„I've never been good with words, just give me a pair of sticks and I'll show you what I'm talking about! But if I had to say something about Paiste is this: These cymbals can project to the listener whatever emotion I have inside me at that particular moment in the best possible way - that is absolutley rare! “

Biography

The Very Early Years When Eden’s mother was pregnant with him, his father would take a speaker and hold it against her belly while playing Johannes Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2. Eden is pretty sure this is where his love for music, specifically classical music, began. From the very first moment, he was able to wrap his hand around a drumstick, at about age two, there would be no letting go of it. The Early Years At eight, he was already performing publicly. At nine, Eden performed in front of an audience of 32,000, at Israel’s sixteenth Maccabiah Games. When he was fourteen he went on tour for the first time. Soon after, he was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to perform around the world, learning from one of the most talented and renowned musicians in Israel, Yaron Bahar, who happens to also be his father. In the army, Eden served in the Israel Defense Forces orchestra for two years. Following his service, Eden’s professional career took him across continents, performing a variety of musical genres and meeting remarkable musicians along the way.
