Testimony: I owned a very nice set of cymbals made by one of the "name" manufacturers, and was completely happy with what I had. I was introduced to Soultone via Shannon Sharp at a show, and was completely blown away by the sound, craftsmanship, and cosmetic appeal of these cymbals. They are by far the greatest cymbals on the planet!!! I know this, as I've owned sets of cymbals from all of the "big 3" manufacturers. Soultone cymbals are bright, cutting, glassy, yet they have an underlying warmth to die for. From heavy metal, to lounge jazz, Soultone has it covered. Hand-crafted, is the only way to go!

I've developed quite an arsenal of cymbals since joining Soultone, and this is for two reasons. For one, I'm playing with 2 different bands, plus I'm doing sub, and studio work. I have the ability to pick, and choose exactly what I need for a certain musical situation. Second, it's quite simple, this company is innovative, and they keep designing products that blow the mind. Ya gotta have em!!!
