  1. Do any of you #musicians out there have stories about switching from one brand of gear to another and then regretting that decision? E.g., I recently bought some #Paiste cymbals only to realize that I prefer the #Zildjian cymbals I've played pretty much my whole life. Thank heavens I hadn't sold my Zildjians! 🥁 #musicproduction

  2. Situation:

    I've played #Zildjian cymbals for close to 40 years and only now got the nerve to puck up a set of #Paiste cymbals.

    I've been playing them.

    They're really cool.

    But this switch is a super (not musically) funky experience.

    Everything is way different.

    I'm thinking that if I were a guitarist it would be like moving from a trusty Strat or Tele to a Flying V or a Jackson?

    Does that make sense?

  5. #drummers of mastodon, what hats are you all playing these days? Anyone using 15s (or higher) after playing 14s for a while?

    Show us your hats!

    I have two sets up now, my main hats and favorite sounding ones are the Paiste Crunch hats. If you notice my particular non-standard config I’ll be impressed! My other set are Zildjian A New Beats configured as auxiliary hats in a fixed position on the other side of my kit.

  6. @utkanos those Signature Fulls are killer! I tend to go for more jazzy tones, so my crashes tend to the vintage hand hammering and partial lathing in medium thin weight. My faves are an #Agop Fusion 18, a #Paiste Dark Energy 20, and a #Cymbal & Gong Mersey Beat 20.
