„“Paiste represents the highest level of quality, craftsmanship and versatility on the cymbal market today. Their product lines are incredibly diverse and cover every musical need I have as a session player in New York. Traditional, modern, thick, thin, warm, dark, bright, cutting, rude, mellow, savory or sweet. These cymbals are like an opulent buffet of ear candy, and I just want to eat it all.“
