„I have been using Paiste cymbals since 2020. I love them all, but if I had to choose 3 favorites they were 1. Formula 602 Modern Essentials Ride 22" 2. Masters Extra Thin Crash 20" 3. Sound Creation Mellow Ride 20" - this is my oldest cymbal from the 80's. Actually it's my father's ride but we both use it. :D“
