Extremely valuable and impeccably produced comparison of multiple Paiste cymbal lines. We drummers are extremely spoiled to have such excellent information at our fingertips. I really appreciate the hard work that went into this video.

I've been a Zildjian guy since 1989. My 13in K/Z hats have been to hell & back with me. However my 13in Paiste Alpha hats had a special place in my heart. I've played all the series and how I came to love the PST5 14in hats I can't comprehend. Saying thank you doesn't do you guys Justice. The time, effort and care you took to make this comparison video is appreciated by all. BEST DRUMMERS CHANNEL IN EXISTENCE!

Best cymbal demo ever!! PAISTE got it figured out. I have the 2002 line, they are the most musical cymbal ever. I could be wrong I'm not a professional drummer just a truck driver. Outstanding video!! Thank you.

[aidenallen]

I just noticed that the panning changes from drummers perspective to cameras perspective depending on which camera we are viewing the kit from and I just got to say that’s a fun little touch

[newtondickson]

I'm not a drummer; I'm just a music-lover (and information junkie) at home under lockdown. This was very entertaining and informative! I had no idea the subject of cymbals was so complex. Great video - thank you for making and posting it!

[lucvincent]

Simply the best Paiste cymbals demo I ever heard and ever seen, best of the best 🙏🙏🙏

[brandonmclendon]

Wow, even at lower price range, Paiste sounds amazing and like something you hear in a professional studio.

[sojake]

One of the best if not the best
cymbal demonstration I've ever seen. So informative. Thank you very much for that.

[DrummerGrrrl]

I'm getting serious goosebumps listening to that freaking sweet Sonor kit. Lordy, lordy, lord...thanks, guys, today is my birthday and this video is a nice present.

[polarnatten]

I own a dozen Paiste cymbals from various series and Signature/Dark Energy are by far my favourites. Fantastic sound and they seem the most versatile to me. Thanks Drum Center of Portsmouth for excellent comparison video!

[kevinremsen]

I'm biased but the Signatures are glorious. In the end though, can you really go wrong with any of these? Best video to date by far. I can only imagine how long that must have taken but what a treat for the eyes and ears! Rock on, DCP! 🤘🏼

[Shore]

Not many YouTube channel cover the most important Cymbal companies like you guys did. Paiste is just different from other companies. The best way I can say is that there are cymbals and then there’s Paiste cymbals. You guys perfected showing that too. 🖤

[Non-TypicalDrummer]

Excellent video! I'm a pst7 guy, own 2 sets. 1 stays at home on my practice set. The other stays at church. Always wondered how the pst7 compared to the higher end cymbals. Now I know!

[willtodrum]

LETS NOT FORGET THE LATE GREAT RICKY LAWSON!!!! A huge Paiste artist who also helped define the sound of a vast array of artists!!! 🙏🏾

[pennred]

First time I’ve heard the signature lines played together to compare differences. This was extremely helpful, now the hard work of personally vetting them out starts.

[DiaryOfADrummer]

Wow!! Thank you, I am struggling to find Paiste's in our local shops because I have wanted to A/B. This has been so helpful.

[MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Signature Traditionals are my absolute favourites closely followed by the 602 MEs & Masters series. Amazing Cymbals

[DukeDamnChin]

hahahah the wuhan shirt on Bonham "NO!"
