Paiste

The majority of Paiste cymbals are produced using Paiste's traditional production process.
First the center of the cymbal is heated to soften the metal, then a bell is pressed into its middle. Some cymbals are sent through a high temperature oven in order to heat the entire disk. A hole is then punched through the center of the bell. The main production step involves the hammering of our cymbals by hand. To conserve the artisans' energy, Paiste utilize a pneumatic hammering device in the initial shaping of the cymbal. At this stage the hammer operator has the ability to control velocity, force and other important parameters. The final shape corrections are then done by hand using only a hammer and anvil.
The final - and arguably most important - step in production is to hand test each and every finished cymbal against the master instruments produced by Sound Development. If a cymbal does not conform to Paiste's exacting standards, it is then destroyed.
"Only instruments of perfect quality and consistent sound character will be shipped and sold to customers" - Paiste.
