" I have been playing for many years. I actually never took the time before to choose a set of cymbals: Cymbals were always given to me by other drummer friends. When I got in touch with Soultone, I made the decision to go to LA and try out different cymbals in person: That process alone gives Soultone a special place in my heart. The staff was friendly and I got to briefly meet the owner of the company. I love the boutique style approach of the company: this makes Soultone very different from other brands. That's kind of my personality anyway. Now everytime I will go to L.A, I will make sure to stop by the shop just to say hello"

"What I like the most about Soultone cymbals is the uniqueness of each cymbal: The cymbals are handmade so each cymbal will have their unique sound, even within the same series I might say. Secondly, I quickly learned that I have to get to know my Soultone cymbals: I can't hit them the same way I was hitting my previous cymbals. It's like the beginning of a new relationship with its excitement and its fear.
