PAISTE CYMBALS - Steve Jordan (Interview)

[@BrentonStirm]

I'm a simple man, I see a Steve Jordan video and immediately watch and hit like

[@gwcjr2102]

When Mr Jordan speaks on drums I listen!!! One of my favorite drummers!!!

[@MrNickDrummer]

This guy is HIGHLY talented, I totally dig his style. And as always, Paistes for the win!

[@JC-sj2pd]

I’m glad he gave a shout out to the giant beats. I think they are underrated. I get comments about how great they sound. Vintage yet they speak clearly

[@spangalang]

They're soooo good but they don't cut too well in louder music. I broke a 17" crash only about 3 months into using it (6 nights a week though) :-(

[@adderon]

John Bonham mostly recorded and played live with a Giant Beat ride until the Presence album when it was all 2002's

[@BeatDigger]

Have a 24" giant beat. Love it 🔥❤️

[@dmark2639]

I LOVED the ride cymbal Steve used on John Mayer's "Waiting For The World To Change". So jazzy sounding when it came out...like nothing else on pop radio at the time. Had to listen to it over and over just for that ride! I think it was a 22" Traditional light ride...

[@jazzdrummerworld]

Love it. Steve Jordan what a Drummer. And Paiste Cymbals are just fantastic!!

[@aakkoin]

Great! "Simplicity is not stupidity" he said in another video, that stuck with me.

[@vincenzoa2929]

Steve is not only one of my favorite drummers but he’s also such a vast wealth of drumming knowledge and history. I always have to watch a video with Steve in it. Such an inspiration.

[@brianjezuit4085]

In my opinion, he plays the Eric Clapton catalog better than anyone else... even Gadd. Again, just my opinion. I really like the force that he plays with. Not only with Clapton, but everyone else he plays with. 😆☕🥁🥁🥁🌌

[@Moyetniishiswa2000]

Yes I love his work with Clapton. I was a fan of Steve Ferone as well. Not a fan of Steve Gadd I’m afraid.

[@brianjezuit4085]

@@Moyetniishiswa2000 Yeah, Jordan iZ an amazing drummer 😃 I actually do love Gadd, too. But I'm not a fan of Ferrone... he darn near ruined Duran DuranZ sound, in my opinion. ☕🥁🥁🥁

[@wolfjr1717]

Steve can do it all. I hear so many influences in his playing. From Stubblefield to Blakey to Philly Joe to Watts. I would love to also hear him on a full set of vintage 602s and some old K’s. He 😅would make that gear sing. With all the pitches he can throw, that B15 alloy on the signature traditionals makes a lot of sense for him. I get why he’s where he is at in the Paiste lineup.

[@TheRollingStoness]

Steve is the newest stone, welcome to the rolling stones

[@mikestevens5512]

What an amazing drummer!!

[@ajbambino]

Steve Jordan.....Paiste..... enough said!

[@dancrowe8274]

John Bonham turned me onto the sound edge cymbals in 1978

[@ojadermendes]

The greatest

[@mysticalgerald]

I dream to become a Paiste family member too.

[@heatherdaydream]

I love Steve's drumming and I'd looove a pair of his hats. Is Paiste making them for retail nor do I have to keep haunting drum shops for 17" crashes ?

[@markusjann-franke1493]

It’s a 17“ dark energy as bottom with a 17“ traditional thin crash on top. Both are still made

[@meganfloresta1124]

Steve Jordan is one Cool Kat!

[@jhardycarroll]

I'm not a huge Paiste fan except for the Traditional and some of the 602s. Lately I have been sending Bosphorus and Istanbul cymbals to Reverie drums to have Timothy Roberts tune them up for me. They are the greatest, especially the hi-hats.

[@mrjehupitchfork]

I am 1 millionth the drummer that Steve is but at least we use the same cymbals, so I have that going for me, if nothing else.

[@mikevisserdrums]

Legend in playing and sound 👌

[@rodrigoaquinoofficial]

The legend!

[@decryptmars]

This dude is 65. The epitome of black don't crack good lord.

[@ericwilhelm2941]

Masters 24" Thin ,Huh ?! wow......love the Masters , i found a couple great 22" Masters dark one of them is a Crash -Ride. Back in the mid 70's my first REAL Cymbals were 2002 14" Sound Edge and a medium 20" Ride AMAZING products they make with consistent Top Quality

[@brianlaughlin8974]

How about a set 24" hi-hats? Call them the Gargantuan Beats.

[@jackkovar7806]

Best moment 4:51

[@stuartwade-drummer7789]

Any drummer can play what Steve Jordan plays, but they can't match his groove. Excellent drummer.

[@bafattvahetere]

Truth spoken here.

[@musiqsoundsproductions]

Try the hihat foot pattern on Little While - Live.

[@jamesp296]

great interview! can you make one with zach hill since hes an endorsee now?

[@micheleabruzzese9592]

❤️❤️❤️❤️😎

[@Officialshayne]

Perfect fit for The Stones, selected by Mr. Watts himself!

[@andreasjonsson8075]

Jordan has a unique way on the drums

[@matthewpaluch777]

😎👍💗🇨🇭🔥🎼🔊)) PAISTE!!!

[@matthewpaluch777]

Hope your havin' fun with da Stones!

[@jcBurton2094]

Listen to Landing on Water by Neil Young

[@lorenzmuller3542]

1:52 is how you groove.

[@Jerkyhammerstopwatch]

Does anyone know what kind of Kick Drum he's using?

[@livingunderarockunderarock9963]

It appears to be a Yamaha maple custom with wood hoops and he’s also using a Yamaha sub kick Steve has been a Yamaha endorsee for a pretty long time

[@musiqsoundsproductions]

That is the Yamaha Daxdad with Vintage Hoops. 12'' in diameter and 22''! in length.

[@PeterWilborn67]

Love! What Masters 24 is that??!!!

[@ringoskywalker]

Masters Thin - fantastic Cymbal

[@PeterWilborn67]

@@ringoskywalker I had a 22” Masters Thin and it too thin to maintain stick definition. He seems much more all-purpose.

[@ringoskywalker]

@@PeterWilborn67 The 24" Thin maintains stick definition much better than the 22". I enjoyed playing the 22" for lower volume gigs, but it washes out fast. The 24" is different. The first time I dropped my stick on it, I was sold. It also crashes very, very nice. I use it as a crash and/or as a ride.

[@PeterWilborn67]

@@ringoskywalker thank you. That is very helpful to hear about the differences between 22 and 24. I will give one a try!

[@PeterWilborn67]

@@ringoskywalker hey, have you tried the Masters Swish? It also seems gorgeous but I am concerned it is too thin like the 22.

[@The1973Drummer]

Is that why Buddy Rich once used a Paiste ride?

[@robertstrobel7237]

24 inch ride and 17 inch HiHats beautiful.

[@afxmnstr]

$800 dollar ass high hats.... they sound pretty good tho

[@policeluber6720]

Sounds like zildjian

[@micahleighwoodthomas]

If he could just figure out his zip up

[@policeluber6720]

I have 22 inch hi hats

[@bafattvahetere]

No, you don't.

[@jimcrowell7368]

Today I watched 3 of your videos. I am embarassed for you. Do you need money so badly that you have to shill for these companies? Do you need money that badly? People want to see you play not slum for these corporations. I saw you play with Keith's band so I am not trying to throw you under the bus. But you're better than this.

[@Moyetniishiswa2000]

Looks like Wesley Snipes broke out of jail..

[@jonsmith848]

That's all u can come up with? STEVE JORDAN is a zen master if traps...

[@davidharding200]

@@jonsmith848 I have to be honest I don’t know what I was thinking there with that comment. Must have been a late night or early morning some 8 months ago. I didn’t even know Wesley Snipes was in jail? Nevertheless...t it’s not indicative of my love for Steve Jordan. I am a big, big fan. He is phenomenal. The zen master as you say. I chase down every video on You tube I can find. And unfortunately there is precious little. So yes I agree and hang my head in shame at a poor attempt at humour. Just an amazing drummer. Certainly in my top 3 of contemporary drummers.

[@csedan510]

So the traditional series are like Zildjian. I always thought Paiste sounded like a trash can lid.

[@monger6689]

I don’t hear it

[@daniel.lopresti]

If you're a drummer, it's imperative you get your hearing checked regularly. Especially after such a comment!

[@pawelmorrison]

He seems totaly bored about this whole thing

[@JCordoba1001]

He’s high AF, lol

[@2sGHD]

Lol nah, steves always like this, he's very laid back

[@JasonSmith-jr7jh]

He's not bored, He's COOL. The same reason he's wearing shades indoors with low lighting: When your that Cool, the sun is always shining! ☀️

Weird combo of dark cymbals and cranked up snare
