[[Image:paiste2002hihat.jpg|thumb|200px|A Paiste 2002 Sound Edge hihat.]] Paiste is one of the world's largest manufacturers of cymbals. The correct way to pronouce Paiste is "pie-stee" (rhymes with fiesty). ==History== The first Paiste cymbals were produced in 1906 by Estonian musician Toomas Paiste in his instrument repair shop in St Petersburg, to customer orders. Toomas had served in the Czarist Guard, and retired in 1901 to open a music publishing business and music shop. The cymbal making aspect of the business expanded with the passing years, despite the disruption of several moves necessitated by war, firstly to Tallinn in Estonia in 1917, where Toomas' son Michael Paiste decided to concentrate on cymbal production and export. In 1940 the family and the cymbal making operation moved to Poland, where they continued under extremely difficult conditions, and in 1945 to Germany, and then in 1957 a new headquarters and production facility was established in Switzerland. The business was continued by Michael's sons Robert and Toomas, with both the Swiss and German operations as the main manufacturing centres. ==Cymbal Lines== ===Current series=== Paiste make a wide variety of cymbals in several cymbal alloys. These include: 101- These are sheet cymbals made with Paiste's Brass Alloy and are Paiste's lowest end cymbal line. They are manufactured entirely by computer. Introducted in 2005 201- These are sheet cymbals made with Paiste's Bronze Alloy and are a introduction level cymbals. They are manufactured entirely by computer. Introducted in 2005 PST 3- These are Brass Alloy cymbals and are one of Paiste's beginner level cymbals. Introducted in 2005 PST 5- These are cymbals made with Paiste's famed 2002 Bronze Alloy (CuSn8) Introducted in 2005 Alpha- These are cast cymbals made with Paiste's 2002 Bronze. They are intermediate cymbals. Introducted in 1991 Innovations- This is a professional level cymbal line made with the 2002 bronze. They are mechanically pre-shapped and hand hammered and lathed. Introducted in 2001 2002- The lengendary cymbal line from Paiste gets its name from the 2002 Bronze alloy it is crafted of. They are completely hand made. Introducted in 1971 RUDE- Cymbals designed for loud and aggresive playing. They have no lathing and a raw finish. Crafted entirely by hand from 2002 Bronze. Introduced in 1980 Giant Beat - Originally introduced in 1967, this series was reintroduced in 2005 as 18", 20", and 24" multi-purpose cymbals with 14" and 15" hi-hats. They share the same CuSn8 (B8) bronze as the 2002 series Traditionals- These are cymbals designed with lower sound levels in mind with lightweight designs. They are crafted from Paiste proprietary "Signature" Bronze and are entirely hand made. Introduced in 1996 Signature- These are cymbals created with Paiste's Signature Bronze and feature an array of different sounds and looks suitable for any playing style. Introduced in 1989 ===Historic lines=== Classic Paiste lines include: *302, 402, 502, predecessors of the current plus lines. *Giant Beat, the predecessor of the 2002 line. *2002 series, the classic cymbal played by Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham (including the Sound Edge hihat, as pictured) and many others of his era. This series used many of the traditional techniques of cymbal production, but with a malleable bronze of 8% tin rather than the traditional 20% tin bell bronze, and is regarded by many as the first fully professional series made from this alloy. *602 series, first released in 1959 and still regarded by many as the finest cymbals yet made by a major manufacturer, of bell bronze. Many examples of the 20" medium ride still exist, at the other extreme the paperthin crashes are rare and almost priceless, other models vary between these extremes. *2000 and 3000, professional series from the late 1970s. *400 series, advanced student cymbals from the 1970s. *505 series, student cymbals. *Sound Formula, a top of the line series and the first to use Paiste's patented ''Signature Alloy'', which was at first known as ''Sound Alloy'' or ''Sound Formula''. *Sound Creation, top of the line professional bell bronze cymbals that replaced the 602 series and preceded the Sound Formula series.
...also, 3 older lines, all made of the aforementioned nickel silver (also often called NickelBronze), which was the original alloy Paiste used in their earlier cymbals:
*Stanople, a mid-line series introduced in the 60's, discontinued in the 70's. *Ludwig Standard, a mid-line series from the 50's-70's produced for distribution by Ludwig Drums. *Stambul, their old top-of-the-line cymbals, produced from 1932 to 1965. In addition, many early Paiste cymbals were rebranded by drum manufacturers with their own brand name. ==Notable Artists== *John Bonham of Led Zeppelin *Eric Carr of KISS (band) *Don Henley of The Eagles *Dave Holland *Nick Mason of Pink Floyd *Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden (band) *Keith Moon of The Who *Carl Palmer *Phil Rudd of AC/DC *Scott Travis of Judas Priest *Meg White of The White Stripes ==External links== *[http://www.paiste.com Paiste home page] *[http://grassomusic.de/english/paiste.htm Paiste timeline], an independent account by a self-confessed [http://www.cymbalholic.com/ cymbalholic] Percussion instrument manufacturers
If I know my Estonian right, "e" is always pronounced as /e/ in Estonian, not as /i/ (like in the English "tee"). So "pies-teh" would be a better approximation of a pronunciation, though I still don't know if English words can end in a plain /e/ sound at all. User:JIP — JIP | User talk:JIP 11:03, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC) I believe you're correct -- this should be reflected in the article! Will make the change now. A representative from Paiste told me it was pronounced pie-stee (rhyhming with fiesty). Unfortunately, it appears they removed this from the website. User:Jm51 16:59, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
