ISO Paiste 2000 Sound Reflections 14'' China Type

I fell in love with that piece of metal thanks to Panzerballet substitute drummer, but I am not able to find it literaly anywhere.

Any hints please? I am based in EU, Czech republic

Anyone with experience with the 900 series? I'm considering upgrading from PST 7, PST 5. Thanks.

I have no experience with them but plan on checking them out in person this weekend, going to compare them to the Meinl custom classics dark. I want colored cymbals and these are the only 2 out there.

I have not used those yet, but, IMHO if you're going to upgrade, those would be a good choice. They are the replacement product for the Alpha series. Same alloy is used for these as is used for the 2oo2's. I've used 2oo2's for a while and am very happy.

Thanks. I was wondering when they were going to have a mid-range offering again since Alpha has been discontinued to the gen public.

Just got a 14" Paiste 2oo2 Sound Edge high hat. First impression? Why did I wait so long.

$ is making me wait. Congratulations.

Yeah...at $400 they were a bit pricey. Well worth it though.

I don't mind paying their craftsmen for their works of art.

I recently switched my entire cymbal set up to Paiste 900's. I was a die hard Ziidjian guy for years, used A & K Custom medium thins (which I broke a LOT, lol). Switched to Saluda, which I wouldn't recommend to anyone. IMO Saluda sounded like garbage and I tried several of their line. I figured I'd switch it up and try Paiste, went for the 900's. I've had them over a month and really love them. I also added an Alpha series crash that I picked up used (I believe the 900 series replaced the Alpha series).

Anyway, sorry for rambling...I recommend trying them.

I finally found a deal I was happy to pull the trigger on.

Now I have a reasonably decent set of backup cymbals.

Just picked up a cheeky Paiste Twenty Masters 22" Dark Ride. Very close in sound to my Zildjian K Custom Dark 22"

Darn that is a very nice cymbal. ��

It is indeed. I played it next to my Zildjian K Custom 22 Dark & they sounded very alike so, I couldn't justify keeping both. I have now sold the Paiste on

[Drumolator]

Ok, Paiste experts, I have a question.

At church I play a pair of Paiste Alpha 13" Medium Hats. I am the only drummer at our church, and I supplied all of the drums and the cymbals (and half of the PA). I am planning to swap out the Alpha hats with my Sabian XS20 14" Hats, which I have played in that room.

So here is my question, once I have the Alpha Hats, I will need some other Paistes. Before I was a Sabian guy, I was a Paiste guy. I have played several gigs with hats, a crash-ride, and a smaller crash. The store I shop at has some Paiste, so I should be able to obtain a 16" or 17" crash there. For my third Paiste, I want an 18" crash-ride. I went to the Paiste website and listened to the Giant Beat 18" Multi cymbal, and I liked what I heard.

Would that be the right cymbal for a small Paiste setup? Thanks. Peace and goodwill.

I want an 18" crash-ride. I went to the Paiste website and listened to the Giant Beat 18" Multi

The Giant Beat Multi's would sit beautifully into this situation I think. If 18" was the target then the GB 18 Multi is right up there with perfect cymbals for that situation.

Thanks a million! Peace and goodwill.

Just bought a 900 22 inch heavy ride.
Great sounding for a mid tier cymbal.
Wish they would make a flat ride in this series.DSC01055.jpg

[pgm554]

Those 90's are supposed to be 2002 bronze.
Reminds me of the Meinl pure alloy which are quite a bit more expensive (but are great sounding cymbals).

[PHROGGE]

Ok kidz "uncle grandpa phrogge" has a question...what about paiste pst8 cajon reflector cymbals ??? I have 12"pst8 hihats...
Im also considering white 900 series (cuz i cant choose just one color (altho you think green would be obvious.../altho i play by feel cuz of such limited sight...white would stand out on all my kits:my sonor martini champagne kit (love sizes & they stopped make 9 ply poplar shells (now only available in maple after 2017)ive got my black pearl rhythm traveller kit
(w/8"x20" bassdrum) & da "utility phrogge collection" (includes large variety of pizza box snare dums ) used w/ brushes!!!

Welcome to Drum Chat.

Nice collection.

[UnclePaul]

I've got many Paiste cymbals.
I've even got a Paiste 14" mounted tom.
my kit is mainly Paiste 3000, 3000 Ride, 2002 and signature. I've also created the Paiste Splash Array which consists of a splash from every series catalogued
and distributed including some prototypes and custom splashes.
If any of yall reading have any Paiste 3000 Rude cymbals, let me know, I'm on the search for a few remaining pieces.
