Paiste Cymbals: A Drumeo Documentary 

I'm an official Paiste Artist since November 2018 and after seeing this documentary I am even more proud and honored to be a part of the Paiste Artist Family. The passion, detail and love that goes into every Cymbal, wow. Thank you Drumeo for the great effort you put into this.

Jared has the best drummer Job in the world

A very cool movie!! Congratulations...

As an Estonian, who also plays Paiste, it's unbelievably cool to see a kit in Estonian flag colours and still hear a small Estonian accent in the way Erik Paiste speaks English. Best cymbal company in the world inside and out!

I switched to Paiste in 1979 when I was THE only guy I knew who used them. I was 18 then, and I've never looked back. 38 cymbals and 40 years later, I still feel like a kid in a candy store when I see a bunch of Paistes. I'm more than proud to have been all Paiste all these years. Now if I could just get a handle on my cymbal addiction.......

I started playing Paiste Cymbals in 1984, starting with the 404 and 505 series. Later I played 2002‘s and some RUDE‘s. I eventually play the Line series. 35 years with PAISTE. What a journey it was. Thank you PAISTE for your wonderful craft.

When I watch these cymbal making videos, I can TOTALLY appreciate why they cost so much new! SO much work goes into them, and they are almost like fine art! Keep posting them!!!

I like the individuality that Paiste puts into their cymbals,it makes it feel that you yourself are unique to them.

Thank you for this fascinating insight into how these superb cymbals are crafted. What a class act Mr Paiste and his craftsmen are. I was born and grew up in Switzerland and Ian Paice was my favourite drummer. I bought Machine Head aged 10. He played Paiste cymbals, Smoke on the Water....definite Swiss theme to my story. I worked for 2 months in a department store in Geneva to pay for 3, 2002 Series cymbals. 40 years on I'm still playing them and they sound and look as good as the day I acquired them. In have just ordered the 2002 24" Big Black Beat crash ride as my retirement present. Truly a lifelong story with Paiste.

No, I'm not a drummer, but I've been playing guitar in bands for forty years and I can tell you I've always been happy when working with drummers who use Paiste cymbals because they just sound better for me and cut through a mix at just the right frequency. They also look darn wonderful! Great video! Interesting company history.

What astonishes me about this Drumeo series is how manual and how small scaled the process of cymbals and drums manufacturing is. It makes you appreciate it even more.

Love Paiste cymbals. Nice to see the success of Drumeo affording Jared these trips all over the world. The narrating tone reminds me of a crime documentary.

Zildjian, Sabian, Paiste, and a few of the Turkish companies all make great cymbals. They all have a certain sound, and they mix well with all music

Maaan, that Paiste kit sounded amazing, haha. Thanks for another incredible documentary. Great with some insight, no matter whether you play the company's cymbals or not. Loved it.

I visited this factory last year and it really blew my mind. I'm glad Jared is able to do this- they wouldn't let me take any pictures so now I can see it all again. :)

Great fun to watch,and now I can appreciate,as a 2002 user myself why these bad boys are so expensive Worth every penny 👍

Not only does this show me how each cymbal is a piece of art, but it makes sense why they arent cheap. They are unique and takes skill to make!

Probably the best documentary I've ever seen... thank you for taking us into that beautiful world!

I'm not even mad on Paiste Cymbals but by the end of this I was like a kid again! Super excited to get some new Cymbals put through their paces!

Jared, for the love of gawd, when you're working with small flying metal always wear safety glasses. Great way to become the Stevie Wonder of drumming.

I did an outside gig near a cow pasture once. During the soundcheck, they all came running up to the fence. lol

For me as a native German, I had to read the subtitles from the cymbal craftsman, because the Swiss dialect is almost a different language

Wonderful documentary. I visited the Paiste factory a week ago and your documentary really is spot on. You just show exactly how it is and feels to be there!

Can't wait to visit the Switzerland factory myself! Love the Paiste family!

You missed an opportunity! Paiste has always marketed themselves as having a consistent sound. There’s the scene with the master cymbal, and a whole bunch of new cymbals. Why would you not let us hear how all those cymbals compared to the master? It would be great to hear just exactly how close those new pies matched the sound of the original. Instead dialogue walks right over the sound of the cymbals, and we don’t actually hear how close they match.

This is my dream vacation! Really enjoyed this video, Paiste are so great. Ps I have an alternate caption for the cow bit: “Hello I’m Johnny Knoxville and this is the Matador Drum Solo”

Been a Zildjian guy for 35 years. Bought a Nicky Moon ride a few years ago other than that always Zildjian. I recently bought a used 22 masters dark and at first playing it I thought well that sounds like my Zildjians until I did a comparison. It had everything my Zildjian rides did not have. It was crazy all this time searching and I was just not willing to try other brands. I now have a 22 dark energy mark ll ride and holy mother these two rides could replace my other 9 Zildjians. Not to crap in Zildjian I have some beautiful rides and cymbals I could not live without but my goodness Paiste just has a presence to it that I have been searching to find for a long time. I am blown away by these two rides and cannot wait to explore more of them. 🥁🔥

This was better than the Zildjian factory which all seemed automated.

Just joined the Paiste family. Better late than never! Thank you Dan, Terry and George for making videos to show me how wonderful Paiste cymbals are!!! 🥁❤️🥁

Jared looks so goofy when he’s doing those silly bits, like a whole child. I feel like you’re a pretty funny guy in person

The look on your face Jared /tells All. Disneyland for drummer's . I love 💕 Paiste. Want a 22inch Signiture in Stewart Copeland. I once had a complete set of Signitures. I only have 1 Paiste Cymbal now.A 10inche Signiture. Love Formula 602s

Now that was FUN Jared! I'm so glad you had the opportunity to go. The folks there seemed really "Laid Back" and seemed to really love making a fantastic product. Paiste has (in my opinion) been the most consistently musical instruments in the drum world. Always a distinct pleasure to hear them played and recorded. Jared, you're a delightful and honest interview host. Thank you so much for this documentary! - Papa Watson

exited for this, big fan of PAISTE cymbals🤘🏻

This is the greatest sounding cymbal ever! .....KLUNK!!! So good!!!

I just love when you play outside, like you did in the Sonor documentary. It makes drumming sooo organic. ;-)

I just loved this video so much! I guess I've never saw someone so happy in my life

Sonor in South Germany, now Paiste in Switzerland. Great you guys appreciate our lovely Europe. ;-)

Great documentary! I'm living right on the other side of the lake, such a bummer that i've missed you guys. Really cool that you like Switzerland, you are always welcome back.

I grew up being a Zildjian player but have switched over to Paiste in the last decade. This video helped me officially decide to switch all of my current rotation over to Paiste now.

How did i miss this? Cannot wait to watch this

After a few vids, this dork is really growing on me.

This series is amazing and this dude has the greatest job!

i love paiste. i'm using them for about... 8-9 years. Nice one. today i have paiste 2002 ride 22" and 2002 18' crash. Love them very very much.

Your kit sounds amazing!

I went to the Paiste factory in March 1990, while in a trip through Europe. I'm from Rio, Brazil, but I was studying in Paris for a few months, and took a trip with a stop in Luzern. So, I went to meet a friend who lived near the Paiste factory. He had to work and couldn't come to the factory with me, so he told me to just follow a few more train stops and get off in Notwill. From the station I could see the factory up the hill. They didn't show me much, but still, it was an amazing experience!!

the most creative documentary I've ever watched in Life.

Nothing sounds like the silvery signature series. Dark crisp. mmmm....

Great video, I play the PAISTE Signatures, 2002s, Dark Energy set and the Whole formula 602 Modern Essentials Set . PAISTe cymbals sound and playing them is the best. Hey Jared, I really loved this great video of the PAISTe factory. Thank you for inspiring me to play and switch from Zildjian to PAISTE cymbals for the rest of my drumming life. That was cool seeing you playing the drums outside the factory and cymbals inside. How did the cymbal turn out that you made at the factory. That had to of been one incredible experience, The whole trip must have been a blast and experience you will never forget. Thank You again. Colin cave

Please do Sabian next

Paiste .Great!!! Forever!!!

Wo send done d‘schwiizer?😂

uau!!!que obra de arte esses caras estão fazendo com esses pratos da paiste! eu não sabia que era feito de um trabalho tão árduo como esse que estou vendo no vídeo!parabéns a equipe por todo empenho e esforço

Thank you for being the greatest cymbals ever made

This was a super fun and educational video! Outstanding job Jared, and thanks to Paiste for the glimpse inside your masterwork!

I am so thankfull to the Paiste Team...Part of my life in Drumming...from the beginning in 1979 till now...

I had the opportunity to tour the Paiste facility about 10 years ago. I unfortunately do not have video of my tour and it has been running through memory since. Thanks to Jared and Drumeo for giving me the experience of re-living a great day. Thank you to Paiste for allowing me the rare opportunity of the tour and the demonstration of what goes into the making of your very fine cymbals. It is a day I will never forget. Thank you to Renato Mueller, who was my awesome tour guide. Cheers from Canada, Danny

Love seeing great craftsmen still creating these works of art!

Another great story-tour from Jared and his crew from the awesome folks at PAISTe! Great sounding cymbals with a lot of dedicated workmanship indeed!

Thinking about it it's mental how many of my favourite drummers or drummers of my favourite bands play Paiste cymbals... Great documentary once again, very interesting to see how those cymbals are made and how they make sure that everyone gets a cymbals that sounds the same and has the same quality!

once again BRILLIANT Thank You

Great Documentary Jared 😃👍

I once did a cymbal/recording experiment. I used two condenser mics, very flat out to 20K. The mic placement made HUGE differences, but one thing shocked me; I hit it medium hard, on the edge, waited for the harmonics to die down, THEN I put the mic 2 inches away from it, in the center, underneath. When I played it back, I was SHOCKED at the low bass tone I heard! It was a Paiste, 20" crash/ride, and when I played it back the bass tone had to be about 30 HZ!

Superb Paiste documentary...... I am endorsed with Paiste, and I use the "Signature Series" which are some of the BEST sounding cymbals I have ever owned!.....Great job Drumeo/Jared...Thanks!

Is AMAZING! Perfect Cymbals, Im from Santa Cruz- Bolivia, Grettings💪👏

There are ...literally just a few cymbal manufacturers. They all do well... it is impressive how deep they all are. It makes sense that there are only a few.

We'd love to see you again in our beautiful country!

Really enjoying these videos. Great job Drumeo

Erich Wuest: Here is a craftsman who clearly loves what he does! 7:22

I think Paiste is the best cymbal I've ever played. I can spot them instantly in a recording. It might have been my favorite band of all time (Stone Temple Pilots) that got me hooked on that sound. Got the PST 7 box 2 weeks ago and they are phenomenal.

É legal assistir esse vídeo, conhecer esse lugar e pensar, "meus pratos vieram daí..." I love Paiste!!!!

You should find a way to add that cymbal into your kit on the channel. At least sporadically. Let it be an Easter egg👍🏼

thanks for this great documentary..

Watching Jared play drums at the end while high is amazing.😂🎉🎉🎉

I never knew how much I wanted a solid cast kick drum until now.

That's great. Paistes are awesome. First new cymbal I ever bought new was a Paiste actually.

Someday sooner than later I will own Paiste cymbals. Now I have Zidjian but the sound that made me fall in love with drums was a Paiste cymbal.

Finally completed my set of Paiste Rudes! Best cymbals I've ever owned-HEAVY METAL🤘🔥🤘🔥

Started with Sabian, moved up to Zildjian, then discovered Paiste 2002s. pure sonic bliss

This was a pleasure to watch from start to finish! Now I love using Paiste cymbals even more! Thank you for creating this awesome video!

Jarod you lucky dog. Did you ever think Drumeo would turn into this? Pretty cool.

In my opinion, paiste is one of the best cymbal companies out there. Meinl still has a better extra dry and dark cymbal line though.

Would have like to see the signature series being made

THANK YOU - the big thing I learned is how to pronounce PAISTE..... GREAT video. Impressed with the craftsmanship, I play guitar and respect to ALL musical makers artists, luthiers, craftsmen and women for sure - Now that is talent

23:05 that is one seriously concerned cymbal maker in the background..

Jared, love to hear you play. Drumeo member for life!!!

I got my first set of PAISTE cymbals 602 s and Giant Beat s in 1970 along with a special order LUDWIG 9 drum kit.Today I've a few more PAISTES... And they are THE GREATEST.

No wonder cymbals are so expensive! This is a hard work, and true art.

I cant only imagine the hard work and effort that went into this video. Thank you for doing it. Cheers!

I loved those paiste drums

This is just GREAT ! - Chip Barkhouse The Drummist

Jared, it´s really impressive how great you have improved your drumming over the years. Chapeau :-)

using the gong as a bass drum: Terry Bozzio: Been there, done that!

I Loved Paiste!!! 40 Years sands Great!!!

Never imagine that my Wild Rude China went through all of that just to be made for people play it, its truelly beautiful!

Genuinely a good watch. Been playing again for 2 years. Just upgraded my dustbin lids for Paiste Rock PST8s . I shall enjoy every beat a whole lot more knowing this is how they came about. Cheers Jared

Paiste cymbals are the best cymbals out there. No questions.

you live the dream man. you the man.

I ve loved to see this, thank you!

I really love Paiste. I think they have a personal sound instead of Zildjian Sabian and every Turkish types cymbals. It’s just preferences. Now I want to go to Paiste Factory and create my own cymbal even if it’ll be trash
