Alpha Cymbals were first launched by Paiste in 1992. Since then, the Alpha Series has been highly successful on an international scale. Today, the Alpha brand is synonymous with dependability, and the cymbals are well known for their first-class sound and fair prices. In 2006, Paiste presents a completely revamped Alpha, which advances these trusted qualities and takes Alpha cymbals to a new level.
