Well, here are my new Paiste Twenties. They were on clearance at Guitar Center so they cost me roughly $200+ each. I became a Paiste guy ever since I decided to try out each cymbal in the store and I fell in love with Paiste. 20" ride and 14" hats

That ride looks absolutely stunning! Great deal, too. Congrats! Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz in Copper Sparkle Zildjian, Dream, and Wuhan cymbals

Very cool! Congratulations Added much later : And I think that's the best way to find cymbals that fit your kit ... that is : put your serious ears on and leave the bias at the door; and listen carefully to each cymbal, irrespective of brand favorites.

Yeah, I started to like Paiste a few years ago. Even the PST 5 sounds amazing and I still use one for a crash. I like the ride to as it's not too loud when I ride it on the edge. Meinls are cool, but I tried some at a gig, I think the dark or dry ones, maybe both, and they were horrible! The stick definition and sound wasn't to great. Luckily I brought my usual own (I always bring my own cymbals, snare, sticks, and kick pedal if there's a kit at a gig.) Zildjian will always have a place in my heart. But as far as sound goes, Paiste is really cool. I'm saving up for one of the swiss crashes. Those things sound really cool. Trash and crashy at the same time.

I like all kinds of cymbals. I use the DE's, some Zildjian K's old and new, Constantinople, I have a couple Dream Bliss that I like quite a bit. Not too worried about being a Zildjian guy. I just use whatever. Unless Paiste wants to start paying me or donating gear. The Dark Energy are the bomb

I love that ride! I'm so jealous, they don't run cheap on Mexico, last week I saw the 20" version of my signature full ride running for ~600usd Enjoy An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style. No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything.
