„I’m both honored and proud to be part of the incredible Paiste Artist Family, alongside so many of my drumming heroes. The consistency, the look, and the way they blend together are truly outstanding. I love the tonal range, the frequencies, and especially the feel of my new thin cymbals – they’re both inspiring and a joy to play!“
