/chris cawthray endorses:
PAISTE cymbals, sounds and gongs (since 3/2001)
chris' artist page @ paiste.com
Chris' setup is in constant change, as it depends on the music, the artist or producer, the acoustics of the venue, etc.
He uses cymbals from almost all of Paiste's lines, preferring Alphas and Innovations for live pop/r&b/rock work, and Dimensions/2002s, Traditionals and Twentys for jazz, improv, acoustic work, and recording.
