Join Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden on his tour thru the Paiste Cymbal Production in Nottwil Switzerland. The video was recorded a while ago but as the hand production process has not changed it gives you a detailed review on how Paiste produces cymbals. This is how your 2002, RUDE, Giant Beat, Twenty, Signature & Traditionals cymbals are produced by hand from the start to the end. Enjoy the tour and have fun!

  • Machine hammered. Zildjians are computer hammered, while Sabian HH are hand hammered.

  • not exactly true. The machine does provide the brute strength, but the worker is controling the shaping of the cymbal and the strength of the hammer. After this step, the cymbals are all HAND HAMMERED. The other companies use quite a bit of automation for the formation of the discs. There is no automation in the making of Paiste professional cymbals.

  • i bet if zildjians were hand hammered they would sound so much better

  • Paiste is it for me. Been with them since 1990! I've got 88 of them now.

  • @PaisteChannel What is your opinion on Bosphorus Cymbals?

  • @uribemercado No such thing as BETTER once you enter a professional cymbal territory. There are only DIFFERENT cymbals.

  • @MMaatthhiieeuu yet paiste is still better than sabian, or all other brands

  • alright John how's the wife?

  • Every cymbal company is great for a reason. It's all in the drummer's sound preference. For me, I like a mix of bright and dark. I like my cymbals to blend with the music and not overpower it. And I'd even like a crash to have a little trashy sound blended in. But that's just my individual preference.

  • the guy controling the hammering on the cymbal makes it look easy

  • @PaisteChannel thats good to know, just one thing to know

    Can I call you guys or give you a email, so I could get my very own color coated cymbals?

    or do I have to be endorsered in order to get that?

  • great drummer... cant say the same about his singing lol
