I have found that since I have been playing with Soultone, their cymbals are more
durable and longer lasting. I have also noticed the cymbals themselves have a
cleaner, crisp sound and with a larger range of cymbals that come with a variety of
tones.
What I love most about Soultone is their customized logo, it makes the cymbals
more personal to me. Unlike other companies that seem to be going downhill with
the quality of their products, Soultone are managing to keep their manufacturing
quality to a great standard. I also like the raw bell sound on the Abby Cymbal Pack,
its unique and different to other cymbals I have used.
Personally, I think other drummers would appreciate the wider variety of sounds and
how the cymbals can fit a high amount of music genres, as a drummer of Rock that
is very important to me. There is also a vast range of merchandise which can not
only tell other musicians who you are using but also help promote Soultone.
As a drummer of roughly 19 years I have seen a big range of prices for the
equipment I use and I am sure other drummers can agree it is not exactly cheap. To
carry on my drumming sometimes things need replacing, or I need to buy new parts
to match certain songs or tones and to maintain this it can be a struggle to keep up

with today’s prices and them constantly rising. Luckily Soultone are much more
affordable and with such a better quality which means to me they are definitely worth
sticking with.
Soultone Cymbals Artist Relations have been extremely quick to respond to any
questions or complications I have had. They have helped me search for a sound
personal to me and have helped me to expand in my musical career. When I have
been shopping around for new cymbals I have noticed Soultone include demos of
the cymbal’s pitch which is a big thing when shopping online as it is hard to choose
just from a picture or description, I prefer to hear before I buy.
