Paiste welcomes Simon Dawson to the Paiste Artist Family

 

Nottwil/Switzerland – The world renowned Swiss cymbal maker Paiste is proud to welcome Simon Dawson to its Artist Endorsement Program.

 

Iron Maiden mastermind and bassist Steve Harris surprised music fans around the world recently by announcing his first ever solo album "British Lion." His new side project - as Harris calls it - features the talents of drummer Simon Dawson. Although "British Lion" is a departure from Steve's body of work with Iron Maiden, Simon's taste of sound is inspired by Nicko McBrain, and so is his cymbal selection, which mainly consists of Paiste Alpha Boomer models.

Simon’s cymbal set up is as follows: 18” Alpha Medium Swiss Crash, 14” Alpha Metal Edge Hats, 18” Alpha Boomer Crash, 19” Alpha Boomer Crash, 8” Alpha Thin Splash, 10” Alpha Thin Splash, 22” Alpha Boomer Ride, 14” Alpha Boomer Hats, 19” Alpha Boomer Crash, 18” Alpha Boomer Crash, 18” Alpha Boomer China.
