Soultone cymbals offer a great variety of cymbals. They are light in weight and the sound and the feel of the cymbals is exceptional.

Being a professional studio musician, I am always looking for the instrument that cuts through the mix. The Soultone cymbals stand out in the mix above all other cymbals I’ve tried.

In my experience Soultone cymbals have no equal match in the world of cymbals. They are built sound and look cannot be compared to any other cymbal brand. They stand out above the rest.

I encourage every drummer to try Soultone cymbals, whether in a live performance or studio situation, these cymbals will greatly enhance any drummers playing capabilities.

Soultone cymbals has made it much easier for me to hear the cymbals cutting through, therefore enhancing my playing by abilities by not having to over compensate for the lack of sound in my mix.

Right from the start the people at Soultone Cymbals have been amazing,
You can really tell they care about their artist and their product, it’s been wonderful
experience for me.
