Paiste proves that b8 is a great cymbal alloy. Other manufacturers just relegate it to the low end and don't put as much effort into it as the higher end cymbals. Massive difference between a Sabian B8x and a Paiste 2002
@Fucklesticks Жыл бұрын
Personal opinion here. I don't like the sound of Paiste b8 cymbals on their own (i own a few) But in the mix with rock music, an 18'' thin crash wether it is a 2002, PST7 or even PST5, they sound delicious.

We were doing film and television soundtracks at the time, not playing out as a band, and this guy who I had placed my trust and love in for sooooo many years, just up and f**ked me over! That was years ago, but this shit happens! Always keep an eye on the people who are in your orbit, supposedly "looking after your artistry, whether as a "Manager," a "Publicist," or as something called "a Lawyer." Be careful, composers!

@Perc1Plar 4 жыл бұрын
I'm really liking everything I hear on the Paiste 900 series, the stick definition and the high pitch of the bells and real crisp crashes. Probably not my very first choice as the most musical cymbals but they have a very good profile that I think will work well in rock settings and they come in 4 colorsound choices! I'd like to have them as an alternate set of sounds for certain situations. They are on the wish list.

Nice collection of cymbals. I recently purchased a Meinl Byzance 22" 'Vintage Pure Light Ride' which I like a lot and is now my 'go to' ride cymbal for most applications. I have a collection of cymbals most of which I acquired used, came along with used drum set purchases, or even found in garage sales (and would you believe I found a few good ones..like Zildjians..out by the road in people's trash!) I have purchased only a few of my collection new at full retail price the Meinl ride being one of them. Tried it out at local drum shop and just had to have it. By the way the finish on that Canopus kit very similar to the Ddrum 'SE Flyer' kit I bought two years ago..I bought the version in the natural ash outer ply finish. Great little kit.

After having owned more than 60 or so ride cymbals and countless crash cymbals, my favorite all-purpose-cymbals are a Dream bliss 22" crash-ride and a Istanbul Agop 20" Om crash Both come with a superb crashed sound and a nice bell. They sound great when taped up as dry jazz rides or when played with rivets. I use them for every style and play them in almost any of my live or studio setups.
@bandfromtheband9445 4 жыл бұрын
Once again, it's the Paiste and Meinl brands that blow me away. They both have these razor sharp overtones that I LOVE to hear. I tend to fall for sharp sounding cymbals and while the dryer cymbals can be so bloody PERFECT for recording, I'm thinking more about performing cymbals on a stage. Sabian and Zildjian might as well just join forces, they sound too similar to me, like "one and the same." The European cymbals are the ones I really like.
@uversa7 Жыл бұрын
Yes, as some of us know, Zildjian is made by one brother, and Sabian by the other. Their father taught them both, but one brother makes Zildjian, and the other Sabian. S, a, and b are the first letters in his children's names, thus Sabian!

It crashes beautifully, too. I favor it over my EAK 22”, Kerope 22”, vintage A 21” Rock ride, vintage A 20” crash ride, and Istanbul 21” Mel Lewis. That’s saying something.

The Zildjan was the only “all purpose” ride in my opinion. The Sabian and Paiste were rock/metal/funk rides. The Meinl and Istanbul were jazz/prog/folk rides. I personally liked the Meinl most. But the Z takes the “all purpose” prize.
@danlc95 3 жыл бұрын
I liked that first Paiste. My personal all purpose ride is their 20" Signature Dry Ride. I got it used in 2014, and it was made in 1991. I use it all the time. I can play jazz to metal with it, and can make it work. It has definition, I can "bob" it with the shank on the bow, and if you switch up the stick, new dynamic possibilities are available. It's kind of "semi-dark", and warm, but the dryness gives it some definition. For the jazz I'm using a Regal Tip 7A, and for louder music, Regal Tip Groovers. Between these two sticks I can get a lot out that one cymbal. The last jazz gig I played, the guitarist actually remarked on the attributes of that cymbal. For heavier music I usually go to the Paiste Dry Dark Ride.
@CrazyUncleDom 5 жыл бұрын
Ill take the Sabian Bell sound with the Zildjian Bow sound and the Istanbul edge for crashing lol Each definitely shined in its own area!

My Opinion : 1: Zildjian 23" Sweet Ride 2: Paiste 900 22" Ride 3: Sabian Brilliant 22" Medium Ride 4: Istanbul Atop Joey Waronker 24" Ride 5: Meinl Byzance 22" Spectrum Ride Keep in mind this is just for the cymbals in the video and not for the actual brands. (Meinl would have been higher.) Also, I personally thought all of the cymbals were really good.

The Paiste 900 was surprisingly good considering that it is a mid-range product. I would have used the 2002 20" Ride in this comparison. It is a really versatile cymbal. The Istanbul and the Meinl (although I never really fancied them for some weird reason) were the best. The Sabian was lifeless for me and the I felt that the Zildjian was missing a "sound profile". By the way...are you selling Bosphorus as well? They came out with the Philly Joe Jones ride. Others drum shops demoed it and it sounds great, but your videos are usually a lot better sounding than anyone else's.

To my ears, the Meinl rides tend to have a too much integrated sounding bell but many drummer love them obviously. I just kinda used to Zildjian and Sabian distinctively brighter bells even for their darker rides.

I too was surprised the 900 sounded so good. I think it was because it wasn't a colorsound and no paint. I have both the 20 & 22 inch 2002s and use the 20 the most.

Please explain what you mean by a "sound profile" with the Zildjian?

Paiste 900 💥 especially for rock. Clean sounding ping n bell.

My favourite of this bunch is the Istanbul Agop 24” Joey Waronker signature model. Least favourite for me was the Paiste 900 series.

Tom, I would love to see a comparison of rock/metal ride cymbals, with the huge bells! I know there are many on the market.

The AAX Medium was really impressive to be heard and really the most homogeneous. But Q/P ratio of semi-pro Paiste 900 is unbeatable

I've been playing Zildjian cymbals for over 55 years and my Sabian AAX Medium Brilliant is now my favorite ride. I've only owned a few Paiste's and didn't like any of them. By the way, the vintage Zildjian Avedis and the new A-Series have nothing in common, as far as I'm concerned. I own both. I won't say one is better than the other but comparing them is like apples-to-oranges.

@@boomerguy9935 agree, owned the classic Avedis for almost 30 years and I refused to change then with the new ones issued in 2013...they are another planet, period :-)
