Whaaaaat???? Tony Williams played Paiste? SACRILEGE!!!

[slapstick]

some guys probably brought their own or maybe there was just a pile of cymbals backstage for everyone to choose from. Paiste brothers probably on hand pushing the new 2002s for guys to try out i'd imagine.

paiste top brass were very amenable in those days ( actually still are, but differently))........very open to partying generally. persuasive and friendly. no reason why tony williams wouldnt give them a go ---- a lot of great drummers stayed with paiste. and on the zyn front, dont forget also sam woodyard, and on maybe a slightly different front, robert wyatt in soft machine, chose them as their working cymbals, i'm sure amongst many others. a good , carefully selected super zyn ---as with ufip & zanchi --- really is a top notch cymbal, and at its time probably closer to an old k than anything else available. slightly low volume and buttery. dont be so defensive about your zildjians, and dont forget they originated in turkey ---- ( our side of the pond) .

Toomas was the party animal, he liked to party at all the big music conventions and I've heard stories of his notorious Christmas parties!
