Paiste cymbals

Phil Collins and Chester Thompson were known to have used Paiste cymbals (pronounced Pie-stee).

Phil Collins and Paiste
Phil Collins formerly endorsed Paiste cymbals during the 1970s and early 80s. From circa. 1970 to 1975 he was exclusively using Paiste cymbals, mostly Formula 602's and 2002's, liking their crystal clear sound.

Beginning in 1977, he migrated towards using Zildjian cymbals while also endorsing Paiste, and got to the point where he had deals with both companies. So Phil was approached by Paiste to choose one or the other, and Collins went with Zildjian as he tended to crack Paistes more.

But even after he no longer endorsed the company, he still used Paiste cymbals occasionally for studio work from his vast array of cymbals to choose from.
