Paiste has developed several innovations to cymbal design and manufacture. Among these are: A Paiste Alpha China cymbal Discontinued 1989 Paiste 3000 22" Power Ride. The Flat Ride: A ride cymbal without a cup or bell. Originally designated as Space Sound in the Formula 602 line. Designed with Joe Morello. Introduced in the 1960s.
Since then, other manufactures followed the lead and implemented lines of high tin sheet metal alloy. Zildjian Project 391 series employed Paiste alloy explicitly, however many companies (Zildjian included) produce cymbals with B12 (Such as Zildjian ZHT, now S series) and B10 alloys. Meinl cymbals are well known for employing both alloys.

Paiste is the only company out of the “big four” (Paiste, Zildjian, Sabian and Meinl) that uses manual hammering to shape the curve or “bow” of the cymbal (Meinl used a computer controlled hammering machine to shape one line of their cymbals): Zildjian and Sabian use a 75 ton press to and STAMP their cymbals into shape. With the ...
Article currently reads Paiste is also known as being the only major cymbal company to use the B8 alloy for its high end lines; although Meinl has recently[when?] introduced a line of high-end cast B8 bronze cymbals as well. Umm, no. Paiste certainly pioneered using B8 (which they call 2002 alloy) for high end cymbals with their original 2002 ...
A stamp from a 1950s-era Bellotti Cymbal. Bellotti was a small Italian cymbal workshop that produced cymbals from the 1950s until the 1970s. [2]Because so few of these vintage cymbals exist on the market today (they are much less prevalent that some other vintage Italian contemporaries, such as Zanchi), Bellotti remains one of the more obscure names in cymbal manufacturers.
Paiste is the largest non-Asian manufacturer of gongs. This Swiss company of Estonian lineage makes gongs at their German factory.
