are *Top* quality. The crash takes a while to get used to but hit it hard and you'll love it. Buy them, you won't be disappointed
