Paiste Drums
Paiste drums: Born in 1998 from an idea shared between Jeff Ocheltree and Erik Paiste.
Spirit of 2002
The concept of this series was to recycle cracked and in other ways broken 2002 cymbals (Bronze B8 alloy) to make snare drums, timbales and drum sets.
The drums were cast at Duluth Brass Manufacturing in Duluth, Minnesota, USA. The 2002 cymbals created problems in the casting process, with about a 75% failure rate. To fix this problem, CA 907 (equivalent to about 90% copper / 10% tin) ingots were used for the shells, with a small amount of 2002 cymbals added into the formula.
The primary user of these drums was Carl Palmer.
S-Bronze
In addition, with the Initiative of Ed Clift and Danny Carey, Paiste created more snare drums and a drum set dedicated to Danny made from their PSA (Signature) alloy.
