PAISTE cymbals thread

[nigelmind]

eh panu un kung wala k namn credit card?

[drumchile]

I wish there were more paiste avail here. Im a paiste user since 1983. 2002 and signature were my top choice. Beautiful cymbals.

[wipeout]

Wow!  That was some time ago, I started 1986.  My first cymbal is a zildjian quickbeat hihat.  After that I got a 16" Paiste 505 Crash then a 3000 reflector crash.  I was aiming for an all Paiste setup but due to its limited availability, I go back to Zildjian and sell my Paistes.  Since there are just a few Paiste users here, I'd like to know your setup. What are your Paiste models?  Do you still have them now?  I'd got a chance to have another paiste setup I think 2004 and had acquired a complete set one cymbal at a time.  All I can say is they have their own character far from the usual model and brands that are common here.  They have a beauty by its own.

I texted Mr. Carlo Morales a while ago. I was also asking if they have a stock of Paiste 2002 Thin Crash 18".
He replied and said na wala silang Paiste 2002 Thin Crash, they only have Paiste 2002 Regular Crash 18".
And here's their price, Php15,300.00

[barabbas]

grabehan noh? haha nabigla ako e.

Ako din nabigla sa price ng Paiste dito sa audiophile even though that i work here... Well wala kami magawa dahil mahal talaga ang mga paiste products... Dahil Euro ang currency supplier namin.. Sa Switzerland at Germany.... Kaya mahal talaga sya.... Mind you that's only 2002 pa lang. What if kung Signature series ang pinasok ko.. Lalo na mas mahal... Actually we have a signature cymbals dito 20" Dry Ride and 16" Power crash 14" hats.... Each is 20k plus ang price kaya until now hindi pa rin nabibili.. Mahal talaga... hehehehe But that's only the signature series... Hindi pa yan ang top nila... ang pinaka mataas nila is yung Traditional series yan ang grabe sa price... It's true marami talaga naka Zildjian dito dahil sa affordable talaga kahit papano dahil US Dollar ang currency... Paiste kasi hindi kami basta basta makapagpasok ng cymbals dahil sa mahal talaga sya. But kng sa tunog lang ang paguusapan Grabe naman tumunog ang Paiste cymbals... Maglalaway ka talaga sa sound and crispt... Maririnig nyo yan this coming saturday sa Clinic namin... Anyway yan lang maisheshare ko for now... Thanks and God bless....

[ren0wn15]

yes that's true sir carlo. you get what you paid for. 
nothing beats the shimmer of a paiste cymbal.

1980's Paiste 3000 Power Ride


Pre-signatures. 

[plep]

nasubukan ko yung mga twenty na gagamitin bukas sa clinic... hayup yung hats at yung ride. medyo stiff yung feel ng crash kaso responsive naman.

sayang di ako makakapunta.

[wipeout]

I also got a chance to play those twenty's in Audiophile Paco.  I was immediately caught by the hihats!    Crisp and clear and has some dark hissy tones.  The ride and the crashes are very nice too!

Sir, tanong ko lang ulit... Wala kasing sumagot ng tanong ko e, hehehe... OK din ba yung 201 series? nakakita kasi ako sa Audiophile, 4 piece box set for 16K, ok ba yung tunog? Balak ko din kasi mag Paiste or Meinl e...

[mr. trigger]

mag kano kaya ang 14" china ng paiste? na APx

[CDodrummer]

I got to try out twenty sound edge hats and signature sound edge hats at GC last year. They own. I'm aiming for an all paiste set up as well but I'm having trouble finding 14' sound edge signature hats

As for me bro, I haven't tried 201 series so I have no idea.  I think they are made of brass.  Better get bronze cymbals like B8, B20, etc.  But for a budget line cymbals in Paiste, I think PST5 are decent sounding cymbals.  They are already bronze cymbals, i.e. B8 alloy.

There is no Twenty series sound edge hihat but in signature series, there is.  If you go to the US, you can check out www.massmusic.net.  They have Paistes which are priced competitively.  I ordered my drum gear from them.  Actually Paistes are cheaper these days compared to Zildjian and Sabian in the US.

[ren0wn15]

I'm also aiming for an all Paiste set-up now. They have a very distinct sound. Recently I tried the Paiste Twenty series. Oh, I'm in deeeppp trouble.. 

[wipeout]

If you have some relatives in the US and your looking forward to have some paistes in you set up, now is the right time as they are much cheaper in the US.  Example: 13" Paiste twenty hihats $259  compared to $289 for a 13" Sabian AAX hihats.  Paiste is hand hammered, AAX is machine hammered.  I had tried the twenty series as well, oh my!    Hope to have that someday in my setup.

Thank you Sir wipeout... hindi pala bronze ang 201, hehe, 16K lang kasi e tapos 4 piece box set pa... many thanks po sa reply... keep on drumming...
