The world renowned Swiss cymbal maker Paiste has welcomed Steve Gorman of The Black Crowes to its artist endorsement program. Steve has switched from Zildjian cymbals. His new set-up consists of Paiste 2002 and Giant Beat model cymbals.
Steve, who also spent some time as touring drummer for Stereophonics in 2004, is best known as the drummer of The Black Crowes, and as a member of Trigger Hippy.
Steve's playing can also be heard on releases such as Truman's 'Payne Avenue', Warren Zevon's final studio record 'The Wind', Jack Casady's 'Dream Factor' and Joe Firstman's 'The War Of Women'.
Steve's main band The Black Crowes have been highly accomplished and globally influential since they formed in 1989. Their discography includes nine studio albums, four live albums and several charting singles.
