I love the clarity of the ride. No matter how fast he plays it, you can hear every stroke and the tone of the China is exceptional. Most of them sound like gongs or trash can lids, this one sounds like a musical instrument.
I love the sound of these cymbals. I got the 22" ride (Modern Essentials) and I'm just blown away, love it! Thanks Vinnie and Paiste for a great Cymbal!
Vinnie teamed with Zildjian some years ago, and they came up with his A Customs, which sounded brilliant & breathy. But I've always been a fan of the old 602's, and these have everything that the A Customs had, plus a lot of much-desired depth & girth. Please don't tell my wife what I'm going to spend on these. And don't wake me up.
Good video. Two priceless moments: - His explanation about the making of the china. - His explanation about naming the cymbal line. Thanks Paiste and Vinnie.
I work for Paiste and can promise you it is not about money. We do not pay artists to play our cymbals. Vinnie heard some cymbals and wanted to learn more. It was well over a year of hanging out and playing cymbals before any endorsement talk was happening. This is a move based on sound, and sound alone.
True. He told me, in my car back at his hotel in Bordeaux around 1995, that, without knowing it, he thought he was already searching the Paiste kind of sound. Because he treid our some Signatures in my drumshop where he came to visit as he was playing with Patitucci the nigt before. He said "I will come to see you, I keep your card". He did come !!! Saw him again around 2013 and I asked "do you remember in my car in Bordeaux after the Patitucci gig ?" He said "YES !!! Those Paiste was already in my head but I didn't know their product at all...Only their image. He is such a nice guy and a monster of course...
Awesome cymbals. Haven't purchased a Paiste cymbals that I didn't like. I've cracked a few over the years and need to replace them soon. Won't use anything else but these fine cymbals. Vinnie blows me away every time I see or hear a performance of his. Amazing drummer!!
I used to be. Not anymore. The Swiss and German companies seem to be far better for the types of cymbals I'm listening out for. That's not to say that I will never go back to Zildjian again. I had a 19" A-Zildjian Crash cymbal that I dearly loved, but my :manager" at the time sold it to someone who got burned in one of his Coke deals!!!! However, that is NOT why I switched companies. It was just an unfortunate coincidence at the time....
M J M Some of my friends are but I have never got on with them as I like the brightness of Paiste but I know engineers prefer Zildjian as the brightness on Paiste can be difficult to control they say. Zildjian suits metal drummers but I have never been a metal drummer although I did play in a thrash band once.
@@misfit2022 What's funny is that my favorite drummer John Bonham, as many know, played Paiste...And I love his sound...Yet ever since I bought my first Avedis Zildjian ride back in high school from another drummer for $25(if you can believe it!)it's been pretty much all Zildjian...I do have a Dream crash/ride...Sabian Vault crash...And a Wuhan china...But mostly Zildjian...Have a great night...Happy drumming...And be careful out there!
M J M I was playing Paiste before I knew who John Bonham was. A friend’s father gave me a recording and said if you think Topper Headon is the best check this guy out and no doubt changed my life though still love Topper. I had good taste even as a kid. Good price. We have soundproof room, work not mine, and that darker Zildjian tone works very well in there. Paiste can cut through a little too much. I really like the Paiste 22” ride so I am biased. All Paiste for me down to 15” hi-hats but like I say I know plenty who prefer Zildjian but it’s like drinking JD it became popular but no match for a good single malt. Indeed you too. Always I am first in shopping or last out. Take care
People spend thousands of Euros for cigarettes, crappy pay TV or football / soccer / rugby ticket for overpaid gorillas. These cymbals will be at your side all your life if you take care of them. You can practice ride patterns every day for 10 years and then it’s a cheap ride every time.
they hit a Grand Slam developing this line in every aspect, its great they still offer some original Formula 602's , especially for those that dreamed of them but never thought they would ever get to own them.
I can’t imagine ever being happier with a ride cymbal than I am with my 22” 602 Modern Essentials. I first played it two years ago at GearFest, and was floored.
With this switching to these new cymbals and drums, Vinnie shows us he’s still seeking and evolving . Vinnie is a great artist ! Vinnie is a unique drummer ! Vinnie is a perpetual source of inspiration !!!
Paiste has always been my favorite sounding brand of cymbals, and all my favorite players have used them. Copeland, Bonham Charlie watts, Alex van Halen and now Vinnie. For my money, Paiste is the best sounding cymbal,peroid.
Amelia Maska I agree and I have only played Paiste but a lot of my more heavier minded friends would disagree as they swear by Zildjian. Paiste are more unfashionable in terms of brand but I have always said it means those who play them play them for the sound not the brand name. Vinnie C amazing jazz drummer played with Frank Z etc but who also played on a Megadeth album. Not too drummers have that breadth on their CV
Claes Gilered I seem to remember he played with Chick Corea so earned his jazz spurs right there and falls into the group of 3 of my favourite non rock drummers alive today Steve Gadd, Mad Hatter era, and later Dave Weckl.
I played a really old 22” 602 ride that was easily the best cymbal I had ever heard. Unbelievably unique tone to it. It was at House of Guitars in Rochester, I go whenever I’m in the area.
The china was another one where... it's like... well what are we gonna do with this china? And they did it! I think, initially I had a different idea about the china... and what I though it might have been... But! A few points in the process, I... I told them, I said you know... you guys I'm gonna step back on this one. And I told them, unreservedly, I said... I'm a little bit at the loss! Aaand they said 'It's okay... We got it.' And they did. They had it... No problem.
The quality of its equipment is undeniable, the sound is a matter of preference. I think this video shows his playing has changed. Before his playing was very explosive, exuberant, voluble, baffling, with astonishing rhythmic phrasing, a playing that kicks ass on and on ! Today, he shows us a playing more withdrawn but more aerial and fine, more ‘’in the pocket’’, softer and looser and more ‘’natural’’. Perhaps the playing of maturity !!!
I have to admit I have watched this video like 5 times just for the part when he drops his stick. The excitement he shows afterwards for finding the perfect ride after all hes accomplished is such a great testament for his love of the instrument cracks me up!
that opening sequence and his playing is literally drum porn, I wish he wasn't talking over the intro playing and throughout, I would have rather listened to the drums and cymbals
After having Zildjian A Customs for my first set of cymbals (wich I think are really good cymbals) Im making the switch to Paiste. Im going to get a set of Alphas in a brilliant finish and a sound edge hi hat. I just love their sound and deffinition.
so Vinnie was involved with the design of the beautiful A Customs AND these gorgeous sounding Paistes... wonder if he's gonna give Sabian some of his genius in a few years...
of all the Paiste lines, the 602's are my favorite...beautiful cymbals and a great investment. there's a sampled 602 ride in the Alesis Strike module that is even the finest sampled ride I've heard, and that seems incongruous but it speaks for itself as to the quality of this line.
Please Paiste, Please make more videos like this. I don't know Danny Carey with signatures. Alex Gonzales with 2002's. Joey Jordison with Rude's. But please more like this kind of videos. You have such amazing endorsees.
These are just great cymbals. I play the Signatures but these would be a great addition to any kit...Welcome to Paiste, Vinnie...I hope you stay a while.
One of the prerogatives that musicians enjoy is being able to choose their own gear to suit THEIR sense of musical expression. Just like you wouldn't appreciate someone telling you what car to drive, what neighborhood to live in, or what color shirt you can wear, you don't get to tell Vinnie what cymbals he can use to create HIS music going forward, no matter how long he might have been using something else. I for one have always loved the 602's -I think it's the best sounding crash/ride ever.
Vinnie is one of my Favorite Drummers (Hands Down). But for some reason, I enjoyed his sound better when he was using Gretsch, and Zildjian. As a drummer, I know you use what makes you the happiest, and his style hasnt changed. And I use neither Gretsch, nor Zildjian (I'm a Yamaha, Meinl Man). Ludwig, and Paiste, for years have been top notch products. But his sound sounded so good when he used the Gretsch-Zildjian combo. Is it just me?
I agree his sound with Gretsch and Zildijan was great. The one thing I will say is he is not playing along to music here. there is something about Paiste every time I hear them by themselves on youtube or in a musicshop. I don't like them. but I would be listening to certain artisst like Jack White In dead weather or even is sole stuff and say the cymbals sound awesome and then find out its paiste. Steve Jordon its the same thing. I would really like to test them out but Its expensive Gamble.
Yes, they are wonderfully recorded and sound great here but all in all the sound is pretty natural and I would say that despite the hype, this video does a fair job of representing what the product really is and how it really sounds.
Vinnie is THE ONLY drummer I have ever seen that can play jazz, rock, pop and metal just as if that was his primary type of music. No one else has transitioned between genres so fluidly and perfectly.
You guys do!!!! I have 2002 14 inch hi hats that i have .You have an awesome cymbals that i like but the price is crazy, the 20 or 21 inch dry sand ride??It is the best ride i ever heard .The giant beats are great, the 24 inch are nice.The rude hi hats are nice too.
at least I tried the signature of paiste family ? They are a unique sound and if liken it is time to probe a wing zildjian family from planet z, a custom , Avedis , K custom and none has the quality and the clean and elegant sound paiste
ZILDJIAN , SABIAN , PAISTE , ISTANBUL , MEINL , they are all TOP cymbals , with own specyfic sounds , feel . thanks God we are all diferent , with different taste , enough choice for everyone !
ZILDJIAN , SABIAN , PAISTE , ISTANBUL , MEINL , they are all TOP cymbals , with own specyfic sounds , feel . thanks God we are all diferent , with different taste , enough choice for everyone !
Vinnie walk on Water too! I've been playing 50yrs & he is up there w/the greatest. He's as good as it gets. WAtched him play 1st time w/Jeff Beck @ a Famous English club was on Cable TV anyway wow he's 10++++! Thx Vinnie your big fan
Nice warm sounding cymbals. I prefer these to his Zildjian A customs, which sounded too glassy and shrill. I hear he's been using the other Paiste lines as wel, depending on the gig (Traditionals, Giant Beats, 2002's).
Also have you ever heard the 20" RUDE ride and 14" rude Hi-Hats? Those 2 are so versatile, that even though this line is designed for harder genres of music, I'd be so willing to play jazz, fusion, blues and so on with them. Especially the hats. God, they sound amazing.
PAISTE 602 LOVE YOU. adoro os pratos da PAISTE poriço virei fã da marca. Moro no Brasil e aqui são muitos caros mas mesmo assim tenho a linha 201 da PAISTE.🎵❤❤👏👏👏
Vinnie Colaiuta is THE authority on drums. And these Paiste cymbals sound terrific. Moreover, I think, that they sound drastically different from the Zidlian A Customs which were kind of Vinnie's signature sound while his Ludwig's mimick the Vinnie Gretsch sound fairly well. However, heading for new directions is always good to stay fresh and I like that VC is still hungry!
Paiste cymbals and gongs are simply the best. I've played all brands, and they out play any of the rest. Plus...they are just beautiful to look at! The hand craftsmanship and passion is evident in the more "professional" line up, but I don't think we're critiquing the student models in this forum...right?
I'm so glad he made a change from his A Customs..they were just so blagh..so sudden and glassy. It got tiresome so fast. These new cymbals have some depth, warmth, and dynamics. It really has added some wisdom to his cymbal playing!!!
I feel they can be ok but not for using them for every cymbal on your kit. That being said I always thought they sounded worse than everything in the A series.
Having him switch to Paiste cymbals is huge for them!! Paiste has always seemed like a distant third behind Zildjian and Sabian, but I think this is a big shot in the arm for Paiste.
Huh? Yeah no .. theyve never been a distant third to anything Sabian sits way behind paiste in market share, endorsement doesn't carry rhe weight it once did as MTV doesnt really exist anymore and priint ads arnt really relevant anymore either..
I just bought these today here in our local store lightly used for half the price. I got 20 ride and 18 crash, awesome cymbals! Next will be the HH and 16 crash!
Hi Tim, thanks for your explanation; you have to understand that a lot of people have no idea how these endorsement deals come about... I suppose that creates a lot of prejudice. I honestly thought it was a money thing.. Anyway, I like to compliment Paiste on these great cymbals. They do sound very good.
These cymbals are the people's cymbals... I don't see how you could be more wrong. They are more expensive than other brands cymbals of the same quality level.
+Bruno de Souza Lino i guess they are the people cymbals because they are quality accessible for everyone , even if quality have a price . i mean you pay and have a truly great sound . not the case for all brands( maybe a reason why he switch for paiste off zildbrain ) ...now , selling is selling. that thing at 2:48 is too much(for players)....
You are correct! Back in the 80's when I bought my 2002's I tried them out and end up getting a 505 med. ride. I loved it and it was way less expensive than a 2002 ride.
I am a proud Paiste endorser. I know for a fact money had nothing to do with this move! I completely understand (With drummers like Vinnie) how some of you who have followed and love the gear he played for all of those years could be upset. But If you really listen to what Vinnie is saying about the cymbals/company and the reason he made the move and looked into it for yourselves I really believe you would understand why he made the switch. My opinion "Consistency"&"Versatility" are the big ones
(Regardless of the fact I am a Sabain guy for a sec) When you find the right cymbals, it's a magical experience. It's like no other. As drummer Zoro says, you play cymbals more than your drums (in terms of ride and hi-hats), so you need a good foundation starting with cymbals, and the rest will fall into place!
Since "dropping his stick" on hearing the 602 ride Vinnie has got rid of all of his K Zildjian ride cymbals. And he threw his A Customs onto his driveway and drove over them and then reversed. Gillette. "The Best A Man Can Get". These are nice cymbals no doubt. But it's all bullshit.
![ILLSLICK - KILLSHOT REMIX [FULL VERSION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RIK8RrqIAzE/mqdefault.jpg)
I love the clarity of the ride. No matter how fast he plays it, you can hear every stroke and the tone of the China is exceptional. Most of them sound like gongs or trash can lids, this one sounds like a musical instrument.
I've owned a 18" modern essentials crash for about 3 years now, and its insanely versatile. Never gets in the way of the music.
I love the sound of these cymbals. I got the 22" ride (Modern Essentials) and I'm just blown away, love it! Thanks Vinnie and Paiste for a great Cymbal!
Yeah that 22” ride sounds lovely
That’s what I want next, recently purchased an 18” and 14” hats ,love ‘em!!!!!!!!!!
Vinnie teamed with Zildjian some years ago, and they came up with his A Customs, which sounded brilliant & breathy. But I've always been a fan of the old 602's, and these have everything that the A Customs had, plus a lot of much-desired depth & girth. Please don't tell my wife what I'm going to spend on these. And don't wake me up.

If only half of this is actually factual we re satisfied going to bed every night
One of the best drummers in the world playing the best cymbals in the world. Paiste all the way. Always consistent.
Just tried these cymbals and man they are amazing! They play like butter, so smooth, great tone and feel soft, perfect cymbals honestly!
The best 15” hats I’ve every played and owned.
endorsed by zildjian: develops A customs
endorsed by paiste: develops 602 ModEss
True. He told me, in my car back at his hotel in Bordeaux around 1995, that, without knowing it, he thought he was already searching the Paiste kind of sound.

The control he has of his sticks, which are pretty heavy, to be able to produce such a light ride sound is astounding.
Awesome cymbals. Haven't purchased a Paiste cymbals that I didn't like. I've cracked a few over the years and need to replace them soon. Won't use anything else but these fine cymbals. Vinnie blows me away every time I see or hear a performance of his. Amazing drummer!!
I thought the intro he was going to say "I'm Vinnie Colauita and I am God".
HAH!!! Now that would have been a Trainwreck, for sure!
After the first 10 seconds of that sharprideheavyfunky groove I fainted. Just too much for my poor brain
LOL!
Hahaha... LoL 🤣
Nah! Vinnie is a Born Again Christian and knows from where his incredible talents comes from. His name is Jesus!
I'm a Zildjian guy but I enjoyed every note of this video!
I used to be. Not anymore. The Swiss and German companies seem to be far better for the types of cymbals I'm listening out for. That's not to say that I will never go back to Zildjian again.

You’re right

There will never be a better cymbal brand than Paiste.
Best sounding cymbals ever made, especially 2002s, GBs and 602s
And do not forget the Twenty pre-split.
I liked the twenty series. What happened to those?
Paiste does make some sweet sounding Cymbals.
That's perfect! I've been looking high and low for a set of chocolatey sounding hats
Slappy Mandingus - I prefer dark chocolate-y hi-hats. 😊👍🏼
These cymbals sound fantastic!
Has to be fair trade though as they are cymbals for the people. Lol 😂 complete marketing nonsense . 60’s 602’s are beautiful though

Yeh, it's the unplayable ride cymbal, because when somebody hits it, they reflexively drop their stick ;-)
that opening sequence and his playing is literally drum porn, I wish he wasn't talking over the intro playing and throughout, I would have rather listened to the drums and cymbals
I own the 14" and 15" hi-hats and they are absolutely phenomenal.
Do you have a favorite between the 14" and 15"?
vinnies snare sound is delightful; so dry, so articulate. Awesome cymbals too lol
Omg! This is awesome! I've been waiting for this since he announced his switch to Paiste! This made my day! Vinnie is my hero!
I could listen to this all day.
Vinnie has always been a monster! I still love my old (blue label) 602's. They're loud and they shine!
After having Zildjian A Customs for my first set of cymbals (wich I think are really good cymbals) Im making the switch to Paiste. Im going to get a set of Alphas in a brilliant finish and a sound edge hi hat. I just love their sound and deffinition.
Astonishing playing. Cymbals and drums sound FANTASTIC.
so Vinnie was involved with the design of the beautiful A Customs AND these gorgeous sounding Paistes... wonder if he's gonna give Sabian some of his genius in a few years...
he usado casi todas las marcas de platos, pero sin dudas me quedo paiste, llevo más de 15 años usando esta marca, me gustan todas las líneas!!!!
"Going to Switzerland was an amazing eperience....." yeah for THEM!

Bravo to Vinnie and Paiste! Wonderful playing and an amazing video.
Vinnie is a very dedicated player.
Its great to finally be able to watch a video of Vinnie Colaiuta soloing. time to get out my notebook and pen
Todo lo que el Master Colaiuta toque, suena cañón!!!. Everything the Master Colaiuta plays sounds great!!!.

I love this alloy, early Pink Floyd, Stewart Copeland played the hats to get his signature sound...beautiful cymbals...
"Paiste & Vinnie are a perfect collaboration, amazing drummer, amsing cymbals.I am beyond honored and proud to be a PAISTE artist"!
-RhythmSaint
Perfect cymbal series ever made. Formula 602 series is a great choice as the studio cymbals.
A BEAUTIFUL SOUND!
That China cymbal is the best China my ears have ever heard. So airy and breath and very little pang to it. I love it! : )
I love that low dark China!
Vinnie walk on Water too! I've been playing 50yrs & he is up there w/the greatest. He's as good as it gets. WAtched him play 1st time w/Jeff Beck @ a Famous English club was on Cable TV anyway wow he's 10++++! Thx Vinnie your big fan
Like the bit where he plays a jazz shuffle-Vinnie's got such great feel and hand/foot independence, not forgetting his great drum vocabulary...
That ride is fantastic.
Nice warm sounding cymbals. I prefer these to his Zildjian A customs, which sounded too glassy and shrill. I hear he's been using the other Paiste lines as wel, depending on the gig (Traditionals, Giant Beats, 2002's).
Traditionals mostly.
Also have you ever heard the 20" RUDE ride and 14" rude Hi-Hats? Those 2 are so versatile, that even though this line is designed for harder genres of music, I'd be so willing to play jazz, fusion, blues and so on with them. Especially the hats. God, they sound amazing.
Wow! You were there? Seeing Vinnie do his thing?! Great!
Probably the best cymbo-mercial EVER... With your host, Vinnie Colaiuta!
Bad ass!!!!
PAISTE 602 LOVE YOU. adoro os pratos da PAISTE poriço virei fã da marca. Moro no Brasil e aqui são muitos caros mas mesmo assim tenho a linha 201 da PAISTE.🎵❤❤👏👏👏
Greatest drummer alive, probably one of the top 5 of all time.
I know ihm since long time and yesterday I saw ihm with Sting and Paul Simon and many other super good musicians. He is BRILLANT!
Vinnie Colaiuta = greatest drummer ever & my idol.
Great job producing the cymbals and the video.
Vinnie Colaiuta is THE authority on drums. And these Paiste cymbals sound terrific. Moreover, I think, that they sound drastically different from the Zidlian A Customs which were kind of Vinnie's signature sound while his Ludwig's mimick the Vinnie Gretsch sound fairly well. However, heading for new directions is always good to stay fresh and I like that VC is still hungry!
Paiste cymbals and gongs are simply the best. I've played all brands, and they out play any of the rest. Plus...they are just beautiful to look at! The hand craftsmanship and passion is evident in the more "professional" line up, but I don't think we're critiquing the student models in this forum...right?
I'm so glad he made a change from his A Customs..they were just so blagh..so sudden and glassy. It got tiresome so fast. These new cymbals have some depth, warmth, and dynamics. It really has added some wisdom to his cymbal playing!!!
I feel they can be ok but not for using them for every cymbal on your kit. That being said I always thought they sounded worse than everything in the A series.
Vinnie was looking for that particular glassy, bright and transparent sound at that time. I like to listen to him using the Paiste's more though.
yep. grew up on zildjian As in band, but decided the 16 med thin is too garbage can liddy w not enough musical tone. Paiste YES!
This is a great vid with a great story, I feel like I just watched a movie!
Having him switch to Paiste cymbals is huge for them!! Paiste has always seemed like a distant third behind Zildjian and Sabian, but I think this is a big shot in the arm for Paiste.
Huh? Yeah no .. theyve never been a distant third to anything Sabian sits way behind paiste in market share, endorsement doesn't carry rhe weight it once did as MTV doesnt really exist anymore and priint ads arnt really relevant anymore either..
I came hear for that left hand...as per usual it never disappoints.
I just bought these today here in our local store lightly used for half the price. I got 20 ride and 18 crash, awesome cymbals! Next will be the HH and 16 crash!
Thank you and congrats! At which store did you purchase your cymbals?
+Paiste Cymbals Here in Canada, Alberta- Long & Mcquade.
Hi Tim, thanks for your explanation; you have to understand that a lot of people have no idea how these endorsement deals come about... I suppose that creates a lot of prejudice. I honestly thought it was a money thing.. Anyway, I like to compliment Paiste on these great cymbals. They do sound very good.
VERY well made video of the Modern Essentials.
love vinnie and his cymbals..superb !
Awesome video, awesome playing, gorgeous cymbals...
Great audio and video quality !
These cymbals are the people's cymbals...
I don't see how you could be more wrong. They are more expensive than other brands cymbals of the same quality level.
Bruno de Souza Lino they are expensive in US, same thing as sabian, zildjian are expensive in Europe
Bruno de Souza Lino I agree, but what other cymbals have the same timbre as this one?
check the prices for the zildjians and sabians in europe
+Bruno de Souza Lino Amen Bro...
+Bruno de Souza Lino i guess they are the people cymbals because they are quality accessible for everyone , even if quality have a price . i mean you pay and have a truly great sound . not the case for all brands( maybe a reason why he switch for paiste off zildbrain )
...now , selling is selling. that thing at 2:48 is too much(for players)....
Im lovin the 8" splash
NEW VINNIE SOUND!!!! I ABS. LOVE IT!!!!!
Paiste are the best. They usually suck on their own, but when the band joins in, they come to life and shine with their hidden beauty
What a beauty-sounding kit
I love these and the 2002 line!
Also I just bought an old Paiste 505 medium ride from the 80s which sounds similar to the 2002s
You are correct! Back in the 80's when I bought my 2002's I tried them out and end up getting a 505 med. ride. I loved it and it was way less expensive than a 2002 ride.
i have a hi hat signature precision sound edge and Vinnie he is absolutely right, they are fantastic cymbals
I am a proud Paiste endorser. I know for a fact money had nothing to do with this move! I completely understand (With drummers like Vinnie) how some of you who have followed and love the gear he played for all of those years could be upset. But If you really listen to what Vinnie is saying about the cymbals/company and the reason he made the move and looked into it for yourselves I really believe you would understand why he made the switch. My opinion "Consistency"&"Versatility" are the big ones
I'm lovin the 8" splash in this line
(Regardless of the fact I am a Sabain guy for a sec)
When you find the right cymbals, it's a magical experience. It's like no other. As drummer Zoro says, you play cymbals more than your drums (in terms of ride and hi-hats), so you need a good foundation starting with cymbals, and the rest will fall into place!
Since "dropping his stick" on hearing the 602 ride Vinnie has got rid of all of his K Zildjian ride cymbals. And he threw his A Customs onto his driveway and drove over them and then reversed.
Gillette. "The Best A Man Can Get".
These are nice cymbals no doubt. But it's all bullshit.
Still, to this day, love that 5x14 Hammered Brass Snare! Just killer!
Incredible . Is that the 22" Ride in this demonstration that he was discovering at the factory ? ....dropping the Stick !?
