„Paiste Cymbals have opened my ears to a new sonic space that is unlike any other. The tambour is perfect for the studio, live or even outdoors. These cymbals have made the mixing process effortless for the engineers and producers I work with, and for my personal studio, it's a matter of plugging and playing! They sound great every time.“
