Paiste - Tris Imboden's, Chicago, PST Series 14" Swiss Hat 548g, paired with Swiss Flanger Stack Bottom 592g 2015–Present

Tris Imboden’s professional career has spanned 6 decades and is going strong!  From his first professional gig was in 1970 with the now legendary HONK, and his current gig with The Tris Imboden Yacht Stars, Tris has performed with A-list music icons including Neil Diamond, Kenny Loggins, Firefall, Richard Marx, Steve Vai, Roger Daltrey, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Chicago, Anita Baker, Julio Iglesias, Stevie Wonder and many more. Highlights of his career include driving Kenny Loggins' "Footloose", and "I'm Alright” to the top of the charts plus a 28 year gig as a member of Chicago.

Tris amassed a massive collection of drum gear over his six decade career. He’s decided to keep just enough to cover his current gigs, and asked my help finding worthy homes for the remainder of his collection. 

Tris Imboden’s endorsement relationship with Paiste began in 2007 and is going strong almost 2 decades later. 

Tris has long been known for tasteful, musical playing in Chicago, and setups like this reflect a modern layering approach, blending acoustic drums with more produced, hybrid textures.

This 14" Paiste PST X Swiss Hat setup from Tris' personal collection, combines a lightweight Swiss top with a Flanger stack bottom for a crisp, trashy voice that cuts instantly and gets out of the way. Ultra-fast decay and a tight, electronic-style response.
