A major brand of cymbals, Paiste's sound has crafted some of today's most popular music, including Led Zepplin, Van Halen, Slipknot, AC/DC, etc. The typical Paiste sound, or "Signature" sound is a bright, full, powerful sounnd, and a much more European sound that Zildjian or Sabian. There is a distinct difference in sound between Zildjian and Paiste. Example: Listen to a typical Korn song or Chevelle song (Paiste), then listen to a Velvet Revolver or, my favorite to distinguish the differences, a recently made Metallica song (Zildjian). Most people agree that Paiste's sound quite a bit better than Zildjian, though they are quite a bit more expensive, and therefore less popular than Zildjians.
*insert bright, strong crash sound here*-Good example of Paiste

*insert slightly dark, slightly trashy, well-pronounced crash sound here*-Good example of Zildjian

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
