Cymbal Brand You Most Play Now.

[BobC]

Sabian now for me. It's interesting to see Paiste as #1 and Zildian as #2.

I have been waiting for Zildjian to retreat a bit in popularity. It was inevitable, but I see these numbers do change as votes come in.

 

[Griener]

Cymbal & Gong (out of Portland, Oregon) for me.
About to get even more when my dealer @toddbishop comes to Berlin this week.

Yep, Cymbal & Gong, I basically never use any of my other stuff any more. Never been a one brand guy, but they made it really easy.

Here are a couple of the cymbals in that video with patinas added-- playing around with these a little bit for @Griener... he plays a lot of fast tempos....

 

[Rattlin' Bones]

Aren't all the best hand-hammered cymbals actually made in Turkey?

 

[Tiges]

My Cymbals i play now are Paiste 2002, Masters and Signature. 16,17,18,19 Crashes 20 Ride,20China 10 Splash.

 

[Al Strange]

I play mostly Paiste, owning 3 pairs of hats, 2 rides and a crash. Next is Zildjian (china and crash), Sabian (crash), Istanbul Agop (crash), Meinl (china), and my beloved Zanki bottom hat!

Paistes are actualy hand-hammered in Switzerland

A bit 50/50 here between Zildjian and Paiste at the moment

"I knew" nobody had a uFip Ice Bell 7" like I do. (update: now there's 2 ufippers.)





above hi hat side.
more melodic/orchestral haunting than the "Zil-Bel" I had.

 

[Soulfinger]

These days I´m switching between Mehmets and UFIPs, with two Anatolian JCs in the mix. My Sabians and Paistes mostly live in their bags ATM.

 

[Vintage Old School]

I play Istanbul Agop almost exclusively. I do have two Sabian, two Wuhan Chinas and several Bosphorus cymbals that I rotate in and out as well.

 

[MustangMick]

Istanbul Agop, for the last 20 or so years

Sabian, although only the hats and small crash are from the same series. It was not done intentionally, though. I don’t even think about buying cymbals that match, and in fact, one of my cymbals is a Diril. I just bought cymbals I thought I would like that weren’t too expensive and almost all were Sabians.

That’s what the Turkish say, but Sabian HH and HHX are very sweet and made by our neighbors in the Great White North.
