„I never hesitate to tell people that Paiste makes the best cymbals available. Whether I’m nerding out over their new cymbals with Dave Witte or talking to fans at shows, people immediately notice how good these cymbals sound. It’s a real pleasure to capture the nuance of them in studio as to also bash them at a live show and show off their full power.“
