„The most surprising thing about Paiste cymbals is that even if you mix different series, sizes, weights, and so on, they have this rare ability to blend together seamlessly without any imbalance—from their 'budget' lines to their professional series. I love the Signatures and the 2002s, but lately, I've also incorporated the Big Beats into my setup, and they are truly stunning.“

Biography
Alessandro Vagnoni is a versatile Italian drummer, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer highly regarded in the local and international metal, progressive, and experimental scenes. He is the drummer for Voyage 35—a project celebrating early Porcupine Tree featuring former members John Wesley and Colin Edwin—and steps in for legendary King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto on tour with the progressive supergroup O.R.K. (also alongside Edwin). When not on the road, Vagnoni records, mixes, and produces out of his own Plaster Recording Studio in Porto San Giorgio, Italy, while continuing to release solo and experimental material under various monikers. His career has largely developed behind the drum kit for cult acts like the grind/noise duo Bologna Violenta, the french post-rock band Ulan Bator, melodic death metal veterans Dark Lunacy, death metal pioneers Infernal Poetry, the industrial-funk power trio The Breakbeast, and avant-garde/alternative projects such as Ronin and Dor. Alongside these core bands, Vagnoni is a highly sought-after live and studio session musician. His extensive resume includes collaborations with international acts like Austria's Demolition, Angry Nation, and Wolfheart & The Malavita Anti-Social Club, Iceland's Cult of Lilith, and Japan's Rakshasa, as well as prominent Italian extreme metal acts like Hierophant, The Shell Collector and Austrian Darkside.
