Swiss cymbal maker Paiste has welcomed legendary drummer Gerry Brown to its family of artists. Gerry, who previously played Zildjian cymbals, is recognized as one of the most respected drummers with a vast career dating back over forty years.
Highly respected among his peers and musical colleagues, Gerry has worked closely with some of the biggest artists around the world.
From the early days of working with legendary bassist and school mate Stanley Clarke to music icon Diana Ross, Gerry has had an illustrious career.
Gerry's goal in any musical endeavor is to "serve the music", as he likes to say and this ambition has kept him busy working with top names such as Stevie Wonder, Chick Corea, George Benson, Marcus Miller, Jeffrey Osbourne, Dave Samuals, Larry Coryell, Chuck Loeb and many more.
