I am proud to represent Soultone and their Latin series in particular blew me away.
The cymbals are incredibly musical, and have this beautiful brightness that cuts right
through the percussion section, exactly what Latin music demands. The bells are
some of the nicest I have ever played, defined, and full of character. Soultone
captured the sound and feel that I have been chasing for years, and it has become a
big part of my playing.
