I have enrolled in the Paiste Signature ride program, but so far I've only collected one.
It's not that I wouldn't love to have the complete collection ($$$$), but the one that I have does just about everything that I need a ride cymbal to do.
I have a Paiste Signature 21" Dark Full Ride. As primarily a Classic Rock/Hard Rock drummer, this ride works great for what I like to play. At the time I bought mine (2006-07), Paiste offered the Signature 21" Full Ride in a "Dark" and regular version. After having the chance to try them both out, I really loved both the body and the bell of the Signature 21" Dark Full Ride.
Although the Signature 21" Dark Full Rides are now discontinued, here's the original sound clip that used to be on Paiste's own website: Paiste Signature 21" Dark Full Ride This gives a little taste of what they sound like.
Agreed.

Hah, I only like the weird ones. I tapped a few Full rides in Atlanta Pro Percussion 25 years ago, bought the Dark Full instead. It is a great rock cymbal, on the heavier side. Darker than an A Ping but in the ballpark and a bit more crashable.
Dark Full is a great rock/prog pinger...
Agreed.
