Steve Jordans Cymbal with The Verbs

He endorses Paiste but he uses other cymbals for recording sometimes. Just like he endorses Yamaha but you see pics of him playing old Ludwigs all the time. The Verbs tracks I've heard don't sound like his signature 17" Traditionals over 17" Dark Energy hi hat pairing. I've seen him play old Zildjian 14's quite few times. I would almost guess that's what he was using on the Verbs tracks.
 
So I guess the Paiste site above that shows the cymbals he uses with the Verbs is phony then?
 
No, it's not a phony, but it's common practice for endorsers to use different gear than their usual setup in the studio depending on what sound they are going for on a particular track.
