„I’ve always preferred Paiste over all other for the the way they cut through a dense heavy drum sound. It’s the sound of the drum masters I grew up with and what I am beyond satisfied and proud to play myself. These beautiful handcrafted pieces of metal helps me deliver every beat, in everyones face, every night!“
